Justice for the victims of Epstein

Jeffrey Epstein may have seemed like a charming guy to most people who knew him. As an investment manager, he helped make his clients billions of dollars and they were happy with that. Many of them were also pleased with the so-called entertainment services he provided.Eventually, it all collapsed, though. Reports of him and others exploiting underaged females became too numerous to ignore. When faced with the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison, he committed suicide while in jail in 2019. His estate has been tied up in conflicting lawsuits ever since.

Alan Greenspan was an economic arsonist

Former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan has died at the age of 100. His reputation predeceased him. He headed up the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, the second-longest term of any chairman, and this period coincided with a sustained economic expansion in the US, interrupted only by several mild recessions. The expansion turned out to be the mother of all asset bubbles in housing and stocks which, when popped in 2007, caused the most devastating global financial crisis since the Great Depression.
