#bridgewater — Public Fediverse posts

We often visit our granddaughter who lives with her Mum in Sale and stay for a few days in a cottage that was probably built in the 1770s and sits on the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal at Preston Brook. The building of the Bridgewater Canal kick-started the Industrial Revolution and the cottage was built at what was to become its junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal. There's a whole lot of history there which I'm beginning uncover in this article.

We're currently in #Cheshire in our #cottage fronting the #Bridgewater #Canal
Just decided I needed a photograph to prove it when nb Vulcan passed by. Given the number of solar panels I thought it might be a #liveaboard but a few moments research revealed this website:
https://www.vulcanowners.co.uk/
which revealed it used to belong to the Challenger fleet. I recall the days when they were rivals to OwnerShips. Both companies RRare now defunct.

We'd emailed the wonderful Liam of https://www.midlandsandcoast.co.uk/ to try to sort out a #coal delivery to #ourplace which fronts the #towpath of the #Bridgewater #Canal. I took a photo of his #boat last time we got #fuel from him. It's based the same distance on one side of #PrestonBrook #bridge as we are the other. This time I needed an emergency supply. He gave me a bag, lent me a barrow to carry it home and said he'd invoice me when he delivered all we have room to store.

As I collected the fuel the sun came out to reveal The Midlands & Coast Canal Carriers Ltd yard in all its glory.

Republican Senate candidate’s hedge fund managed $415m in Russian debt

#David #McCormick, the Republican candidate for US Senate in #Pennsylvania,
led the largest hedge fund in the world while it managed and advised funds holding hundreds of millions of dollars in Russian debt,
documents obtained by the Guardian show.

Filings with the US Department of Labor, known as "form 5500s", show that ⚠️from 2017 to 2021, #Bridgewater #Associates managed funds holding as much as $415m in Russian sovereign bonds.

Since 2019 👉these types of investment have been subject to increasingly stringent US #sanctions, in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Holding such assets is not illegal, but ♦️the question of McCormick’s work with foreign investments and how it might influence his political career has already coloured his current campaign, against the incumbent Democratic senator, #Bob #Casey.

McCormick stepped down as Bridgewater CEO in 2022, in order to run for Congress and a month before Russia mounted a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

But sanctions were first levied three years before that when, according to the firm itself, as co-CEO from 2017 to 2020 and then as sole CEO, McCormick was responsible for “overseeing the firm’s strategy, governance, and operations”.

McCormick himself has saidabout his time as Bridgewater boss: “Whatever we did I’m responsible for.”

so this eagle wants an eagle! Not another bird, though a birdie would be almost as nice.

Just a little golf humor!
