The chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Ken Buck, draws an inaccurate parallel between feared Marxist regimes and Gov. Jared Polis’ actions to carefully preserve public health and production at the same time.

Žebříček nejlepších spořicích účtů se totálně proměnil, sazby padají

Kvůli koronavirové pandemii lze očekávat silnou recesi. Česká národní banka proto v březnu dvakrát snížila základní úrokovou sazbu z 2,25 procenta na jedno procento. Některé banky na to už zareagovaly razantním snižováním úrokových sazeb na spořicích účtech, což zamíchalo žebříčkem nejlepších spořicích účtů.
