Amazon had a comfortable 2-1 edge in early counting - NYTimes and WSJ and Bloomberg and TechCrunch

Fed Chair Powell dipped his toe in epidemiological waters on Thursday, highlighting the “economic importance of controlling the coronavirus pandemic by getting the world vaccinated.” Speaking at an IMF conference, Powell stressed that until “the world, really, is vaccinated, we’re all going to be at risk of new mutations and we won’t be able to really resume activity with confidence all around the world” - NYTimes and Bloomberg
The recent double-whammy of Greensill and Archegos implosions are forcing Credit Suisse to examine how, after “years of beefing up compliance and risk” departments and spending, the bank managed to again look “the other way when warning signs argued for pulling back on lucrative corners of its business” - WSJ
Masa Son’s SoftBank empire is adding mortgage startup Better to its fold thanks to a $500M investment that values the company at $6 billion - WSJ
The Upshot on how, in the course of a year, we’ve swung from an “epic collapse of demand” to the current supply problems that threaten to slow a rapidly improving economy - NYTimes
Small music venues hoping to capitalize on $16 billion of relief funds aimed squarely at alleviating their pandemic-induced struggles faced a frustrating series of technical glitches that kept them from securing a spot in line—an especially bad outcome “because the funds are to be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis” - NYTimes
And finally, in a big flex of my Midwestern Dad status, please enjoy this favorable review of Toyota’s Sienna minivan redesign. Because I genuinely did - WSJ
