Wall Street has decided Trump is too mentally unstable to trust.

A THREAD.
1. I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump.

⚠️ nerd talk

The most recent iOS build includes some of our internal dev tooling. Turns out this was caused by a race condition in our build pipeline. An internal build was running at the same time as the production build, and the build-number got misassigned. I blame DNS.

Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America
CVS, Target and other chains have barricaded everything from toiletries to cleaning supplies. It’s backfired in almost every way.
