as if stealing from you via inflation isnt enough.

https://www.businessinsider.nl/ing-negatieve-rente-sparen-250000/ This comes a mere months after having done this for 1M Together with inflation this will create big issues and big reactions from companies. All this because the ECB wants to stimulate the economy with negative interest rates. Where there is nothing to stimulate as everybody is thightning... Where will companies move there cash? The ECB wants them to invest. Bitcoin may be a safer option for some part even with the price fluctuations. -
How does mortality differ across countries? One of the most important ways to measure the burden of COVID-19 is mortality. Countries throughout the world have reported very different case fatality ratios – the number of deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases. Differences in mortality numbers can be caused by: Differences in the number of people tested: With more testing, more people with milder cases are identified. This lowers the case-fatality ratio. Demographics: For example, mortality tends to be higher in older populations. Characteristics of the healthcare system: For example, mortality may rise as hospitals become overwhelmed and have fewer resources. Other factors, many of which remain unknown.

For the twenty countries currently most affected by COVID-19 worldwide, the bars in the chart below show the number of deaths either per 100 confirmed cases (observed case-fatality ratio) or per 100,000 population (this represents a country’s general population, with both confirmed cases and healthy people). Countries at the top of this figure have the most deaths proportionally to their COVID-19 cases or population, not necessarily the most deaths overall. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

The original version was designed by Lizzie Magie to illustrate the pitfalls of monopolies, She was from a political party (Georgists) that was against monopolies and advocated a type of property tax to remedy them. She created the game to show how easily capitalism could be manipulated and ultimately concentrate wealth to one person. It was really good at showing that, but people loved the aspect of becoming wealthy and winning There was also a cooperative version, in which the players worked together to achieve certain goals. The purpose was to demonstrate that unregulated monopolies ruined things for everyone else.

Monopoly's first creator is almost impossible to know because it was informally played by many people with their own boards and rules, until a lady patented it under "The Landlord's Game". But later on Parker Bros claimed it as their own and began suing anyone else who had any resemblance to the game, which everyone knew wasn't true. There were a few people who stood against them, but many gave in to the lawsuits and quit. Ultimately, if I remember correctly, the courts ruled that The Landlord's Game was the original, but Parkers had become a powerhouse at that point and dominated the competition, becoming the sole owner of the game you know today. tldr: Monopoly became a monopoly

The Trump administration will impose a fresh round of sanctions on 11 individuals, including Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, as tensions between the United States and China accelerate. The Treasury Department designated Lam for her role in overseeing and “implementing Beijing’s policies of suppression of freedom and democratic processes.” https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/07/us-sanctions-hong-kong-leader-carrie-lam.html

And the quality of our modern letters leaves a lot to be desired. Did at&t basically shoot itself in the foot back in the 1970's?
