Donald Trump has made it impossible for any sensible person to persevere in the delusion that global business can continue as usual. We should all welcome this, even if we are livid with Trump’s shocking behaviour, decisions and narratives. The global economy will either be rebalanced or it will crash in ways that may make […]

DIE ZEIT: Friedrich Merz hat der israelischen Regierung vorgeworfen, das Leiden der Zivilbevölkerung in Gaza lasse sich »nicht mehr mit einem Kampf gegen den Terrorismus« begründen.

. As Cartwright convincingly argues, although economics produces knowledge, it is only partial — knowledge that is useful in specific contexts but not universally generalizable. Mainstream economics certainly aspires to be an exact science, but if it is to be considered as such, it only applies to the ‘small worlds’ that economists know how to […]

The IXP platform needs volunteer reviewers. We documented how the whole system works - now we need people to use it.

What's ready:

  • Complete platform guide for all user types
  • Company registration and team setup
  • Engagement tracking with case numbers
  • Progress and final reporting process
  • Review workflow for approvals

The platform (drupal-ixp.site) tracks mentorships between companies and new Drupal developers. Everything's documented. We just need reviewers.

What reviewers do:

As a reviewer, you verify completed mentorships. You check that companies trained new developers properly. Your approval triggers their credits.

Takes about 15 minutes per engagement. No special skills needed.

From all of us here at Bank of Money, Happy Pride!

Though if anyone asks, you didn’t hear that from us. We’re straight now.

We know that may come as a surprise after the past ten years of emphasizing all the money we’ve donated to LGBTQIA+ orgs, taking up increasingly more space in the parade with our float, and having the bank’s twitter account flirt with Lil Nas X. But we’d now like to clarify that we’re only into one-man, one-woman stuff.

We will be pulling our Platinum Sponsorship from this year’s Pride weekend. Sure, it’ll cost the festival hundreds of thousands of dollars on short notice, but you wouldn’t want a cishet bank there, would you? We’re cis now too.

Just think of this shift like the morning we change our LinkedIn profile from our rainbow logo back to our regular one. It’s always July 1 now at Bank of Money.
