After a busy week of press conferences, scenario analysis, opinion shouting, and more, we’re taking the weekend off. There might be some stuff you haven’t caught up on, so I’m posting it all again below.
I can’t promise I’ll get through all of the comments, but if there are any specific questions/angles/scenarios you want to see covered in the coming weeks, drop a note there @ me on Twitter and we’ll try to do our best.
Also, feel free to just discuss/debate whatever. There’s a ton to talk about. Have a great weekend, everyone.
