Good morning and welcome back to

TechCrunch’s Equity Monday

, a brief jumpstart for your week.

This is a messed-up edition, because we are both hosting Equity Monday on Tuesday (because that makes sense) and our normal host Alex Wilhelm is on vacation, leaving (editor’s note: poor and massively underpaid) managing editor Danny Crichton to wake up early on the first day of the workweek to talk to himself in front of a microphone.

Here’s what we (okay I) talked about this morning:

We talked about remote work and an article I wrote called “Work From Home is dead, long live Work From Anywhere
”
Remote worker payroll startup Deel’s A16Z funding round
Facebook’s cost-of-living adjustment controversy
and remote workforce initiatives
An article I wrote on digital nomads a few years back called Digital nomads are hiring and firing their governments
Run The World’s second fundraise in two months
, this time from Founders Fund
The big court decision for Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou
tomorrow, who has been under house arrest in British Columbia since December 2018.
The UK’s reversal of a decision to include Huawei
in its 5G network plans, also referencing Scott Bade’s piece on Huawei and the West
.
And finally, getting ready to chat with Verizon CEO
(and TechCrunch’s ultimate head honcho) Hans Vestberg later today at 2pm EDT / 11am PDT since we can’t get enough about telecommunications.
