One thing I hate about the banking system is how they turn people into numbers

Here's a number: Every time unemployment goes up by 1%, 37,000 Americans die!

Want more numbers?

4,000 people go to a mental hospital
3,300 go to prison
There's 650 homicides and almost 1,000 suicides

Unemployment is currently at 3.5%, but the economy is looking very very shaky,
DANGEROUSLY shaky.

That's where the focus should be!

10. Here Twitter staff ask for Twitter General Counsel (& former FBI Deputy General Counsel) Jim Baker's blessing for EIP and Virality Project partner Graphika to "inform their partners in USG 3-5 days before publication" of a report detailing Pentagon disinformation operations.
