The Drug Lord vs. The White Collar Thief

Here is the deal; this guy steals over 50 billion dollars. His wife manages to put some away in an account with only her name on it right before the roof is blow off their house of cards, and now wants to keep some of that money. WHAT! Ruth Madoff, the wife of now infamous Bernie Madoff (probably the most hated rich dude behind Enron Exec around), is claiming that her money does not have anything to do with the fraud. Hmmm, let’s see … your husband (because there is no way you had anything to do with it) stole over 50 billion dollars and you are claiming that your 7 million dollar apartment and about 62 million dollar assets did not some way some how come from that pot of 50 BILLION.

My eyes are rolling so hard right now.

Now, let’s be clear. I do not approve of stealing or drug dealing. However, had Madoff been a drug lord, all his stuff (wife’s or not) would have been seized first and questions asked later. There is not way that the Drug Lord Madoff would be sitting in his penthouse waiting for a trial. He might be sitting somewhere but surely not his house because that would have been confiscated with a quickness. Not the Investor Madoff, he gets to chill.

She should not get to keep the house or the money. It is amazing to me that after all they have done, there is still a level of entitlement there. The only thing they are entitled to is to face the people they duped for all these years.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons.
