“After 15 years in America, I learned just two things for sure about America. One, they give you three meals a day in jail, no exceptions. Two, the only real way to make a living in this place is to be a bullshit artist. After 20+ years in America including 8 years of AA meetings, I decided that I finally have an American Dream. My american dream is to drink beer all day and host overtalkers anonymous meetings. Please vote for Andrew Yang.”

“After 1908, and especially after 1945, capitalist greed was somewhat reined in, not least due to the fear of Communism. Yet inequities are still rampant. The economic pie of 2014 is far larger than the pie of 1500, but it is distributed so unevenly that many African peasants and Indonesian labourers return home after a hard day’s work with less food than did their ancestors 500 years ago.”

“After 1909, Monet drastically enlarged his brushstrokes, disintegrated his images, and broke through the taming constraints and delicacy of Impressionism for good. Nineteen gnarly paintings, starting in 1909 and carrying through his final seventeen years, finish off the notion that Monet went happily ever after into lily-land.”

“After 1957 On The Road sold a trillion levis and a million espresso coffee machines, and also sent countless kids on the road. This was of course due in part to the media, the arch-opportunists. They know a story when they see one, and the Beat movement was a story, and a big one . . . The Beat literary movement came at exactly the right time and said something that millions of people of all nationalities all over the world were waiting to hear. You can't tell anybody anything he doesn't know already. The alienation, the restlessness, the dissatisfaction were already there waiting when Kerouac pointed out the road.”

“After 25 years in manufacturing I had finally reached a point in life where early retirement felt within reach. I had built up some savings and like many others I started exploring ways to grow my money a bit faster. That’s when I stumbled upon a popular Twitter page promoting a Bitcoin doubling event. The page looked legitimate with thousands of followers, flashy testimonials and even a verified check mark. It claimed that if you sent in Bitcoin they would double it within the hour. intrigued I decided to try it with 1.8 BTC roughly $100,000 at the time. Within minutes of sending it they responded saying the unlock required a second payment of the same amount. That’s when it hit me. This wasn’t a promo. It was a trap. I tried to contact them but they vanished. No replies. No refund. The wallet was drained and I was left in shock. The guilt was unbearable. After working hard my whole life I had just thrown away a big part of my future. I couldn’t sleep. I was angry at myself, ashamed and ready to give up on my retirement dream. My daughter who is much more tech savvy started researching online and came across FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY. She insisted I reach out to them. From the first conversation they were professional, calm and knowledgeable. They assured me they had handled similar Bitcoin scam cases. Within hours they began tracing the transaction through blockchain records. It turned out the scammers were using a chain of wallets to launder the stolen crypto. FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY collaborated with international cybersecurity partners and legal entities to flag and freeze the destination wallet. In just eight days they successfully recovered 1.2 BTC. It wasn’t everything but it was a massive relief. Knowing I didn’t lose the full amount helped me find peace. I learned the hard way that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is but I also learned that not all hope is lost after being scammed. Thanks to FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY my retirement plans are still alive. I’m moving forward smarter and more cautious. If you’ve been a victim don’t stay silent. Get help from people who actually know how to fight back. CONTACT INFO BELOW: TELEGRAM: + 1 8 1 8 4 7 4 1 7 3 1 EMAIL: F u n d s r e c l a i m e r @ c o n s u l t a n t c o m”

“After 25 years of buying and supervising a great variety of businesses, Charlie [Munger] and I have not learned how to solve difficult business problems. What we have learned is to avoid them. To the extent we have been successful, it is because we have concentrated on identifying one-foot hurdles that we could step over rather than because we acquired any ability to clear seven-footers.”

“After 30 years of coaching and teaching stand-up comedy to thousands, both in my workshops (longest continuous in LA) and private coachings; I finally wrote the book! It covers 1-Discovering your Comedic Character; 2- an 80-page workbook using the best joke formulas from over 25 years in my workshops: 3- How to put it all together, deal with audiences, clubs, and the biz.”

“After 55 years at the bar and a career as a law professor it may seem strange that I wouild write a novel. But the opportunity to spin a tale about hidden treasure, secret codes, midlife love, a life-saving dog and a thrilling chase through West Virginia was just too tempting. The Secet of the 48th Foot was too much fun not to give it a whirl.”
