I've heard about those rich bankers sitting around a big table figuring how to get more money and power. But I never got the whole picture. Thanks to John Kozy, I finally understand the power dynamics taking place in America.

I'd say we want more humane consideration beyond what a handful of old white men with white hair are willing to give. They are greedy self-absorbed psychopaths that don't care about anything or anyone beyond their own dynasty. It's time to rebel.

That brought in enough money to cover my expenses for two months, but my constant fear remained: I'd end up a bag lady on the streets of New York
