True story: Gloria Steinem got married to David Bale, Christian Bale’s father, at Wilma Mankiller’s place. In light of Christian’s playing Patrick Bateman in “American Psycho”, that’s always amused me.

Tubman checks off two boxes; black and female.

Jackson stays ‘cause he was the first democrat President.

And yes, the democrats have no shame.

“Numerous banks used to print their own competing currencies. Contrary to the claims of John Kenneth Galbraith and other left-wing economists, private competition tended to prevent runaway inflation and deep depressions.”

I don’t think competition had much to do with it. The real difference is that those private banknotes were backed with actual physical commodities, like gold and silver. That’s why they were a better store of value than the notes we have backed with nothing.

the first color copies of money could fool vending machines.

So Steinem is/was Christian Bale’s wicked step-mother?

Dealing with that might explain his rage fueled, profanity laced tirade!
