So what do the pics tell us about bidens approach . Also coming up, the e. U. Has a flashy new campaign for its cloud infrastructure. But can guy x. Live up to the hype in the tech world, dominated by the u. S. And china . And say good bye bye to breaks your next house could be coming out of a different places. Do you do your business and robots in berlin . Welcome to the program. U. S. President elect joe biden has set out the top team he hopes will help guide the u. S. Economy through the economic recovery, saying he chosen a tested and experienced group of advisors. Among them is janet yellen, who becomes the 1st woman to hold the post of treasury secretary accepting the nomination. The former Federal Reserve chair painted a gloomy picture of the pandemics effect on the u. S. Law. It was Small Business struggling to stay alive or close for good. So many people struggling to put food on the table in pay bills in rent. Its an american tragedy. And its essential that we move with urgent sick in a action will produce a self reinforcing cause. Yet more diffuse station biden also pointed wildly at the deputy treasury secretary, the 1st black person to hold the position for more on the team. Lets bring in quarter on wall street whos obviously not the moment, but now i can see you. Sorry. So just tell us what to bidens picks indicate about his approach for the coming years. Well, sure. I mean, its the most diverse team that washington has ever seen when it comes to is that in the city and also gender, but its not necessarily the most progressive. Janet yellen, herself, is seen as very moderate. She does have a social heart, but she already worked in the Advisory Team of former president bill clinton. So what this team is to deal with 1st of all is to convince Congress Hundreds of billions of dollars for spending and to help the population. And then later on, probably dealing with the debt load to texas will become an issue, but thats not going to be the 1st thing on their agenda.

I would say the company had a stellar quarter revenue up by a biologist, 370 per cent, interested me enough. The stock actually tanked by 15 per cent. A couple of reasons. 1st of all, for the Current Quarter of the xoom only only expects to have a revenue increase of about 330 percent. So that would be less than in the 3rd quarter. And then also more and more lines from the education industry. So from schools from pupil students and they dont pay anything at all or much less than a corporate clients, for example, that seems to be 1. 00 reason why the stock was down and then we shouldnt forget, since the beginning of the year, the stock of zoom increased by almost 700 percent, so its no wonder that we did see some profit taking. So business was very good, but it might be slowing down. But on a very high, elevated, elevated, elevated, sorry, level, thanks for bringing us up to date.
