    I enjoyed your comments about wealth inequality. I can't believe some of the things I hear about the "rich". What they cannot be comprehended by those of us in the "Middle Class". I have enjoyed all of the Podcasts and learned something from each one. You might as well be in the ground if you can't learn something new every day.
