NFL Players PEUnion
Sports news revealed Lloyd Howell, the head of the NFL Players Association, is also an operating executive for The Carlyle Group, a politically connected private equity underwriter (PEU). Carlyle is one of three private equity firms approved by the league for partial team ownership stakes.
Howell gets $3.4 million for his full time job as Executive Director of the NFL players union. His other high paying gigs include The Carlyle position as well as three corporate board seats (Moody's, GE Healthcare and Mantech).
Numerous handsome paying gigs is common amongst our nation's PEU elite. Being on multiple sides of a deal is also common in PEU-ville. Add "player representative-potential team part owner" to the latest PEU irreconcilable conflict.
Union jobs ain't what they used to be if you get paid $3.4 million and get to keep your PEU side gig. Welcome to the PEUnion.

Is there really such a thing as blue chip crypto? Doubtful, given crypto's history as the currency of scallywags. The misrepresentations, the hawking, the incessant pumping...there really has never been anything like it in the history of the world.
The State of Play (Illicit Escapades)
The people learned government is there to protect the powerful, enable the criminal, and make serious private bank from "public service."
Jeffrey Epstein's 1,000 child victims may have gotten justice through civil means, but no child predator in the horrific decades long saga has been charged with a crime.

Too many high powered people with degenerate sexual tendencies get to stay out of jail. More winning for them, while losses for us.The river of public abandonment is rising. The same social media companies that harmed our children are given free reign and significant public subsidy for AI.These ICE budgets are like giving dynamite to a pyromaniac at a methane plant and expecting a quiet day.Meanwhile CNBC's Jim Cramer tells everyone not to worry about the Epstein files? Financial engineering plus social engineering is the new matrix.Both sides of the aisles from the city, state and federal levels have neglected their duties and pilfered the people en masse.How is the greatest threat to all of us a social democrat running for New York City mayor who hasn't even held office? What a flippin' joke.We are so dumbed down Maybe we are ready for AI. All idiots
