another great point: when you deprive California of its agricultural workers, the entire nation's going to suffer as a result
and right now workers are not showing up to pick produce out of fear of being kidnapped.

Callenson had the courage and conviction to stay with the scene and keep filming. Not to run away, but instead to follow the scene. To continue documenting what was unfolding.
I'd like to think I'd have done the same. I'm not sure at all that I would have.

The collapse of two companies tied to the U.S. auto industry is shedding new light on a fast-growing part of the financial ecosystem little known outside Wall Street. Banks are lending vast sums to companies that also provide financial services—but aren’t banks in name or in how they are regulated.
After Tricolor and First Brands’ Collapse, U.S. Banks Face New Scrutiny $1.7 Trillion Worth of Opaque Loans
Loans to non-depository financial institutions like Tricolor now account for some 33% of all commercial and industrial loans originated by large banks.

A prediction:
Given the administration officials who the President pointed to Saturday don’t seem to want to be “in charge” of Venezuela, soon POTUS will appoint a four-star general and an “envoy”to run the country.
They will have some major challenges.
