What I am watching today = January 4, 2021
1. Britain braces for not-so-special relationship with Biden
Boris Johnson is unlikely to seal a trade deal with the US in 2021.
2. COVID and the Taylor Swift Index (TSI)
I'm launching the Taylor Swift Index (TSI) to measure a return to normal.
When Taylor Swift goes on a US stadium tour, then you know there has been a return to normal.
Consider it takes a year to plan such a tour and the 2020 planned tour is TBA for 2021, so 2022 at the earliest.
3. Catholics rise to prominence in Congress
Roll Call reports, Catholics will hold 29 percent of the seats in the 117th Congress, not to mention the speakership and the presidency.
4. MGM bids to buy Ladbrokes
The US sports betting market alone is expected to quintuple in size to $8.4 billion by 2024.
5. Solskj?r’s spirit of unity is building real momentum at Manchester United
The pieces of the puzzle are coming together and fans are beginning to believe a first title win since 2013 is a genuine possibility.
