NY Mayor Bill de Blasio authorized gifts for Rikers Island departing inmates, including $25 debit cards, Mets tickets, free transit passes, movie tickets, and various gift cards. As many as 15,000 inmates are expected to rake in the prizes.

ZeroHedge says that the top 0.001% are cashing out and hoarding their US Dollars in secret vaults as central banks do everything in their power to replace physical currency with credit and debit-card accounts that can be accessed by banks without permission of depositors.

The case centered on the trafficking and exploitation of more than 160 children, in which the ringleaders were accused of forcing minors to beg and steal for the gang across Europe.

Some of the spending included: $466,991 on studying frog mating calls in Panama, $1.2-million on the studying habits of online dating app users, tens of millions spent ‘green growth' for Peru, $22-million spent on bringing Serbian cheese up to international standards, and more.

Ever since the arrival of leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin on the monetary scene over a decade ago, financial experts have speculated whether this new virtual currency might one day supplant the primacy of nationally-issued sovereign money. Due to the transformative power of its distributed ledger, or “blockchain” technology, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have been able to bypass the US dollar-dominated central banking and credit system by providing a low cost peer-to-peer money transfer alternative. But is it enough to tip the global scales?

Trump plans to sign two new bipartisan spending bills totaling $1.4-trillion. The legislation contains more than 2,300 pages. Meanwhile, US national debt is over $23-trillion. There is no money to pay for any of this. The word insanity comes to mind.

The American news media is presently split between two “poles” of opinion regarding President Trump and the impeachment proceedings being brought against him.

Students were surprised and claimed they didn't have any money to donate toward free education for immigrants, even though they believed it should be provided as a 'human right'.

Hospitals hide prices from patients, thus, making it impossible for people to seek less expensive options. Hospitals privately negotiate with insurance companies to set the price of procedures. Trump's mandate simply requires that the hospital disclose the cost of the service before the patient accepts it.
