Random Friday history thread.

Today’s thread starts with a question: who is JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, named after?
You likely know the first person: John Pierpont Morgan Sr.

Banker to many of the U.S.’s greatest industrialists and inventors, including Thomas Edison. Savior of the American economy during the Panic of 1907.
But where does the ‘Chase’ in JPMorgan Chase come from?

Follow me down the rabbit hole:

It comes from Chase Manhattan Bank, which JPMorgan merged with in 2000.

Chase Manhattan was formed by the merger of the Chase National Bank and The Manhattan Company in 1955.

Here’s a secret about campaigns:

In the months ahead, we’ll have a nominee. By then, that campaign will have in it the senior leadership of the campaigns of Warren, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, etc.

Biden and Sanders right now are scrambling to bring Warren people on first...
For a moment, it’s a weird marriage as you welcome your counterpart whom you’ve been competing against (like when the Klingons joined the Federation...apologies to fans if I got that example incorrect). That disappears quickly and you start to become family and to work ahead...
Warren’s people (and others) will be shaping policy for the nominee. Warren (and others) will as well.

There will be daily calls, lots of meetings, former candidates traveling for and with whomever is the nominee. They’ll be pressing them, molding them, shaping them positively.
