Conceptos Plasticos and Dow Chemical collaborate on innovative new plastic bricks
What if Legos were real?
What if instead of that toy house you built when you were a kid, you could build a REAL house out of plastic bricks. A good house. And to make it even better those plastic bricks would be made from recycled plastic. The magic here is a novel molecule in the mix called a compatibilizer. They take part of one polymer and put specific groups of atoms on the molecule to make it attract another type of polymer. That way you can recycle mixed plastic waste without having to separate and purify everything.
Conceptos Plasticos is the Colombian company that came up with the idea and makes the bricks. As co-founder, Oscar Mendez, explains, “We can use plastics that not everyone recycles or hard-to-dispose plastic.…the bricks are twice as strong as conventional materials, can stand up to an earthquake and…it is completely waterproof… in places that flood.”
The houses are sturdy, thanks to the strong, durable plastic bricks. The houses are naturally cool, which is good for hot climates in Latin America and Africa, where the first houses are being built. The houses are inexpensive and easy to build in part because the bricks snap together. Four people can build one in five days and for 30 percent less than the cost of a typical house.
Dow Chemical is partnering with Conceptos Plasticos to find ways to give the plastics it makes, including hard-to-recycle plastics like potato chip bags, a new life rather than sending them to landfills.
Dow is also collaborating on another project, using the same type of plastic bricks to build schools. New classrooms are already open for learning, in Colombia and across the Atlantic in the Ivory Coast, where the plan is to build more than 500 classrooms.
Dow’s chemical know-how adds a second contribution to the project as well. Dow makes another material, called a “compatibilizer” that helps different plastics mix and stay together better, which makes for a better plastic brick.
Of course, any reuse of plastics is good news. But because schools are bigger than houses, the amount of recycled plastic put back to work is bigger too – four metric TONS per school, which makes this good news, even better.
And these days, houses aren’t the only things we’re making from recycled plastic. In fact, you could drive home to your new recycled plastic house, on a street paved with recycled plastic!
You could even get a nice set of kitchen chairs for your new plastic house, made from recycled soda bottles – think PET (polyester) made from xylene. So maybe someday in the future, one of your empty bottles, might end up right back in your kitchen. And whatever kitchen it turns up in, it’s good to know that together, companies and consumers are finding productive ways to keep plastic out of the trash, and turn something old into something useful.

New requirement for NASDAQ listed companies.
"It would require most Nasdaq-listed companies to have, or explain why they don’t have, at least two diverse directors. This includes having one board member who self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as either an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ. Foreign companies and smaller reporting companies would have additional flexibility in satisfying this requirement with two female directors."

