Many of the links are to the WSJ, which are paygated. However, I summarized them in this post. Some of the posts have political elements, but I tried to focus on the business implications as I've already grown sick of the national news' play-by-play coverage of Trump's presidency. Perhaps you'll learn something that flew under the radar. The news stories confirm MJ's assertions about the slowlane, AI, and the job market. Think starting a business is risky? Well, so is graduating from university and expecting a good white collar job with a salary in the United States. Think Wall Street investing is safe? These articles show how "seasoned professionals" are a bunch of clowns.
Hedge fund manager created a fund that completely imploded to the tune of billions of dollars, leaving investors holding the bag. He forms a new one and now has 12bln in assets. When an expert was asked about his history, the expert stated something along the lines of "everyone makes mistakes." Maybe I'm in the wrong business. This confirms' MJ's assertion that these asset management firms are corrupt.

Thinking about getting an MBA? Even Harvard MBAs struggle to find jobs after graduation. Although the data is based on their employment status a few months after graduation, imagine going through all the hoops you need to get an MBA only to be without any employment and six figures of debt.

The Philippines joins BRICS. If you don't know what BRICS is, it is an alliance between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa to collaborate on trade. This demonstrate's China's growing power in the global market. The news story was quickly swept under the rug in US outlets in favor of covering every detail of the new Trump presidency. It seems like the US media would find a way to cover Trump's toilet habits if they could. This indicates that China is out competing the US on the global stage.
