A single accountant stole $53 million from her employer over 20 years and nobody noticed
Rita Crundwell was the comptroller of Dixon, Illinois with a population of 15,000
She opened a secret bank account called “Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account”
For two decades she transferred city funds into it while filing fake invoices
She used the money to become the most successful quarter horse breeder in America
Owned 400 horses, multiple farms, a custom bus, and a $2.1 million motorhome
She won the World Championship in quarter horse breeding four times while actively robbing a small town
Only got caught because a substitute accountant covered her desk while she was on vacation
The city had been cutting firefighter jobs and road repairs for years while this was happening
$53 million. One woman. 20 years. One vacation.

Ferrari has released a new video of the interior for its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce.
It was designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive, who recently said "a large touchscreen doesn't work in a car."
Car info:
• Four-door four-seater
• 122 kWh battery
• 330 miles of range (European rating methods)
• 1,000 horsepower
• 0-60mph: Under 2.5s
• Four electric motors
• OLED screens
• Guess cluster screen is made up of several layers. By cutting out holes in the upper layers, Ferrari created displays where the speedometer graphic is below the level of a physical needle, which is itself behind additional drive info and beneath a curved inset lens.
• Will have fake gear shifts
• Weight: 5,100 lbs

@Huff4Congress I grew up in the south in the 90s and race wasn't even a topic anymore except in history classes. We all had friends and family of all races, saw them represented in film and in high work positions, and everybody was chill. Actual racists were extremely rare & all but invisible.

It’s difficult to explain to anyone under 30 that we elder millennials and Gen Xers really did live in a melting pot.
“Diversity” wasn’t a virtue. It just happened. Film, TV, music, school, work. It was unremarkable. It was just America. We shared life because we shared culture.

@Huff4Congress This was one of my favorite sitcoms from the 70s, there were so many like it.
