I once heard someone call the healthcare industry "an interlocking series of load-bearing scams" and I don't think I've heard a more spot-on description of anything.

In this approach, 007 could even be a woman, if done carefully.

Of course, it's all in the execution of the film making/writing. But starting by flashing quick clips of ALL the "James Bonds" ending with the new one saying, "Bond, James Bond" would solve lots of those problems, with slight if any re-invented "back story".

To be clear, Morgan WAS very wealthy and he enjoyed his luxuries and extended European vacations, etc, but he didn't have ROCKEFELLER money. And he locked all the bankers of NYC in his library until they pledged money to fix the panic of 1907.

I think this is right. But J.P. Morgan, for instance, saw his primary responsibility as the preservation of the stability of the social system, while you find no one like that today. (ofc when Morgan died, Rockefeller commented, "And to think, he wasn't really a wealthy man" or something like that)

You gotta hit em in the egos kids, they don’t have much of anything else going on in there

Yeah. I knew my grandfather had been in World War 1. (Years later, I looked him up. He was a rifleman with the 5th Marines at Belleau Wood-that battle that give the Marines their"big dick energy") When I was 14 I asked him what it was like to be in WW1. "It was terrible ... ..."That's all he'd say.

BUT IT ONLY LASTS A FEW YEARS!.(After which much more arduous adventures in parenting ensue) As near as I can tell, those last about 50 years.
