True, that revolving door [FDA, CDC, NIH, ... and Big Pharma] does indeed exist.

But the biggest revolving door of all is the one in banking - where else? Under Trump, Master Criminal Steve Mnuchin, once a high-level executive at Goldman Sachs, became Treasury Secretary. Talk about letting a fox into the hen house! Then, under Biden, Janet Yellen went from heading the Federal Reserve to Treasury Secretary. In both cases, high-ranking criminals in PRIVATE banking were given the keys to the inner sanctum of the United States economy. It's no mystery (not to me!) why our country's finances are a disaster, namely, crooks have been put in charge of the money!! Listen, NOBODY can be that STUPID. This is by design - well coordinated and orchestrated. And, yes, Trump played his part.

Jorge, some of what you raise here is very true...I too was staggered that Yellen got that post, that was pure pay to paly conflict...I also agree as to Steve Mnuchin...there are so many we can add to the list...and if you notice in my writing I am saying we must end, immediate this situation of nepotism and buddy getting plum jobs and kick backs and the bogus contracts etc. for this is what it is...one big piggy bank cabal of high crime bandits stealing from us...

the issue is we want things fixed, many of us, but we can jail and go after him and her as long as not my buddy...as long as not someone I 'like' and thats the bullshit...we are at a place where our line of morality is shifting based on buddies. and that is why we are fucked.

I like this statement : It's no mystery (not to me!) why our country's finances are a disaster, namely, crooks have been put in charge of the money!!

Hmm, you wrote, "... some of what you say here is very true." SOME???

Please tell me, what part of what I wrote is NOT true? I want a chance to either defend or to correct what I wrote. I am confident that it is ALL demonstrably true. For instance:

Mnuchin, you may already know, had a very long history of crimes (in the same vein as Jamie Dimon) when Trump appointed him to be US Treasury Secretary. I gasped in horror upon hearing of that appointment! In the old days Mnuchin would have been strung up by the thousands of families that he made homeless through legalese sleigh of hand.

Are you serious?
