19. damn, another bubble burst

I was thinking we might have someone of character here.

Instead, it's the usual "all about money."

Which in a way I can't blame her: she didn't murder George Floyd. But she damn well knew she was living with a monster who had 18 complaints against him.

Should she suffer financially? I think maybe she should. She could have made that decision long ago.

But I really don't now the inside story so I guess I should just shut up already.
