Awesome stuff. Gotta check out all these. I'm forced by my 19-yr-old Steve-Buscemi-obsessed- daughter to watch everything this actor ever done did. Though I do draw the line at his efforts with Adam Sandler. And The Transformers. No thanks.

Tonight it's Mystery Train (1989). Again. RIP Joe S.

Money Masters is an excellent documentary about the money system, the Fed, debt-based finance, fractional reserve lending, etc. Bill Still does a fine job of covering the material and making it interesting, even though he has an irritating habit of shaking his pen to emphasize each point!

I watched it about two years ago with a group of folks interested in exploring alternative economics, and we thought we should learn about our current system as a place to start. The pen-shaking is annoying, but we all felt it gave us a really good grounding in how the system we have got started and who the actors are/have been. I highly recommend it. Our group is still meeting around issues of alternative economics, equity jurisprudence, and irrevocable trusts as ways to ground ourselves in the private and be ready to have each other's backs when the financial system tries to force us into using CBDCs (we're not going to!).