BlackRock Emerges as Wall Street Player in Biden Administration
Wall Street bankers, and in particular those from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., have long held senior positions in the White House. Under President-elect Joe Biden, such roles are going to executives of BlackRock Inc.
A former Goldman executive held the Treasury secretary post in three of the last four administrations, but the firm is absent so far from the White House this time. Instead, two executives who have worked at asset-management giant BlackRock will be the senior Wall Street representatives.
Mr. Biden is expected this week to name BlackRock's head of sustainable investing, Brian Deese, to run the National Economic Council, said people familiar with the matter. Adewale "Wally" Adeyemo, a former chief of staff to BlackRock's chief executive, is expected to be named Tuesday as the No. 2 at the Treasury Department.
"By picking folks with deep ties to large asset managers, the administration can help assuage financial executives' concerns. It sends a clear signal to the industry to breathe easier: They can plan for stability without likely facing massive new regulatory or tax risks," said Tyler Gellasch, executive director of investor trade group Healthy Markets Association. Some progressives and investor advocates worry that the naming of any finance executives could result in looser regulatory scrutiny on big money managers.
But broadly, BlackRock may not draw the kind of anger that traditional Wall Street banks like Goldman tend to generate. BlackRock is in the business of investing money for individuals and institutions like endowments, and much of its growth comes from funds that track market indexes. Asset managers like BlackRock don't arrange mergers and acquisitions, they don't earn big profits from trading and their employees, while well paid, often aren't seen within the finance industry as swaggering bankers. The firm has faced criticism for investing in companies that contribute to climate change, and for failing to live up to its own rhetoric on the subject, environmental activists say. It pledged this year to take a tougher stance.
The role of BlackRock alumni in the Biden administration is the latest chapter in a decadelong rise in both Washington and on Wall Street. BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world with $7.8 trillion under management as of September. As it has grown, it has both boosted its operations in Washington and hired government officials. Messrs. Deese and Adeyemo worked in the Obama administration. BlackRock's global footprint and experience with markets "will be invaluable as the president-elect navigates a slowing economy and turbulent markets in the wake of the pandemic," said Stefan Selig, an investment banker who runs BridgePark Advisors LLC and was undersecretary of Commerce during the Obama administration.
The Biden administration economic team will be filled with economists and policy makers who focus on areas such as income inequality and labor markets. That is a contrast to the Trump administration, which named former Goldman Sachs executive Steven Mnuchin as Treasury secretary, former Goldman President Gary Cohn as an economic adviser and other firm alumni to senior roles. Goldman veteran Robert Rubin served as President Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary, while Henry Paulson Jr. occupied the position in President George W. Bush's second term. The Obama administration had few Wall Street executives.
Mr. Adeyemo, a former senior international economic adviser during the Obama administration, is expected to serve as Janet Yellen's top deputy at the Treasury Department. The former BlackRock executive worked as a senior adviser for the company from 2017 to 2019, including as interim chief of staff to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.

European Union needs perpetual debt to survive – George Soros
Objections by Poland and Hungary over an EU plan to deal with the economic crisis has put the bloc in a “very difficult situation” and raises doubts over its future, according to billionaire investor George Soros.
Soros had previously said the EU should issue “perpetual bonds,” which means the principal amount of the money borrowed would never be repaid, only the annual interest payments. It also assumes the EU would last forever and therefore keep paying the interest back to the lender. Perpetual bonds could allow the region to fund projects at very low costs.
However, Soros has changed his mind, writing in an opinion article that “Right now, it would be impossible for the EU to issue perpetual bonds, because the member states are too divided.”
He explained that “Investors will buy perpetual bonds only from an entity that they believe will continue to exist for the foreseeable future… Sadly, it is not true of the EU today.”
Last month, the Hungarian and Polish governments vetoed EU’s plan to link access to the union’s funding to the application by member states of rule of law, a check on whether countries are complying with European values.

Treasury Sanctions Network for Assisting Colombia’s Clan del Golfo Drug Trafficking Organization
December 1, 2020
WASHINGTON– Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Jhon Fredy Zapata Garzon (Zapata Garzon) pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) for materially assisting the international narcotics trafficking activities of the Clan del Golfo. Three of his family members and associates are also being designated along with four businesses they own or control.
“Criminal organizations trafficking cocaine and other drugs are a threat to the safety of the American people,” said Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “Treasury will continue to use its authorities to identify and disrupt dangerous criminal organizations.”

