Interesting though that the Twitter share in response apparently surged up almost 10%, isn't it? Either shareholders thinking that a big marketing person has just entered the board of directors, or believing that lots other people will now want to buy Twitter shares.

Anyway, I am by all means suprised....

Too many unheard stories out there.. thanks for sharing!

So Mr Long happened to be governor in the aftermath of the 1929 financial crisis, correct? I am aware that the US had major welfare reforms at the time, to cope with the crisis consequences. Does this suggest Mr Long had a major impact on the development of these?
