Jamie Dimon's annual letter says sensible things about inequality, politics, tax loopholes etc. But it shouldn't take a CEO saying this stuff for it to be taken seriously. https://t.co/vURrlvjLIp

Here's an example of the kind of chart that makes people justifiably skeptical about SPACs. https://t.co/a123F3FwDM

Conservative activists are putting a right-wing spin on ESG. Companies will have to get used to it. https://t.co/pkhvmWHNQT

In America it's pretty easy to buy guns and very hard to pass laws. Changing that is possible, but not without consequences. https://t.co/zV5QlRvnLb

Podcast: @JeffImmelt ran GE for 16 years, during which time its market value roughly halved. He discussed his book “Hot Seat” and how it attempts to put that rocky period into context with @johnsfoley on The Exchange. https://t.co/KtT0yV7Ky0

The Goldman Sachs worker bees who made a slide deck protesting 'inhumane' conditions deserve some sympathy, even though they’re faring better than most Americans. Their self-pity is worrying for Wall Street, though, says @johnsfoley of @Breakingviews https://t.co/sX6Fbc44De

From @Breakingviews: Elon Musk has found a new way to troll his detractors, anointing himself Technoking of Tesla. But at least he’s keeping shareholders happy at the same time, says @johnsfoley https://t.co/CaKQzriy70

Netflix is testing a clampdown on users who share passwords. It sounds like an act of self-defence, but it might also be a clever way to raise the heat on other streaming services, writes @johnsfoley: https://t.co/NRZsHD7cH2 https://t.co/4INlsq5And

Ditching racially divisive brands isn't simple. But New Orleans craft brewery @dixiebrewco shows it's possible, even for a Southern staple. https://t.co/RrYSQNKWah

Watch: Covid-19 hurt the economy in 2020, but not the pay of big bank CEOs. A $33 million package is harder than usual to justify, @johnsfoley suggests. https://t.co/zOEeIKgDox https://t.co/Iht7KgfgI6

Email bankruptcy. Simply set an auto-reply that says “This inbox is currently undergoing a restructuring owing to attention-insolvency. Your claim on the recipient’s time has been ranked as ultra-subordinated.” And presto! https://t.co/koxa7wC1yf
Really wish someone would invent an email add on that shows people how any unread messages a recipient already has. If people could see the 92,749 mails already demanding my attention, they might think the better of 'just wanted to follow up on'....

U.S. banks benefited massively from government measures to support the economy and lending as Covid-19 struck. That makes Wall Street bosses’ 2020 pay hard to justify, says @johnsfoley. https://t.co/41ieBD1zti https://t.co/bjcanb7a3a

Four months ago Mark Machin and Kevin Sneader co-wrote a guest view for @Breakingviews extolling the benefits of long-term corporate thinking. This week they both lost their jobs.
