is on the hook to deliver more than 5,900 tons of silver it doesn’t have. Tradeable silver is relatively scarce right now, government data shows.

A big problem [ed: for JP Morgan] is that there’s not enough actual silver available for trading to get JP Morgan out of the squeeze it got into through unbridled greed. The more silver prices rise the more JP Morgan gets hurt.

Ben Lockwood (broadly defined)Relatedly, I will never not be in awe that the #fediverse exists. An open source, free social media with no profit incentive or direct method of monetization. Built and maintained primarily by volunteers. It’s precious and wildly under appreciated
@Lydie maybe if it reduced the cost to zero it would be a fair trade off for some
Denis - The COVID info guy -Scientists have been studying remote work for 4 years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”
"The four-year lens shows a real shift: flexible schedules raise well-being, protect focus, and support steady results. People sleep longer, commute less, eat better, and give more time to family. Because managers reward outcomes, trust grows and meetings get sharper. That is how remote work changes daily life without lowering standards."
