Ten Observations

 1.  The thing about all this lab leak/Covid chatter.....there's not a single day in America, where some industry mechanism screws up and a 'mess' is created which requires a 'clean-up'.  In China?  There's probably forty-odd screw-ups each day.  So this whole Covid non-leak business is more or less a joke.

2.  Whether you like it or not....there's two divisions of banks in America....the ones you will save without thinking, or the ones you allow to dissolve....never regretting your bold non-action.

3.  Bitch-slaping someone....probably ought to be a 3rd degree misdemeanor....meaning you pay $5 for the act.  

4.  If you've never read up on the 'Winter War' where Finland accomplished a 'Ukraine-like' halt to the Soviet Army.....you might want to go spend 30 minutes reading up on the episode.  I don't think Putin ever read over that part of Soviet history.

5.  Whether bright or not....this May....Ukraine will get a listing of where they stand on joining the EU.  It'll just irk Putin and the Kremlin twice over.

6.  Someone started a trend where Trans-women are referred to as 'women-plus'.  Not sure how they mean the plus.

7.  And just like that....the Silicon Valley Bank sold for exactly 1 Brit Pound to HSBC.  It would have been worth several billion a month ago.

8.    One interesting factor about HSCB's landscape (owning SVB now).....they hate crypto, with a passion.

9.  We talk more about 'failures' today....than successes.  Isn't that odd?

10.  The day will come where you (as a guy) will know more Women-plus or Trans-women....than actual real women.
