I know that no one in leadership at the FBI under Patel would watch Frontline on PBS - but if they did: the new episode covering on-line scammers is Excellent! It’s an enormous problem and law enforcement is failing.

US consumer confidence plunged to 81.9 in September, its lowest level since 2014. My take is that spending remains resilient, but consumers increasingly dislike the economy they’re spending in. Whether behavior eventually follows confidence lower is the number to watch. #econsky lnkd.in/p/g7zA-9rY

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
