It’s like the powerful rich in our country want another catastrophic failure. They never learn.
The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.
Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

I don't usually share GoFundMe's unless I know the person.
In this case, I know the person really well. She needs any help that anyone can spare.
With that said, if you can spare even a dollar that would be amazing.
If you're strapped for cash, please remember that sharing is caring.

Who would buy a Tesla now? Not me.
Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.
American capitalism is off the rails.

What is the non MAGA 2/3 of the country supposed to do with Trumps damn ballroom. It can’t stand as a symbol of our division and despair. He’s building something that has to come down. A monument to one man is not what any of Washington DC is about.

Saturday, some were informed they were RIF'd in error.

It’s an admission of guilt.
Trump act of ordering 8 military jets to perform a low-pass flyover during the Epstein victims' press conference is a DARVO surrogate. It's a form of gaslighting. It's an act of intimidation. It's an admission of guilt.

So both Putin and Trump went to an AF Base in Alaska. Each had a set of demands. Trump accepted all of Putin's demands and then said he would convince Ukraine and Europe to accept them. And both then went home. Do I have this right?