75% of the $454 Billion CARES Act Money Never Went to the Fed; It Was Invested by a Mnuchin Slush Fund Called the ESF
The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27. Congress earmarked $454 billion of that stimulus money to be distributed by the Treasury to the Federal Reserve to be used for emergency lending programs to save businesses and jobs during the pandemic and keep credit flowing to the U.S. economy. The catch was that the Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, would have to give his approval for each of the programs.
Since June, Wall Street On Parade has been reporting that $340 billion of the $454 billion that Mnuchin was instructed to turn over to the Fed was unaccounted for. We noted that 98,000 businesses had permanently closed in the U.S. while this money, intended for economic relief, went missing.
On November 19, Mnuchin publicly issued a letter to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, making it sound like most of the CARES Act money has been sitting idle at the Fed and Mnuchin was demanding it back to put to better use.
Adding to our conviction that Mnuchin was intentionally misleading the public, Bloomberg News published an article on Tuesday about the funds that Mnuchin planned to claw back from the Fed. The Bloomberg article carried this sentence: “The money in question includes $429 billion that Mnuchin is clawing back from the Fed — which backed some of the central bank’s emergency lending facilities…”
But for months now, the Federal Reserve’s weekly financial statements known as the H.4.1 have indicated that all the Fed received from Treasury for its emergency lending facilities was $114 billion, leaving $340 billion unaccounted for.
Wall Street On Parade has repeatedly asked the press office of the U.S. Treasury to explain this discrepancy. It has refused to answer our inquiries. We have repeatedly asked the Fed’s press office to explain this discrepancy and it has directed us to its official financial statements which show it has received just $114 billion from the Treasury for its emergency lending programs.
This morning, we located the missing funds on our own with no help from the Treasury’s press office that is paid by American taxpayers to keep the public informed. Tens of billions of dollars of CARES Act money has been put to very strange use by Mnuchin in a slush fund called the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) which states that it gives the U.S. Treasury Secretary “considerable discretion in the use of ESF resources.”
We located the financial statements for the Exchange Stabilization Fund and they confirmed that all the Treasury has given the Fed for its emergency lending facilities was the same $114 billion that the Fed has been reporting on its financial statements.

California’s Highest-Paid Govt Employee Worked for Org Tied to Chinese Espionage
Taxpayers paid $1.7 million to ex-pension fund manager Meng
California taxpayers shelled out more than $1 million to a man linked to a Chinese espionage program, making him the state government’s highest-paid worker.
Meng Yu, former chief investment officer of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), received more than $1.7 million in total pay and benefits in 2019, according to the latest financial disclosures obtained by Transparent California, a taxpayer watchdog group. Under Meng's leadership the pension fund, which covers two million members in the retirement system and 1.5 million members under its health program, has been subject to federal inquiries into its investments in Chinese government entities.
Meng took the lead at the pension fund after China's Thousand Talents Program recruited him to serve as the deputy CIO of China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), a state-controlled entity. The FBI considers the Thousand Talents Program an example of "China's non-traditional espionage against the United States" that seeks to recruit people to transfer U.S. trade secrets and taxpayer-funded research into the hands of the Chinese government. Meng told the propaganda outlet People's Daily that he worked for SAFE out of patriotic commitment to "the motherland."
Neither CalPERS nor Governor Gavin Newsom's (D.) office responded to requests for comment.
Robert Fellner, the executive director of Transparent California, blasted CalPERS for failing to conduct appropriate oversight for such a high-profile position, pointing to Meng's August resignation.
"One would think that the state’s highest-paid employee earned his position after rigorous scrutiny revealed him to be the best candidate for the job," Fellner said. "If such recklessness is prevalent in a decision of this size and magnitude, how can Californians have any faith that their tax dollars are being spent responsibly in all those areas that evade public scrutiny?"
Meng resigned after the financial news blog Naked Capitalism reported that he may have committed a felony by failing to disclose his sale of 21 securities in 2019. Some of the undisclosed sales involved shares in Chinese companies. The site also argued that Meng's investments in Blackstone Group and other private equity groups presented a conflict of interest, since experts at CalPERS had advocated offloading investments in the firms—a move that would hurt Meng’s personal portfolio.
Meng's China ties attracted federal scrutiny. In February, the Trump administration confirmed that it was "looking at" CalPERS's investment in Chinese defense and state-owned companies to find out whether American taxpayer money was being used to subsidize China's military expansion. Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), a leading China hawk on Capitol Hill, told the Washington Free Beacon that California owes taxpayers an explanation for how Meng was able to go directly from working for a Chinese entity to being the state's top earner.
