"Employees are the new customers. A lot of trends that led to customer centricity are also hitting the labor market and you can almost take the same tricks from employee centricity … Well, you have to personalize as well for the employee. Figure out data, preferences change for customers but those are obviously the same humans, and so on and so forth. And then you talk about what motivates people at work because customer centricity is obviously not lowering the price, it's improving the customer experience. And so, I'm arguing well, that's the same with employee centricity, what makes the employee experience better."

"[For the] Super Bowl [ads] we are talking 7 million [dollars] for 30 seconds, I mean crazy stuff. What's the strategy? Well, you might argue they want to target a customer. Now the customer base is, of course, the mass market, the consumers, it's pretty much everybody watching, at least 50% of the population. So it seems, as a target, a little bit off if you're a B2B company."

"There's a couple of factors that point to the long-term mortgage rates sort of being stickier than one might expect. One of which is that the large buyers of government bonds, namely the Fed, foreign central banks, and the commercial banks in the United States, all three of those are sort of pulling out and have sort of pulled back on how much long-term government bonds they buy. So that means that other buyers, like households or investors that are more price-sensitive, will need to buy these government bonds. And so that means that these bonds will need to have higher interest rates."

"I'm from the school that says hope for the best, plan for the worse. So, I want to know what backups will protect my point of sale capacity when something fails. I want to know that when the underlying system goes down, a customer's transaction can be captured offline and recovered. I want to know that there's uninterruptible power supply [that keeps] stores point of sale equipment alive. Now, you know when this certificate power outage store, I suppose because the lights go out. But if it's a store in a location with a history of power outages, I want to know that there's either a dead set that's installed, or there's multiple feeds to a store."

"It is going to be a major disruption that unfolds over many years, at least 10 years,” Columbia Business School Professor Daniel Keum told Yahoo Finance. “And it'll create losers and winners. But what that exactly looks like, we don't know."
"It would be one thing if younger people could meet these challenges by accumulating wealth like their parents did, but that requires asset prices to fall occasionally. If a once-in-a-century pandemic doesn’t improve affordability, what will?"
"There’s no question that the cost of a house has gone up relative to cost of living overall. More and more, a single-family home has become a luxury good, which has not been the case in the United States until now. It’s a trend that, if it continues, I think will change society substantially."
"The CPI basket and its movements are meant to be broadly indicative of the price experiences of a wide swath of Americans over time."
