Prohibition wasn't about the temperance movement. That was Henry Ford and JP Morgan barring ethanol. Petroleum is heavy sludge its only after a great deal of processing that you get gasoline. A half acre of reed, hemp, and such grass you can make enough ethanol for a average family car to last a year. Petroleum is used in plastic, medicine. If the average family starting growing thier own fuel, including burning it to make electricity then his monopoly of Standard oil would be in jeopardy. Same with outlawing hemp. Marijuana was the excuse. Pharmaceuticals, ethanol, plastics.

I was a really, really big crack in the sidewalk in the middle of time square during the great depression. It was extra lucky because people didn't have a lot of money at that time, and a crack big enough to fit a billion dollars in would be a very, very big crack, so lucky nobody else found it before lucky did. It was the day before he got stabbed, so I can see why people still get confused and believe that's why he was called lucky.

Great piece. I'm on half way but although Charlie had to (politically) leave US, he died from natural causes in Italy when he was only 62... Running to catch a plane. However what ever they did, once US government saw how much "free" money flies around they built the biggest Army in the World and now they own it... Besides Charlie and meanest Jew M. Lansky who knew how to behave think while most other Italian mobsters (not all) were just bag man. Hahahaha, FBI had nothing or very little about Charlie. However they knew what brand of hair gel Dr. Martin Luther King used. And how to kill him. Plus he was a drag queen. So funny to watch these old shows knowing if Republicans get their way, we will watch only this version again. that is a reason they burn the books, mostly history books.

How Many ppl have they killed during 20 years in Afghanistan and Iraq and then just left them to kill each other. They left Ukraine now regardless of today's vote for $63B that will arrive who knows when and how many Ukrainian soldiers had to die while they drank mojitos. or how many Palestinians die every day. Or when they destroyed entire elected regimes in Latin and South America and put some hard right winger Nazi generals who had the same thinking as Ronald Reagan. Oh, don't worry. Democrats are the same because if they had no MONEY from all the lobbyists they would change that loooong time ago. And these young politicians have mouth to scold people who want at minimum for their kids better life in US. It is their fault they are so extremely poor. Also just to be frank, I don't know what would be the best solution... but I remembered something Israeli general said at the beginning of the wa...genocide. Journalist asks him how could they drop the bomb on a refugee camp - and he says " well after FIRST DAY EVER OF WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE`if there is somewhere mixed with civilians Hamas high ranking member (I think any but just my opinion) we can drop the bomb without regard of the number of civilians, women and/or children. we must defend ourself"....now Journalist ask another question - "if you find the General of Hamas hidden somewhere in Israeli hospital incognito and you must kill him because it would be very hard to find him later.. would you drop the bomb on hospital in Israel and killed ...any ... number of civilians?? - General said - "no, never"

He was still probably rich compared to the average man.
