#Social 经济衰退前夕，比尔盖茨在美国北达科它州买下相当于香港面积的土地。此地靠近美加边境，北边是加国曼省。此事引发州最高检查院介入，因为源引美国大萧条时期的法律，企业不得在此州占有土地，此条法律是为了保护在经济衰退期间的农民，防止企业乘机低价收购农民私地。现在历史又走到了这个轮回，此前Gates已经在美国购入了大约相当于美国农地1%面积的农田，成为美国头号地主。更有意思的是最近有一条新闻，中国一家公司也在附近购入300英亩土地，而附近有美军无人机基地。不知道两件事是否有关联性。

That growth environment will include rising inflation and interest rates. Those upward shifts naturally accompany healthy growth periods as the demand for resources, products and services rise. Importantly, the Federal Reserve has laid out the rationale for not interfering with that natural growth transition.It's not exactly a fad, but there is a widespread willingness to pay up for a growth story. Classic fundamental analysis takes a back seat. Even negative earnings are ignored. In fact, positive earnings seem to be a limiting measure, producing the question, "Is that all you've got?" The preference is a vision of untold riches when the exciting story plays out as expected.
Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
