Argentina Is First Nation in Ibero-America To Produce Sputnik V Vaccine
In an April 20 press release, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, announced that its partner, Argentina’s Laboratorios Richmond, had produced a test batch of 21,000 doses of the Sputnik V vaccine, the first Ibero-American nation to do so. Samples will be sent to Russia’s Gamaleya National Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology, which first developed Sputnik V, where they will undergo quality control tests. Once the tests are completed, Richmond plans to gear up for mass production by June, if all goes well.

Stocks in the past few days have moved higher across the board. Mr. Market has apparently decided that President Bidens sweeping tax hikes wont be passed. Well just have to see.
Remember, Democrats will have two bites out of the reconciliation process that these tax hikes will have to be put through. So caveat emptor. Be warned.
Im still suffering economic shock from Bad Earth Day. It was bad because Mr. Biden announced a 50% cut in carbon emissions in only a few years. That is going to throw a wet blanket over this booming economy.

Climate change is an increasingly important global issue. Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus, has pointed out marked unfairness in global climate governance: rich countries set lofty carbon goals and policies to promote green energy, including levying carbon tariffs that can bring them profits, but developing countries have to pay for the rich s benefits.
Thus, the right way to fix climate is through innovation, increasing investment in the research and development of green energy, Lomborg said. Developing countries should insist rich countries stop their unjust policies and return the world to green energy R&D.
