Hi Jonathan, Angela here. Maybe no one has informed you of the racist and sexist hate mail my latina VP and I receive due to your Twitter trolls and the media campaign used to demonize the very people you are "trying" to get back to work to be with children.

A dimension to this story that we can’t forget. Many of the leading folks in the industry that now wants Powell to step up and protect them spent the last 5 years telling lies and breeding cynicism about the Fed as pretext to sell cryptocurrencies to retail bagholders.

very sad news that a great American writer, Russell Banks, beloved friend of so many, passed away peacefully last night in his home in upstate NY. I loved Russell & loved his tremendous talent & magnanimous heart. "Cloudsplitter"--his masterpiece. but all his work is exceptional
