Keep writing to keep exposing truths which otherwise would remain underreported. And with corporate crimes such as Boeing’s buy off of the tramp regime to reduce its fines never fail to point out examples of this corruption.
You refresh the thought Honore de Balzac wrote, "Behind every great fortune there is a crime." Collectively, we need the lessons. Personally, it reminds me to follow my thoughts and the thoughts of those whom have earned my trust - not United Health Care, Boeing, Amazon, Meta, Goldman Sachs, Walmart, most Senators and Representatives, and the many you have reported. There are very few media sources who I financially support. I'm proud that you are one of them. You, sir, are on mission.
As societies age, they become increasingly immoral and decadent. The United states is not immune to the cycle. In order to restore an honest and god-fearing community, there must be a lengthy and very painful period of mass suffering similar to the great depression. Thinking the government will ever make things better is a fool's errand.
The bigger the government, the smaller the individual. The vast majority of socialists are lazy and godless. At least Al is not lazy.
Calling me a socialist only shows that you really don’t understand the world as well as you think you do, Richard. Please tell me you’re not one of these dupes who believes that anyone even remotely critical of our felon in chief is a socialist.
Al: shhhhhh! Don't explain crypto, based on block-chain, the best forensic tool ever devised (like a digital "chain of evidence" from origin to wherever it ends up) for law enforcement and other research requiring a means of tracking! The crypto bros are all convinced it's "off-the-grid" (how, when it's digital, requiring a path and the use of internet protocols, is another question), can't be tracked, can't be traced, and REAL (only if anyone agrees to give you the cash 'value' for it. "I'lll give you a hundred bucks for a Blundercoin..." (Done. You now have a Blundercoin worth $100. To you.) I have watched with glee after first having it explained to me in its early stages all the 'criminals,' like the idiots behind 'ransomware' wanting payment in crypto, as if block-chain isn't the blue dye bag of old used to catch robbers...if the FDA wants to trace e.coli to the specific plant and picker it came from, one of it's many uses, block-chain is the answer.
I do not recall you spewing the same amount of vitriol towards Joe Biden. What will be remembered for generations is that Trump destroyed the Republican party and the Democrat party. That alone should get him on Mt. Rushmore.
It is easy to hate DJT. To expect a politician not to be a narcissist is the ultimate in naivete. He is a realtor. What do you expect from a realtor? Every realtor I have ever met would sell their mother to do a deal.
I have dealt with thousands of clients over 40 years of practicing law. I have a pretty good handle on human nature and how the world works. I have also voraciously read history. All of the folks I know with TDS are rabid socialists. Maybe you break the mold. We will have to go out to lunch again before I make up my mind.
TDS? Richard, really? Now I'm not just a socialist but I have TDS? You're embarrassing me with your borrowed far-right talking points. Didn't they teach you how to form original arguments in law school? Are you getting memos from the White House every morning on what to say?
I rarely wrote about Biden because I was ... um ... unemployed through most of the Biden administration, and when I was working, it wasn't as a columnist with an opinion.
Besides, Biden is not a convicted white-collar felon, didn't invite George Soros to run something like DOGE, didn't unilaterally declare, undeclare, and then redeclare tariffs, etc. Biden didn't run dozens of scams like Trump University and kitschy offerings like Trump Shoes and Trump Bibles.
Let's face it. Trump is a much better topic for Business Blunders than Biden. His whole life is a series of business blunders, but he's a genius at failing up and getting suckers to believe in him.
By the way, I wasn't happy in January when Biden pardoned a bunch of Ponzi schemers, and I at least called attention to that. Of course, all presidents love Ponzi schemers, but Biden holds the record on letting them loose.
For the record, I've always supported democracy, freedom of the press, and free-market capitalism – just not so free that capitalists can steal and abuse people without consequences.
Also, I don't have to prove to you that I am not a socialist. You have to prove to me that you are not a sucker.

Thanks, Lee. It's nice to know some readers care about these stories. Many would rather read about 'How to get rich.'
As sad and depressing as it all is, please don't stop writing about it. We need an informed electorate.

Thanks, Tim. That's of course, one of my favorite quotes.
Appreciate your support very much.

It's horrible and depressing. And keeps happening...

Blundercoin! What a genius idea. Gotta be funnier than Dogecoin.

Tell me five things you don't like about Trump.
