Why China Will be the Big Winner of the 2020 Crisis

This is China, what is still the worlds foremost industrial economy has apparently been knocked down a peg as it emerged into the new decade. There has been wild speculation about companies divesting from the country as a response to the critical flaws in supply chains that have been brought to light. The world today is heavily reliant on china to manufacture almost everything we take for granted in our modern lives. Report’s of companies desperately looking for supply chain alternatives and speculation about countries that are going to move in to take their place have been all over the news, and perhaps there is some merit to this speculation, but a lot of this may be un-grounded in genuine economics and rather just be the product of things people want to be true.

IT'S THE RIGHT TIME FOR THIS > The Revival of MONOPOLY

How do you win Monopoly? 
And how do you keep it fun at the same time?

Your MesaZona blogger featured this board game in a series of posts ....
Here's only one from 2018

The Creation of The Board Game Monopoly

It's a timely coincidence to see a new video on Bloomberg about what was the inspiration behind the boardgame played by generations while frequent readers of this site might have been curious about the reason your MesaZona blogger featured the game Mormonopoly so many times about what could be a hyper-local update of the generations-old land development schemes here in Arizona. 

Monopoly was designed to teach the 99% about Income Equality.
It's an American classic of working-class ingenuity that The Great Depression helped launch, invented by a 'leftwing feminist". Yikes! 
After The Great Recession income, the Upper 1% is doing much better.

Here's a True Confession:
Nearly everything your MesaZona blogger knows about the Utah-version MORMONOPOLY: Buying The New Zion One Property At A Time
Monday, March 10, 2014
is from this source:
The Bare Record of Truth
All of us are very familiar with the non-profit side of the Church with the buildings of Temples, churches, and the missionary program, but most are not familiar with the LDS Church for-profit companies. I thought it might be good to have fun playing a game with some of the properties that the Church owns. These are investment properties and companies that are income-producing assets.
. . . Many might be surprised to know that the LDS church is the largest non-governmental land owner in the US. . . In a recent fireside at our stake, a Church employee spoke and shared with us that the Church builds more square footage in United States than Walmart. . .
Just like here in Mesa Property Reserve Inc., a real-estate holding company owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has bought up a number of properties.
What is witness of what the writer of the blog Bare Truth had a revelation about:
"While developing land to subdivide into home lots is one thing, when I learned that the Church has land with plans to develop an entire new city, I was really surprised. . . "
For those that are interested, here is a partial list of some of the other LDS for-profit companies and  property holdings from the BareTruth blog - added to ranches, desert lands and livestock holding companies:
Deseret Management Corporation 
Property Reserve, Inc.
Suburban Land Reserve, Inc
Zion Public Finance Group 
Deseret Trust Company
LDS Family Services
Property Reserves Inc. (PRI) "I would be interested in knowing how these companies and properties fulfill the missions of the Church, and with "hastening the work". It might be my lack of understanding but, it seems to be a lot of business as usual.  Large land parcels of several thousand acres for agriculture seems like a good thing.. but long-term development, mixed use projects, office, industrial, high rise condos seems more like Monopoly. ___________________________________________________________________________________
Is there a right way to play Monopoly?
Brian Valentine takes a stab at the answer — he was the United States representative to the 2015 World Monopoly championships, where he earned a third-place finish. As the above video shows, playing Monopoly right involves learning the rules all over again, processing key strategies, and, above all, valuing the people you play it with. Valentine shares his knowledge about probability heat maps that show the likelihood of landing on a certain space, nuances of gameplay around houses and hotels, and even a few tips on making games fun instead of rancorous.
Further reading: There are tons of articles that break down the math of Monopoly. 
While it’s not the only ingredient to playing Monopoly right, it’s an important one. 
This Business Insider article by Walt Hickey is a great primer, and this Thrillist article by Daisy Barringer gives you even more tips. https://www.businessinsider.com/math-... https://www.thrillist.com/entertainme...

2 Zoom Virtual Platform Mesa City Council Meetings Mon 04.20.2020: Study Session + Regular Meeting

 
Not much to say to start off, but how about if Hizzoner does he remote transmissions with a different background that's not so "personal"? From the "study session" no one has any comments or requests to hear, discuss or provide guidance on any of the items on the 15 pages of the regular meeting's agenda. However, "the news" is that the federal CARES program have arrived, the tens-of-millions dollar amounts are not disclosed and neither is a plan for the spending. City Manager Chris Brady sent out what he called 'brief statements' a couple of hours earlier.
Here's the screen-grab again of Hizzoner for the regular meeting that lasts more than an hour. . . .Surprise! In the six weeks since Council meetings turned into virtual reality video teleconference, Giles says how the public is permitted to participate
