caroline: caroline: talk to us about the alternative coins.they diversifying outside of bitcoin? >> i would say the majority of our institutional clients no longer just hold bitcoin and etherium. eight months ago, it stood strong. at this point, i would say the narrative is around multi-chain. people are looking at other chains that have p/e ratio, adoption. thinking through these different applications that have adoption and user numbers to measure against. >> as we unfold into 2022, is it the current institutional players will just go deeper, bigger, further amounts in terms of allocation toward that space? or are you looking for former players to come in? >> at this point, the biggest narrative is thinking about diversification against inflation. if you look at the u.s. dollar, roughly 40% of u.s. dollars that ever entered circulation have entered since the beginning of 2020. investors have top of mind how do i diversify against that? do your point, 100% i think we have seen our institutional client base, the types of institutions that we a

caroline: i'm caroline hyde. it was another day of angst in the market. yields falling as stocks hold off. investors concerned about the variant, the recovery parts of the economy. we take a look at the people who are working in and thriving in this new normal created by the pandemic. it is our annual look at those in business, entertainment, politics, technology that deserve recognition. jack dorsey not himself on the list this year, but he did buy a company that made the list. dorsey making headlines right now. romaine: the two founders of after pay on the list. dorsey stepping down as twitter ceo. square making news. it will be called block. the company changing its name. it says it will maintain some of the brand names it has, including the square brand name and cash app business name. it will change the name of its crypto initiative. that will be called spiral. it will keep its ticker for now , sq. these changes will go on and around december 10. i wonder what block could be referring to.

i should also introduce caroline hyde out of london. caroline, some technical difficulties. some of the studies around omicron pouring in particularly in london. caroline: i missed all your best jokes, but it is not a joking matter right now. we are seeing the effectiveness of the pfizer vaccine put to the test and it comes to omicron. there is not as much efficiency when it comes to hospitalization. 70% are protected from hospitalization on two shots, but that used to be 80%, 90%. you seeing lines out side many a pharmacy in london, trying to get that booster. jonathan: central bank decision is over tomorrow, maybe the bank of england on thursday. is the pandemic over? i do not know. lisa: it is going to stretch out. some key information will be important. the minari data out of south africa does suggest that perhaps there is a lesson uriel and aspect to this variant of much does that cover the market view of the pandemic? that will be an important event. jonathan: markey, the disconnect between inflation and what we are seeing -- 143.60 on tents. >> it seems to me that the

caroline: i'm caroline hyde. today we are focused on retail. at the start of the pandemic, the industry shut its doors. it was supposed to be the information he businesses, but today we will discuss how it might've been the best thing to happen too many companies. consumers are spending, companies reshape themselves. when you look at industry change, things have accelerated for the retail sector. taylor: investment in retail spaces, listen to this analysis on what it took to get them through the covid pandemic. >> the pandemic shock to the global economy disrupted every sector business, but it was a severe low to retail that is now proving to have the most transformational industry effect. >> it's like 9/11, it's a hurricane. >> in early 2020, physical stores close their doors. what was supposed to a temporary sacrifice turned into more than a year long struggle to remain vital. the struggle was insurmountable for some regional chains and many of the mom-and-pop stores seemingly disappeared overnight. the but changes increasingly being seen as

caroline: talk to us about the biases.is interesting regulators seem to be saying -- seem to be signaling they prefer pfizer's pill. >> the fda did not say they preferred one or the other. we really are confident to be an important tool for patients in the fight against covid-19. it is a medicine that will be administered within five days of symptom onset. it can be taken at home. one does not have to worry about what other medications you're taking or if you have things like kidney disease, which is an issue common in people at risk for covid-19. i think it is important to have these very tools. it is going to be very important. sonali: france for example had scrapped of their order for the antiviral pill and has been looking to pfizer. what kind of conversations are you having in terms of the availability in other countries and what patients would be most suited for this pill? >> in the united kingdom, there have been requests for more supply. we have had agreements with several countries in europe and around the world.

caroline: with the tilt from the u.s. taking on inflation, does any of that change the rhetoric we get out of joe manchin? he was very much focusing on the price pressure for the consumer. mario: in some ways, it reaffirms senator manchin's concerns. he had been arguing for months that inflation would rise, he had concerns about the spending package. and when the fed comes out yesterday, hawkish or dovish, essentially in inflation fighting mode, that reaffirms joe manchin's stance. lisa: every morning i wait for an email from our desk looking at the calendar for the president, and every day i am surprised at what is on it because it seems a little bit outside of the conversation that is being adam washington, d.c.. today it actually has to do with the pandemic, and that is where i want to go as we head into the final months and after we saw the thanksgiving surge and deal with omicron, how much is he going to act at a time when this is incredibly socially unpopular and people are exhausted from the pandemic? mario: this i

caroline: good morning to you. am interested in how much you feel the administration will try to get a grip in and of itself on inflation, whether they are going to try to control the narrative. you read about when jay powell was going to be renominated, and that it is to them that the at ministries and looks to take away inflation. isaac: i think the white house is going to continue to drive headlines. i think there will be focus on supply chains and we will continue to see some of these investigations and supply chains continue as well. there really isn't that much that i think the white house will alter in its actual policy. they renominated jay powell for a reason. i think in the next few days they are going to nominate three new governors to the federal reserve board. i think those are going to skew towards the progressive and more dovish side of the ideological spectrum. i think ultimately, there a hope within the white house that the supply chain issues being resolved over the medium-term are going to help w

caroline, it is september of 2021, and they were is undoing.e in the united states or people around the world are watching something happen. they are watching how a war ends. if nothing else, i think they are understanding that this is a complicated, heartbreaking thing to happen. wars don't just and. they don't just bring down the curtain and everything is fine. so i think your story that you are telling of a war is a story about how wars and. the story of how wars and. it doesn't mean the troubles that you talk about our over. so why it does the end of the civil war interest you so much? >> i think you talked on several important things there. one of the things being that we -- it hasn't clearly ended yet. and that was absolutely the case for american white, black, north, south, loyal, disloyal, however you choose to describe them in 1865. it was not quite clear just what it would mean to end a war militarily, socially, legally, all of these questions were very much up in the air. there is a reason that there is a s in the title. i don't thin

caroline started discovering dead road enters thrown -- rodenters thrown in her driveway. and then came the final straw, caroline heard someone sneak on to her property and opened the door to her laundry room. she resigned from the district school board in october. in describing her decision to one news outlet she said, quote, i had to put the safety of myself and my family first and she said, even though i've resigned, i'm still receiving the threats. caroline is far from the only school official who feared for her safety in recent months. i commend her situation to my republican colleagues who were so critical of the attorney general for even raising the possibility of violence against school board members. all throughout the country school board members, teachers, and other officials have reported harassment, intimidation, even assaults. in pennsylvania, one school board president received a deluge of threatening e-mails, voice mails, social media posts because of the district's covid policies. some of the messages threatened her life while others threatened to share he
