In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Investing in Corruption

Apparently, Sam Bankman-Fried has managed to cause economic woes to those willing to invest in nothing but promises. It looked good, I assume, to those wanting to not only beat inflation, they wanted to cheat the odds and make uncommon profit, when such things are beyond being considered risky. Considering how Fried managed to pay off close scrutiny by buying politicians, it's going to take some time before any real punishment will happen. Meanwhile, he's in the Bahamas, where the U.S. government coming to find you might be a life saving action.

Time will tell how this all works out, but to me, it's just more of the same illegal political money laundering so rampant in politics today. Those that really need to be punished are probably those that will investigate and prosecute  exonerate. It is what it is, and ignoring obvious crime seems to be the current theme of politics.

  2. PT Barnum was correct. There's a sucker born every minute. And many a con artist has gotten rich because of that. This situation is no different. Except it involves the commie left which means we will never no the real truth and many of the people involved will never face justice.....while a few of their comrades have 'tragic accidents'.

    1. It definitely presents a problem for those that don't understand how much it dilutes what little they have.
