What a relief! Festival was getting distressing. Thanks for all you do.
And now for my disclaimer: I do not want to paint EVERYTHING with a conspiracy paintbrush, so I want to say that sometimes, a tradition is still just a tradition, and sometimes crap just happens.
So for all my comments henceforth, as I muddle through dot connections and puzzle pieces, please remember this disclaimer applies to each and every post!
Did a brief dig on the suicided(or was it Arkcancide)Mr. Bing-who has donated millions to DemocRATs, progressive causes & organizations, and recently was calling for abolishing the police.
******* excerpt follows:
In March 2010, the Daily Beast reported that Bing “counts some of the world’s wealthiest and most influential people as his closest friends, including former President Bill Clinton,” whom he was paying “$2.5 million a year to serve as an adviser to his green-construction business.”
In April 2012, Bing committed to join the Giving Pledge, established by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, to donate the majority of his wealth to charity over the course of his lifetime.
