Easy credit, opaque and hyped up financial instruments, defanged regulators, atop an economy still recovering from a pandemic…

My goodness! 2028 is going to be spicy

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.
