This is the new political message that we are getting from all of these tech juggernauts after this digital dominance of this pandemic. Francine i understand this would be a way of competing with walmart, which is doing pretty good. The warehouse would be closer to you in certain neighborhoods, so they could deliver on this oneday pledge. We are all used to getting our packages pretty fast and get upset if we dont, so it is a race to get to the consumer as quickly as possible. Francine it is a jampacked day, futures up 17.

It does not seem like they are expecting a lot on that yield curve control, but that is definitely a market waiting and watching to see if we will get anything there. David thank you so very much. That is kailey leinz reporting on the markets. Toda
