Check out the recent clip of Bessent and Bernie Sanders for a sad chuckle. I'm not sure about Bessent's great intelligence, or at least his emotional intelligence/awareness. He generally stammers and looks confused, as if he applied (and was accepted) for a much different job than the one he has. I wonder why he would put himself through this? There are SO MANY worthwhile tasks to accomplish in this world. And he chooses shilling for the rich? HE'S RICH ALREADY :).

As a child of the Gulf (of Mexico) South; born in 1957, I have lived my entire life in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. For my family, the Depression really didn’t end until the 1960’s when industrialization came to the South. I am a White guy. For many of my Black neighbors, the Depression is perhaps only a generation away.

Keep up the thought provoking writing. I thank you.

My grandmother used to save and reuse the tinsel for the Christmas tree every year.

Thelonius Sphere Monk is one of my favorite Jazz performers. I subscribe to Apple Music and it has selections for any type music one could ever want. It also allows you to make playlists and Thelonius Monk is prominent in my "Jazz" Collection.
