NOT SURE YOU GOT THIS!
Why isn't someone nvestigating the validity and credibility of the Secretary of public Treasuries claim about allocating money to select "banks." Which banks? Who owns them? Who are their shareholders? Allowig professional thugs free reign with public funds keeps the fox 'guarding the chicken coop.
Also isn't the issue needing to be also addressed is WHY the world ecconomy is being effectively repressed? What need be brought to a standstill! The auto industry as an example has continued to produce vehicles using fuels that pollute and have ignored all pleas to do otherwise!
An economic system destabilizing the very environment it -and all other world species- must function in simply cannot be allowed to continue doing so.

The music is the instrumental version of "Memories of You" that was a staple of the Benny Goodman orchestra. Very apt.
