  • Wells Fargo breaks the law again and no one goes to prison

    Wells Fargo breaks the law again and no one goes to prison

    Years ago Wells Fargo settled with the SEC to the tune of $3 billion dollars stemming from a scandal where for nearly 18 years the bank opened fake accounts in customer’s names. The Justice Department did not send anyone to jail for that. As part of the settlement, Wells Fargo admitted that it “unlawfully misused…

    Governor DeSantis is providing a blueprint for Republicans

    The numbers in Florida don’t lie. Will the Republican Party pay attention and take note? I doubt it. Here in Georgia, even though the state is still controlled by Republicans, I can feel a shift in political sentiment here.

  • Retail sales at U.S. stores declined 0.6% in November WITHOUT adjusting for inflation

    Retail sales at U.S. stores declined 0.6% in November WITHOUT adjusting for inflation

    In October retail sales in the U.S. rose 1.3% and in November sales declined by 0.6%. Neither measure is adjusted for inflation which is over 7% for each month. Let’s forget for the moment inflation is no longer calculated to include the things you need to survive, like food and gasoline. October and November are…
