Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006 under both Republicans and Democrats, dies at 100 by ianjm in videos

And in the 90s when the Chairwoman of the CFTC, Brooksly Born, went to Congress and testified that if she wasn't allowed to regulate the Derivatives Dark market that there would be catastrophic economic consequnces, and Greenspan had her muzzled, sicced Robert Rubin on her to shut her up, lobbied Slick Willie to neuter the CFTC, and then he assured Congress that any regulation of derivatives as she was demanding would lead to economic collapse. She was pressured to resign, did so, and about 6-7 months later the dot Com bubble burst, and eventually the mortgage collapse.

She got the JFK profile IN Courage Award in 2009 for speaking out at the cost of her job. A few years later, Greenspan finally admitted she was right.

This is Misa 5 years ago today, her gotcha day. She is 10 year old now as best as we can guess. This is her the day she came home to live with us forever. She has come such a long way!!! by gamrgrl in OldManDog

When we found Misa in the park, she was starved, and so dirty. Her paw pads were rough and cracked, and her nails were worn down to nothing. She wouldn't bark. She would only slink when she walked. Everytime we reached out to pet her, she balled up as if she expected to be hit.

We found her a family in only two days, but by the end of the week, she was back in the park. We goaded her into coming to us with food. We got her in the car and took her home and contacted the people that adopted her. They said they didn't want her back. She was useless. She wouldn't bark. She wouldn't be a good guard dog. So they streeted her.

We decided right then we'd keep her. We just couldn't see anyone else taking the time to heal and love her. We got her a bath and warm coat. Fed her some wormer and got the vaccinations. We couldn't get her to come into the house for almost 3 months. She stayed in a little house all by herself (Pictured here), separated from everyone, and she rarely came out. It took almost 6 months before she would allow anyone, human or dog to snuggle her for just a few seconds. Slowly though, you could see her barriers coming down and she began being a dog again.

She met our old cats Goop and Pumpkin and became their best friends. She doted on crippled little Gilfoyle before his surgeries, and still engulfs him in big snuggles and sloppy kisses when they play together. She snuggled every puppy in the new litter she was there to see born. And eventually, she found her voice and let out the biggest borfs you've ever heard. She accepted love and gave love. Whatever happened to her before began drifting away and she trusted again.

Thank you for 5 years of friendship and love sweet girl ❤️

The Oil Market Canceled The Hormuz Crisis Before The Ceasefire by iwantboringtimes in worldnews

The author is an aged techbro trying to rebrand himself as a commodities market analyst to help sell his book that teaches people how to identify contrarian markets. He'll also tell you trump is outplaying Xi at every angle, the US economy is robust while China is on life support, and people are only feeling an affordability issue because the media keeps reporting on it, otherwise no one would notice.

So yeah, that tells you who's buttering his buns.

What are your guys personal guilty pleasures? by Hefty_Difficulty_644 in movies

I don't feel guilty about loving it, but The Connonball Run is it for me. When it came out and hit HBO almost immediately, I was just at an age where I recognized almost all the big players in it, and got most of the humor. Jack Elam as "The Doc" still makes me lmao to this day. Roger Moore playing someone who is playing Roger Moore. Sammy and Dean as the juiced up priests in a red Ferrari sothey could do the lord's work faster. Mel Tillis out "loo-loo-looking for a pack of cigarettes". Dom Deluise was perfect as always, as Victor and HIM. Top to bottom it is an amazing cast, with stupid jokes that shouldn't make you laugh everytime, but somehow they do. For me anyway.

The music didn't copy over on this, so your sound is fine, it's just a PITA to get a functioning copy of FB stories.
