“Just-Us” System
I don’t care whether you like Donald Trump or you hate him. He definitely plays by a different set of rules. If you or I were taken to court on 49 counts of fraud, we would be destroyed because we don’t have the kind of money it would take to fight off such an onslaught.…

Computers
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). I suspect the most money I’ve ever spent is on one of my personal computers. Speed and memory cost a lot.
