At the end of the day, the Titanic Missing Billionaire Submarine story is a perfect distillation of 21st Century capitalism: A small group of very rich people assume a clearly irresponsible risk. It goes predictably wrong. Scores more in public resources are used to save them...
Happy 43rd Birthday to Felicia “Snoop” Pearson. Born May 18, 1980 in Baltimore. Her path to appearing on #TheWire began when Michael K. Williams met her at Club One in Baltimore.
‘He called me the next day and said: “Come see me.” I got myself together and went to the set and was just kicking it with him. Then the people from The Wire like Ed Burns and David Simon heard me talking and they came over and started asking me to pronounce words. I didn’t know what it was for. I was kinda nervous. These white people keep asking me questions. I ain’t used to that. White people ask me questions when I’m in trouble. But it turned out for the good.’ -Felicia Pearson 2021 (The Guardian)
