Kamala Harris Tests Positive for Covid-19 - WSJ

“She has not been a close contact to the president or first lady due to their respective recent travel schedules,” Ms. Allen said.

I bet that’s the reason.

I hate the new WSJ question/answer articles. It’s sloppy and disjointed.

Dress for the home you want, not the home you have.

Mr. Gray said the fees on the account will be between 0.75% and 0.9%, depending on the client, not counting trading costs.

Don’t worry, you’ll still be lining Fidelity’s pockets while you gamble at the table.

She never will.
