Well here we go

IIRC Arnold Toynbee wrote that from his studies, he'd seen that one of the most reliable predictors of a very serious regime failure was a big population of educated, unemployed, angry people with administrative experience.

I think of this as the meat sandwiched between the bun of them tinkering with social security and medicare payments.

I want to tell you a story. I am a boy who, back when I was still earlyng studying at Federico II University, Faculty of Law in Naples, met a man selling watches on a train. It may sound strange, but in Italy, such things happened often in those years. ⤵️

This man told me he was an Argentinian university professor of Buenos Aires, who had fled to Italy because he had Italian ancestors.

He said that what he earned in a single day on a train in Italy during the 1990s was roughly equivalent to his annual salary in Argentina. ⤵️

It’s true: when educated people emigrate because they cannot find opportunities or, worse, are excluded and grow resentful, the society that produced them ultimately suffers. To then collapse. ⛵️

That sure makes sense when you think about it. Let's hope so.

Like this woman. A whole bunch of litigators at CFPB were illegally fired. Their jobs were fighting for people who had been screwed over and getting them their money back.

Hickman says, they "picked the wrong bunch of lawyers to mess with."
