Here is an interesting read. Don't assume it is pro bank/business because it is Forbes. It is not.

I hope you sitting down but we may have some agreement here. If these banks are too big to fail, they're too big to exist.

Wild. I need to dig more into what he's talking about with the 'trillions for bailout' stuff, but a whole lot of what he says corresponds to what I basically believe about things.

Focusing particularly on the "21st Century Style," Texas Governor Abbott tweeted with his foot in his mouth. After the Astros had taken a four run lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, he tweeted congratulations to the Astros for winning the AL Division Series. Problem was that the Royals scored five runs in the top of the eighth and won the game. It appears that Texas Governors like to say "oops." Maybe he was distracted by the invading federal troops.

Regards,

D-Ray

Sigh. Large admixture of bullshit in Forbes piece. I hate writers who do that.

Agree, they should dump Trump. Were I in the cast, I'd boycott the show with him on, at least.
