What a pleasant interview with Ken Harbaugh, a former U.S. Navy pilot and nonprofit executive, speaking with Harvard-trained UT Austin bankruptcy law professor A. Mechele Dickerson.
Easy listening, without the hard sell, and an enjoyable video as well.
Thank you Rhiannon (of 260, 482 DU postings).

Where are these people going? Into the super wealthy column or the poor & homeless column?
I'm betting on the latter.
