… …another bond-trading outfit has turned an empty office into a Greenspan shrine. Dozens of news photographs of Greenspan adorn the walls; glass casing encloses two Bic pens Greenspan supposedly used in 1993. Quotations from more than 30 of his speeches are posted under a sign that reads “Greenspan’s Teachings.” The centerpiece is a red leather chair that sits in the middle of the room, surrounded by blue velvet ropes. A placard perched on the armrest says Greenspan sat in the chair in 1948–at the time, he was still in college. “Some nights when we’ve lost money,” trader Brent Donalds confides, “I come in here and sit in the chair and think. It gives me inspiration.”
At our current rate, 60% of our vaccines already shipped will expire before being used
GRAFTON, Wis. (CBS 58) A now former employee at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton “intentionally removed” 57 vials of a COVID-19 vaccine from refrigeration earlier this week, forcing the clinic to discard nearly 500 doses.
This should be a hair-on-fire crisis and any governor who lets vaccine doses expire rather than get them out the door should be thrown in prison for negligent homicide. https://t.co/pinwBOH9su Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) December 30, 2020
Governors are being WAY too precious about who gets this vaccine and we’re going to end up with millions of doses of expired vaccines if states don’t get serious about getting this out the door. These numbers are dangerously bad https://t.co/9VBv9nSEkrpic.twitter.com/RciNui1kSn Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) December 30, 2020
