>President Joe Biden has nominated career intelligence official Navy Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth to lead the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the organization in charge of analyzing satellite imagery for the intelligence community.

I don't "know" him, but I've spoken with him twice in the last year. I won't reveal the connection here, though at that level, I'm sure they can ID me. One comment kind of irked me, but I get it. On the other hand, he seemed pretty uptight and unwilling to put himself in any bad light. Extremely likely those conversations were surveilled, but I went in assuming that. Anyway, his reputation precedes him from someone "close" that I do know and trust. That said, that person does not have any kind of insider knowledge. It's all just to say that I strongly lean toward this being one of the good guys. You never know though…

>What the fuck are you saying?

I assume Whitworth to be on our side.

This is a BIG but random find. A Brazilian mega bank…

"Itaú means “black rock” in the language of the Tupí-Guaraní, an important indigenous people in Brazil, according to the bank."

It is an easy fix. The funds and ETFs belong to the people. The current structures allow for essentially IOUs but the brokers/managers control the voting rights of the underlying shares. The problem isn't that everything is owned, it is that unless you own individual shares, or more importantly the pensions, etc. can pass-through the voting powers, we are fucked. But question: would you want to track every obscure company's board of directors in your microcap fund? We need trusted representative governance in finance.
