One tiny little thing...I recently read "House of Pain" (audio) about the Sacklers. There was a tiny little sentence that I can't forget. It said that one of the Sackler brothers had to go to a board meeting for State Street because he was the majority shareholder. It was a few decades ago too.
Is it possible that the likes of the Sacklers are indeed the majority shareholders of State Street, Vanguard or Blackrock? Just pharma families instead of cartels, etc.?
I'm 1/2 Southern Italian and 1/2 Scots-Irish / English. Never felt 'White', even tho I'm essentially 1/2 WASP. Idk why, it might be that the standard image of what White is in this country is a narrow category that was pushed by popular culture and media. The folks who run media (and pornography) seem to have an obsession with the White stereotype.
I identify as Polish even though I’m not 100%. I was raised by my grandparents among Chicago Polonia.
I was actually born in Appalachia (Eastern Tennessee) but didn’t have much contact with my father. I may not be close to that side of my family, but I will never sell out my own… unlike JD Vance.
