    More than two months into Donald Trump's term, with details of his “Liberation Day” regimen revealed this week, Forbes reached out to 50 top Wall Street leaders, including billionaire investors, major institutional asset managers and the nation's largest wealth advisors, to gauge their support for the president’s economic strategies. The 50 respondents, chosen for their outsized influence, reinforced the recent market tumult. Among these Wall Street heavyweights – more than half of whom supported Trump’s economic policies as he reentered the White House in January – 72% say the Trump team’s economic plan has been ineffective, and 66% did not support his economic policies. Among those who were Trump supporters as recently as a few weeks ago, more than one-third now no longer back his economic policies, and a majority of them—54%—say he is failing in the execution of his plan. https://archive.is/0Md8b

    I got 17 references, many obsolete, two from the two 501(C)3 organizations I started that I need to keep. I requested all the others be deleted. This is pretty cool.

    @CHAS said in The art of too much: Nothing succeeds like excess. Yeah, I took that one as far as it could go. It exceeds, but not succeeds, even if it was often fun along the way.

    The reason these people come in illegally is because the process of getting workers in has to start with the employer specifying the exact individuals they want to hire. It’s ridiculous.

    Kennedy's being blackmail, allegedly. Candace Owens did an hour report on it. Strange politics. His father and uncle must be rolling in their graves.

    Most middle class families in the Mid-century might have been able to afford to set up trust funds but it wasn't in their DNA. My mother told the lawyer who visited her in the hospital when she was dying (paid for by my father and his brother) she wanted $50,000 to go into a trust for her granddaughter's education and she wanted $10,000 to go to her granddaughter's mother for home repairs. My sister told me many people witnessed this but the lawyer claimed these requests were impossible to understand, and after some time, my father convinced her to sign the will his lawyer put in front of her. The tumor attached to her lower spine, the brain cancer, and a single chemotherapy treatment for her brain had her sad and discouraged. In the final analysis, I think she was in too much pain to write the will she would've written it the clock could have been turned back three weeks.

    There is a miniature of the valley where Moab is in the local museum. It is carved from balsa and it is very accurate. It is worth a stop if you go there.

    When I was old enough to be out of the house I was required to pick 70 lbs. of cotton a day. I now know that was not a lot of cotton to pick. It was enough to keep me out of the house and teach me the value of work. It also put a little money in my pocket, which was fun. I still remember the singing of the black people that were picking to feed their families. It was blues and it was beautiful. I

    Ah, but there would be the difference that they would only have permission to draw from the new account. Big distinction.
