I still haven't gotten over nannies, *plural*, for his four kids. A person like that definitely knows the struggles of the working class.

Wealth gap between middle class and rich widest

OOOOOO POW MIAMI wan

Not only are middle class suffering from stagnant incomes, their wealth hasn't grown at all either.

That's led to the widest wealth gap on record between the middle class and the rich. The median

household net worth of middle-income Americans remained at $96,500 between 2010 and 2013,

according to a new report from the Pew Research Center, which looked at Federal Reserve Bank data.

Upper-income households, however, saw their wealth grow to $639,400 last year, up from $595,300.

That means the rich have 6.6 times more wealth than the middle class, a figure that's grown from 4.1 in

1998 and 3.4 in 1983. It's also a record 69 times the wealth of lower-income Americans, who had

accumulated only $9,300 as of last year. Part of the reason for the gap stems from how the rich and

the middle class build wealth. The former are more likely to invest in the stock market, which has been

on a tear in recent years. The latter have more of their net worth tied up in the housing market, which

hasn't recovered as much.

That's also why the Great Recession had a bigger impact on the net worth of the middle class. Back in

2007, before the housing crash, the middle class saw its median wealth soar to $158,400. The rich also

haven't recovered fully from the downturn, but they are a lot closer to their 2007 peak of $718,000.

Looking longer term, the rich have more than doubled the size of their nest eggs over the past three

decades, while the middle class have inched up 2.3%. Pew defines middle income as family of four

with a household income between $44,000 and $132,000. Some 46% of American household fall into

middle income under its methodology, which adjusts for family size. Upper-income Americans are

those who earn more than $132,000 for a family of four. And that's widening the already massive

wealth gap between whites and other racial and ethnic groups to near record levels.

via BGC Financial and Cantor Fitzgerald

Re: 272-NY-0, 04/23/2021

companies, liquid funding, and real estate brokerage firms. is

using a "global Ponzi share" scheme involving over 3,500 BGC employees

who are forced to contribute 10% of their earnings into the scheme.

Lutnick is deeply rooted to the royal family and has multiple high

profile and celebrity connections. Lutnick claims to be a philanthropist,

but is merely using his charities as a "smokescreen" for his illegal

activity. Many of the individual involved in Lutnick's charities have

criminal breaches against them.

believes he has supporting documents which could link Lutnick to

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell and Sarah Ferguson, a

royal family member, host events called La Dolce Vita Parties, where high

profile celebrities and executives contribute large donations to attend.

The donations are linked to causes involving children. Lutnick made "huge

donations" to these events. Epstein also sold Lutnick a house for $10

dollars through a trust fund, which was then sold for millions shortly

after prior to the money going overseas.

stated he has multiple regulatory reporting documents he can

provide to an agent to substantiate his claims. would like to

speak to an agent to better and more thoroughly outline and tie

everything together.

In addition, believes its suspicious Lutnick's contributed over

65 million dollars to Haverford College in New York, although he cannot

prove any illegal activity concerning this aspect.

"...and then father Staley USED HIS DAUGHTER to help his own personal connection with Epstein."

Fixed it for you (professional editor here). Still, I can't help wondering if my version is too soft. There is, after all, at least one word for this behavior. It starts with 'p' and it sure ain't "pretty."

"We left with all of my children."

What an extremely curious thing to say.

Was there the possibility of leaving some of them behind?

Nothing to see here! Very innocent! How could my children be involved (of course they were: they're human shields against public criticism).

This right here ^^

You're not the only person I've heard point out how he just kept rambling on about "the children" and "the nannies" like -- dude, nobody needed to know any of that

I am a linguistic analyst and wrote an article dissecting Lutnick's story about his "one and absolutely done" meeting with Epstein -- showing that it was a total story. Among other things, Lutnick used the present tense (we use the past tense for past events, and the present tense for our imagination).

I was disappointed by the weak questions in the hearing. "Did you see anything on the island?" "We saw his staff." UMM RED FLAG! And no follow up question! His wife's blink rate was through. The. Roof. indicating major internal stress. Innocent people don't feel that; the truth is on their side.

And the final question: "Would you be willing to ensure that the file is complete to share... any records you have that relate to Jeffrey Epstein?"

Lutnick: “I will surely talk about that, I, I hadn’t thought about that, I, I have nothing to hide. Absolutely not.”

Will Lutnick share his records? No. How do we know? Because he said "absolutely not" and didn’t say he would. He said he will “talk about that.” People who are truthful phrase things in the positive. Dishonest people phrase things in the negative. “I have nothing to hide” and “absolutely not” are lies, lies and lies. Dude's family probably wiped their devices as soon as they got home.

What I don't understand is why Howard Lutnick made those comments about getting "grossed out" by Epstein in 2005. It seems those remarks were gratuitous and unnecessary. Surely he would have known that his statements would be later contradicted?

Why say anything at all?

These people are all high on their own supply and think they are above consequences. So far, they are right.
