I ask, because if you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=MzuxEl4txhXnwsXU&t=214 for instance, which shows an interview on CNBC Television between Squawk Box cohosts Andrew Ross Sorkin and Joe Kernen and their chosen guest, Jeremy Grantham of GMO Asset Management, the timestamped segment I have highlighted indicates, at least according to Joe Kernen, that Jeremy Grantham was invited onto the programme by Andrew.

If we use Squawk Box as one example (although I am sure there are many more), do Andrew Ross Sorkin, Joe Kernen and Becky Quick (the three Squawk Box anchors) have any influence over guest bookings? Is it the case, for instance, that they can suggest guests, but ultimately the producers have final say over who gets booked?

If we focus on the financial TV news networks specifically, who typically invites the guests onto their programmes, the on-air talent or the behind-the-scenes news desk personnel?

To what extent did Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the subsequent / ensuing First Gulf War, contribute to the recession that occurred during Bush's first and only term?

How did the recession start, and how did it propagate? Did the panic start from the demand or supply side? I've been told that in the US, it takes about 24 - 36 months for inflationary pressures to take effect, and I've also read that by observing the bullwhip effect, which is about the pace at which a producer can ramp up or scale back orders in response to changing consumer demand, it can make it easier to distinguish between boom and bust cycles.

With that in mind, to what extent is a recession indicative of changes in aggregate consumer demand, versus supply side bottlenecks, or misaligned economic growth expectations, and how can we use that mindset to understand why there was a recession in the US in 1990 / 1991?

Apologies if it sounds a bit too analytical. I'm from the UK, and find that it can be all too easy to think that Saddam's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 was effectively the death knell for Bush's re-election chances in 1992. Hopefully if there's someone here who either lived through the Reagan and Bush years and can provide detailed commentary on this using both lived and researched experience, or someone who through research can achieve similar commentary, I would be glad to hear from either.

Typically, if you were a BA law graduate in the UK, you would pursue the Legal Practice Course (LPC), whereas if you had an undergraduate degree not in law, you would pursue a postgraduate law conversion course, the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), and then the LPC.

Does a similar pathway exist for university graduates in the UK, whether historically or currently, if your bachelor's degree isn't in education or pedagogy? Or are either the PGCE or PGDE qualifications designed for those studying education / pedagogy as a discipline for the first time in a postgraduate setting?

I understand that the PGDE is a much more demanding course than the PGCE, and as such, offers more credits. Does this mean that entry requirements for the PGDE would be much more rigorous than those of the PGCE? Can I pursue a PGDE without first pursuing a PGCE, is the PGCE open to non graduates or do I need a qualifying undergraduate degree in any subject, where does Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), "fitness to train" requirements fit in to this etc?

And, like how UK lawyers have Post-Qualification Experience (PQE), is there an E+W equivalent like 5 years post-QTS etc?

If you earn within one personal income tax bracket, but then earn enough to push you into the next personal income tax bracket, does the IRS care about concepts like marginal tax rates, or would they just care about your tax liabilities, in particular under- and over-payments?

Is it just the economists, consumer experts, politicians et al who care about these concepts?

I understand that Lesley Curwen, when she was reporting on Enron for the Beeb when the scandal first hit the news, sat in on depositions or hearings when Enron was under federal investigation in 2002 / 2003.

Andrew Ross Sorkin, the CNBC commentator, when he wrote his recent book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History - And How It Shattered a Nation, was granted access, for the first time in its history, "to the confidential board minutes of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York during the most pivotal months of 1929".

Then you will see in papers like CityAM or the Financial Times that they have managed to get a quote from a source / insider within a company.

How does all of this happen, is it sometimes a case of them reaching out to you, is it a case of leveraging your own networks (rather than your employers' or colleagues' networks), do you just cold call etc?

If anyone felt like answering any of the questions below, I would be most appreciative. I feel this would help me greatly.

1. Can you sell shares in your company even if you're only incorporated or registered in one state? So for instance, if you are incorporated in Delaware and don't do business in any other US state.
2. Does your registered company name need to end in a certain suffix, like Inc for Incorporated, or LLC for Limited Liability Corporation, or Corp for Corporation?
3. What does your initial filing look like for the SEC? Do you submit any existing paperwork, such as your Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Formation for your home state, in addition to any forms the SEC sends for you to fill in?
4. Is SEC registration mandatory once you reach a certain threshold, e.g. the value of your company's assets crosses a certain monetary threshold or your number of private investors crosses a certain mark, or is it an opt-in regime?
5. Apologies for the dumb question, but say I am incorporated in the state of Delaware and, let's say for the sake of argument I offer professional services within Delaware only, I would only register with the SEC if I want to sell shares in my company to the public, right?
6. When you become a publicly listed company in the US, to whom do you owe reporting or compliance obligations other than the SEC, to the various Secretary of State offices in the US states in which you are registered / trade? I presume the SEC will only investigate your company if it is in relation to securities fraud, whereas the different states can launch investigations based on your conduct within their state, right?

I'm a native English speaker, but that being said, English is a complex language and I'd like to know more about it.

If I am looking for full remission of tuition fees for an online course in my home country of the UK, for instance, where they offer partial or full discounts for those receiving welfare payments, they may use the conditional sentence "If you are in receipt of certain benefits".

If I am shopping at a supermarket, I can get the machine to print a receipt for me to confirm both my order and that I have successfully paid for it.

If I am talking about revenue earned by the tax authority or by a business, I can talk about it in terms of either tax or company receipts.

How come receipts can be used interchangeably for both what you have paid and for what you are receiving?

Anyone know when we first started building out subsea power transmission networks as opposed to just subsea telecommunications networks? And can subsea telecommunications networks be used for concurrently transmitting power or otherwise repurposed for that?

I believe we have something called Powerline Communications (PLC), where data is sent over AC / DC power transmission cabling. But can those subsea telecoms links be repurposed or re-engineered for sending power?

What's the pitfall of sending both power and data down a single subsea cable? Do both modern subsea power and data cable networks use fibre optic / photons?
