What's the best way to rob a bank? 1. Embezzle millions 2. Raise interest rates so your customers will default on your loans. 3. Write off millions to match what was embezzled.
How many banks wrote off how many billions? Did that money just vanish into thin air, or did it ever exist? Follow the money. This is the biggest scandal of all time, and nobody sees it. Houdini couldn't have done any better.
I was born in Philadelphia, then went on to live (chronologically) in Seattle, Virginia, Maryland, Montana, Alaska, New Orleans, Alabama, Oakland, Minnesota, Texas, and Washington state.
I lived in Alaska when it became the 49th state; I lived in New Orleans when the school districts demanded we have blood tests to prove we were white; I lived in Alabama when schools were "integrated" one black student per classroom, then went to Westlake Junior High in Oakland where I was a minority. What an adjustment!
My life is an exploration of the universe. I'm hoping a grandchild will take me there.
