On Sept 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve used emergency powers, dormant since the Depression, to hand $85 billion to an insurance company. To understand why, you have to go back to Shanghai in 1919.
This is the story of AIG and what it really means to be "too big to fail".

BREAKING: More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, per WaPo
@HunterBiden@Kenneth_Belkin The New Castle, DE Super 8? I’m from the area, I need to know if the image I have in my head is real 😂 also in recovery here and really respect your courage in speaking honestly about addiction.
Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
House Armed Services Committee REJECTS Ro Khanna’s Amendment to REMOVE Section 224 from the NDAA
I’m sharing the whole clip so you all can see for yourselves that these Israel Lobby bought lawmakers DID NOT LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE DO NOT WANT TIES WITH ISRAEL.
The story about Trump yelling at Netanyahu to stop bombing Lebanon is similar to Reagan telling the PM of Israel to stop bombing Lebanon in 1982.
But at least Reagan called it a holocaust and pointed out a picture of a 7 mo old baby with its arms blown off as the symbol of Israel’s actions.
Trump doesn’t have the courage to do that even though today there are countless pictures and videos of babies and children blown to pieces and dead from Israel’s bombs in Gaza and now Lebanon.
Holocaust? Genocide?
Yes.
Intentional and accurate.
And it seems there is no end in sight no matter how many news stories are planted of the U.S. President yelling at the Israeli Prime Minister.
It’s just a play call used over and over again to once again fool the American people that their leader is being responsible and not cold hearted.
When in reality, every American President and American elected leaders know the bombs keep falling and the killing never ends, while the campaign contribution checks keep getting cashed.
