This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

The greatest comedies can transcend laughter. They can move you from joy to sorrow in a single breath, and in doing so, reveal truths that even the gravest drama struggles to touch.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

NVIDIA has a market cap of $5 TRILLION.

Kindly advise when you will be able to get the new ref QT over to us.”
