Daily Reading #7A

The Generalissimo is a slave driver, occupies my mind all the time, so not much reading and commenting today.

I don’t know enough about OathKeepers to be sure, but they have a pretty good rep in the patriot sites I read.

More consequences of a rule-based system that produces obvious injustice. Even worse, Wells took full advantage of the revenue generated by the illegal behavior, which the surely knew about. Why have there not been RICO suits by customers against Wells? :
