Bobstandard's JournalBoulder: I know only two things..
When my wife told me that there had been a mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, a place where we lived once long ago, I knew that gun violence tragedy had struck again. When she told me that the gunman had been taken alive, I knew he was white.
She got mad at me a week ago when she told me about the Atlanta Asian hate crime murders. She said that the shooter had been taken alive, and I said, “he’s a white guy, right?”
“You don’t know that,” she said. “Why would you say that?”
I’m a white guy. She’s a white woman. She believes, way more than me, that people are are the same where ever you go, whatever their color, creed, lived experience. (Yup. Acknowledged. The definition of white privilege). We’ve lived in a lot of places and traveled to many more where meeting the people on the way make it seem that she’s right. But we’re in gun happy America. I’m so sorry that she’s again confronted with the truth that she’s wrong.
Wells Fargo sucks!
Wells Fargo not only waited until the 17th to release the ARP money they were to distribute (so they could make money on the “float”, of course), but they have also placed a hold on it. Seriously. The money is there, but it’s shown as a “pending” transaction. Presumably they’ll release it at midnight. But who knows?
You know that if my account was down to zero and I wrote a check against it that they were able to process today, they’d charge me an overdraft fee. I wonder how many folks this will happen to.
One thing I do know is that Wells Fargo, a corporate entity that has paid millions and millions in fines for fraud on an epic scale, has never had an executive go to jail for any of their malfeasance. They’re a “person” for political donation purposes, but otherwise,., they’re a chimera.
Wells Fargo sucks.
