"My food has no flavour" , two days later they took over India. I wish someone has summarized it for me like this when I was slaving over pages and pages of history books in school.

I loved how Roy was spitting facts... Everything he said about the evading tax and running up the real estate market defines America

"Oligarch is a fancy word for super rich billionaires IN RUSSIA" Well here in the US we certainly have billionaires influencing our government I assume much more than in Russia.

"Oligarchs" are not just Russian billionaires. The Greek word means: "the few who rule (over the many)". Every country where lobbyists are allowed to negotiate with chosen leaders has oligarchs. Lobbyists speak on behalf of big corporations and they ruin democracy and capitalism. Democracy requires that each citizen has an equal say in elections. And capitalism relies upon equal opportunities for competition. If we allow the game to be rigged in favour of those who can afford to lobby, we are no longer a capitalist democracy.

In London, Paris, and Amsterdam where my family lives, the real estate market is suddenly flooded with listing for apartments over 1 million euros/pounds. Interesting how those countries sheltered those criminals, rationalizing abuse.

“Putin’s Chef” isn’t just a chef. He needs a full episode. He is also an assassin and a war criminal. Like the worst kind of war criminal. Makes Eddie Gallagher look like a teddy bear.

I LOVE Trevor Noah because his show is always so well educated and well informed and manages to captivate the concept of the situation very well. We actually learn something from watching him.
