Hello and welcome to the Apocalyptic Vibes edition of Slate Money,

your guide to the business and finance news of the week, we have come off a big

week of democratic debates where I was getting lots of love vibes from Marianne Williamson.

You're not going to be getting love vibes from Slate Money this week. If you want love vibes,

go to the Marianne Williamson website because it's

awesome. Otherwise, hang out here on Slate Money where we are going to talk about less lovely

things like private prisons and whether and how the private sector should be supporting such

things or even sending beds to concentration camps. We're going to talk about Chinese liquidity because, yes, we are going there.

We do wonk out about things like Chinese liquidity once in a while.

There was a bank which went bust, which you probably haven't heard of, but we're going to talk

about that.

And we are going to talk about Sir Jonathan Ive, the greatest designer of England, although he lives in a large house in San Francisco.

And he has quit his job.

And that is such big news.

It was like how many pages of the FD?

It was a six-part series.

In any case, I should introduce myself.

My name is Felix Salmon of Axios.
