The only thing I would add to this is that these companies WANT this to happen.
They know that the banks will be bailed out.
And when bubbles burst, it's an opportunity. The opportunity to scramble.

Why say “Medicaid reforms” when trying to kick people off of Medicaid?
To understand, @bychrisvazquez turned to an unlikely source: his high school English notes on ‘Language in Thought and Action’ by S.I. Hayakawa. The book can help answer: Why do politicians sound like that?

Just watched DC's Blue Beetle film. I really liked it. I don't know what anyone was complaining about.
This was a solid flick.
It gave us a good origin where the theme of family was woven throughout the entire story.
All we were missing was a cameo from Ted Kord. His gear was awesome!

The very worst kind of meat pie. Flavorless, bland, barely edible unless it is all you have ever known.
To anyone who has eaten a true meat pie, with savory fillings, high quality meat, and a magnificent crust, a hot pocket is like finding a meat pie trapped in the sofa cushions for a month.

“Donald Trump is so incompetent he could bankrupt a lemonade stand during a heatwave.”
Trump's an entropic sink hole. The more he makes, the less he has and the more he wastes. Not content with losing, he entices every fool within earshot, each losing more than they have and more than they expect.

RFK Jr. often appears physically distended, as if he were perpetually out of breath and heaving from “picking up roadkill [his] whole life.” He works out shirtless in jeans. His own family calls him a “predator.”
So how do prominent women—Olivia Nuzzi and Cheryl Hines—desire him?
