Bloomberg - Evening Briefing - Rich enough to retire

President Joe Biden’s election has done little to slow the inexorable surge of wealth among U.S. billionaires. In his first 100 days in office, amid the drumbeat of calls for the rich to pay more in taxes after decades of tax cuts, the 100 wealthiest Americans added a combined $195 billion to their fortunes, according to a Bloomberg analysisDavid E.

Here are today’s top stories 

U.S. personal incomes soared in March by the most in monthly records back to 1946, powered by a third round of pandemic-relief checks that also sparked a sharp gain in spending

The market rally that seems never-ending is spurring investors to seek out weirder, real-time data to get ahead of the curve. Things like amusement park ticket sales, business-class plane reservations and even drive-thru traffic at McDonald’s

Europe’s botched vaccination rollout just might be coming to an end. In the U.S., Biden banned most travelers from India beginning Tuesday as that nation struggles to combat the worst surge of coronavirus cases in the world. Inside the U.S., passengers on airplanes, buses and railroads will have to keep wearing masks. Here is the latest on the pandemic.

Come Inside the QAnon of Architecture

On YouTube videos and Reddit boards, adherents of a bizarre conspiracy theory argue that everything you know about the history of architecture is wrong. Sound familiar?

Believers in the “Tartaria” conspiracy theory are convinced that fairgrounds built for events like the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915 were actually the ancient capital cities of a fictional empire.
