Dawn Lim, Benjamin Robertson and Annie Massa of Bloomberg report CalPERS unloads a record $6 billion of private equity stakes at a discount: The California Public Employees’ Retirement System sold about $6 billion of its stakes in private equity funds to second-hand buyers, severing ties with a slew of past managers and freeing up cash for new wagers.

"The Age of Lies"
*"The Age of Lies"* by Jeffrey Tucker “Filling my car used to cost $33,” came a text from a friend to my phone. “Now it costs $70. What gives?” My unhelpful answer: “Very bad things.” In a few months or sooner, it could be closer to $100. No one knows for sure. Madness seems to have broken out on all fronts and in ways that have shaken even the most pessimistic prognosticator. The spokesperson for the U.S. president says it is all due to the Russia/Ukraine war, which in fact can only account in part for the latest spikes. But, hey, anything to deflect from the reality that the Bide... read more

Corporate Billionaires Are Wrecking The Supply Chain
Before these past two years, if you were polling passersby on the street, you would have been hard pressed to find anyone ready to admit that they were seriously concerned about the supply chain. You’d be hard pressed, for that matter, to find many who could describe what the supply chain actually is (present company included). That is certainly not the case today. From shortages—and correspondingly high costs—of groceries and consumer goods like baby formula and sunflower oil to medical devices, “supply chain issues” have become a pronounced source of anxiety and frustration for ... read more

Boris Johnson’s Messy Political Legacy Of Lies, Scandals And Delivering Brexit
Boris Johnson, the now outgoing prime minister of the United Kingdom, had wanted to follow in the footsteps of his idol Winston Churchill and be remembered as a leader of consequence.
