It looks like a badly designed escape room where the flimsy backstory is about the dead heir to a 19th century railroad fortune who rigged up a series of puzzles where the answer is always “oh ho ho ANOTHER golden key??”

In Evil Geniuses I explain how big business and the rich since 1980 have used complex, obscure tax and other systemic changes to keep making the rich richer and our economy more and more unfair and unaffordable to most Americans.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

George Santos, a former U.S. House member expelled for lying about his background, had his prison sentence commuted by President Trump.
His commutation comes less than three months into a seven-year sentence.
