The devil is in the detail when it comes to #international expansion. Are you set up to operate on a global scale? Do you have the people, processes & partners in place?

Donald Trump is the first president since 1892 to have lost the popular vote twice. That highlights both his unpopularity and the advantages his party draws from America's electoral system econ.st/3kfdrte

It’s not uncommon for people to try and tell a friend, family member, or colleague about their intentions in advance.
Recognising how someone might express their feelings is an important part of knowing how to respond. #WSPD2020

The Hut Group confirms offer price of 500p per share ahead of its planned float. Would value the business at £5.4bn - much higher than current market caps of Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asos. Punchy

Heartwarming stat of the day. In its first half, as the pandemic and lockdown bit, Lego donated 250,000 Lego sets 'to children in need of play'.
. @tapairportugal still nothing?! Appreciate there are significant operational issues but this is appalling customer service. #tapair
@tapairportugal I tried a DM regarding not being able to contact anyone regarding refund for a cancelled flight, but it would seem your twitter account is as well manned as your call centre! I would like someone at TAP to contact me and tell me when my refund will be paid.

This thread on #coronavirus and the govt strategy of herd immunity, its nuances and its risks is definitely worth a read.
1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.

Never again call retail staff "unskilled workers". Some of them are counselling worried shoppers, policing hygiene, getting abuse & still coping & working very long hours this week, despite everything. All work is skilled.
