Today's Must-Reads - 23 April 2022
A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles
I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.
Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found today. Today, this is for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future. Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.
