Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "America’s Most Corrupt State Is Robbing YOU Blind Featuring David DeWitt" video.
There's a PBS Frontline documentary on how the Kentucky Teachers lost massively in New York Stock Exchange trading and nobody really knew what was going on or the risks that were being taken. Be careful if you have throwable objects nearby. Its so aggravating that you really do feel you want to break something or throw something.

I'm Australian but went to college U. Illinois on a sports scholarship. So I know this part of America quite well and despite the rivalry with Ohio is incredibly sad to hear about ALL THIS STUFF. There was the Governor of Illinois admissions scandal at MY ACTUAL SCHOOL, that affects my employment in Australia because anyone here who googles University of Illinois sees that. I dated a Hoosier for a while and to hear about the collapse of Indiana's manufacturing while Pete Buttigieg tells America how great he is ridiculous. I spent my first Thanksgiving in Kentucky. A while back I saw a PBS Frontline documentary on how the Kentucky Teachers lost massively in New York Stock Exchange trading and nobody really knew what was going on or the risks that were being taken. I spent another Thanksgiving in Cincinnati. I watched the COVID stats for that part of America and to see this on top of everything else that's happened is just heartbreaking.

I'm Australian but went to college at U. Illinois. So I know the Midwest reasonably well. This is kind of surprising because I thought it would have been Delaware (the world capital of tax evasion) or Idaho (the world capital of Russian money) or Texas (the world capital of "look over there at what they are doing"). My take on Ohio is that for every 2 children in Ohio one ends up playing sport for the Buckeyes and the other one learns to read & write.

@ld3511 Somebody did a vid story on tax evasion and hidden money in America around the time they slapped sanctions on the Russian Oligarchs after Russia invaded Ukraine. It might have been Thom. They pointed out that Delaware is the world capital of shelf companies. Its the easiest place in the world to set-up a company and avoid tax. After Delaware, Idaho is the next easiest place to set up a company and its even better because its incredibly easy to hide who owns the company. They think there's several Trillion dollars in Russian monetary assets that were taken out and washed through the London Laundromat and then deposited into the Idaho blackhole of financial secrecy. So sorry to disappoint but as far as I know Texas is (at best) number 3.

Its already been tried. NASA adapted Hubble Space Telescope technology for the task but every time they pointed it at a politician the electronics inside the camera melted. At first they thought it was a design flaw in the lens before they worked out it was like a human eye looking directly at the sun. They are currently adapting other space telescope technology to get past this problem, but are having trouble getting congress to fund it. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

@markfeland2285 Really I heard from this guy that Mississippi was the most corruption free state in the world. He was this guy about 6'2" with a beard, mid 50s and going a bit grey. Said his name was Brett something and was wearing a Packers shirt.

@ohms497 One of the great questions of modern society is: "If aliens exist where are they?" The answer is simple. They're hiding from us until they work out a way to deal with us.
