Practically everyone I talk to is done with toxic divisive politics.
They hate both sides because both sides are failures.
Yes people still hold their core beliefs but they are fed up with the drama.
All people want is their government to shut the F up and make Americans lives good.
Thats it. Just that.
@thehill Everyone can thank @SenWarren and @PeteButtigieg for destroying 17,000 jobs and shutting down a merger to protect big airlines from competitors. Wonder how much they were paid
The IRS or ATO unlawfully leaked that my bank was the target of the Atlantis investigation. Australia’s 60 Minutes then aired a defamatory broadcast that not only named my bank, but also presented false and misleading information to portray it as guilty of serious wrongdoing.
In reality, the investigation uncovered no evidence of any crimes. The damage, however, extended beyond me and my bank. The 60 Minutes broadcast also harmed Puerto Rico by accusing me of locating the bank there precisely because of lax regulation and a government supposedly willing to look the other way at tax evasion.
By portraying Puerto Rico as a tax haven, the report damaged the island’s reputation as well.That reputational harm gave the IRS and J5 leverage. Puerto Rico had been publicly embarrassed, and OCIF’s image had been damaged. The IRS, through Treasury, was in a position to help Puerto Rico repair that damage by turning the narrative around: instead of Puerto Rico being portrayed as a haven for tax evasion, OCIF could be presented as a tough regulator cooperating with the J5 to shut down an alleged enabler of tax evasion.
At the same time, the J5 had its own reason to save face. The media had framed the Atlantis investigation as one of the J5’s crowning achievements. When the investigation came up empty, the J5 needed a visible result. Getting OCIF to shut down my bank allowed the J5 to claim a public victory despite the absence of evidence of wrongdoing.
But for the unethical public exposure of a confidential investigation by 60 Minutes and the media outlets that followed its lead, Euro Pacific Bank would still be operating today. Had the investigation been allowed to run its natural course, it would have ended without incident. The IRS would have moved on, and the bank likely would have continued operating stronger than ever, with regulators having seen firsthand the strength of its AML and KYC compliance. Puerto Rico’s reputation also would have suffered no harm, because no one would have known the bank was under investigation.
Instead, 60 Minutes named the bank, accused it of wrongdoing, and helped create the very crisis that later became the excuse to shut it down. The bank was not closed because the accusations were true; it was closed because the J5 and OCIF needed to save face and repair the reputational damage caused simply becasue the accusations were made. Then, in a final irony, 60 Minutes used the shutdown as supposed proof that its original story was correct—even though the shutdown resulted from the false narrative the broadcast itself created.

@jonmachota On paper this is a huge improvement. I have a feeling their new DC is a dawg. He got nothing but love from former Eagles players he coached and Jerry let him pick his players.
