The explosive demise of crypto giant FTX, led by billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, may have an outsized impact on politics — snuffing out the wealth of a budding potential Democratic megadonor. Bankman-Fried was the second-largest Democratic donor this election cycle by a longshot, according to the most recently available campaign finance data from the Federal Election Commission, second only to philanthropist George Soros. The only Democratic donor to give more last cycle was philanthropist George Soros, whose $129 million dwarfed Bankman-Fried's. In fact, Bankman-Fried about as much as Democrats this cycle than each of the next-largest Democratic donors combined — Illinois businessman Fred Eychaner and Indiana philanthropist Deborah Simon.

Cheltuielile militare au crescut în 2020, în ciuda pandemiei, ajungând la aproape 2 000 de miliarde de dolariCheltuielile militare globale au continuat să crească în 2020, în pofida pandemiei de COVID-19, ajungând la aproape 2.000 miliarde de dolari, potrivit unui raport al Institutului Internaţional de Cercetare a Păcii din Stockholm (SIPRI) publicat luni. Faptul că au continuat să crească cheltuielile militare într-un an marcat de o încetinire a creşterii economice înseamnă că „povara militară”- ponderea cheltuielilor militare în PIB, a crescut. Diego Lopes da Silva a indicat că noua administraţie Biden „nu a furnizat niciun indiciu că va reduce cheltuielile militare”. Cheltuielile militare ale Chinei, care au crescut constant în ultimii 26 de ani, reflectă creşterea înregistrată de economie. În ceea ce priveşte Franţa, care se clasează pe locul opt, cheltuielile sale militare au crescut cu 2.9 % în 2020, ajungând la 52.7 miliarde de dolari.
