  4. There are words that relay the extreme gravity of a crime. Words like 'rape', 'murder', 'incest' and 'extortion' all have a visceral sense of how bad an act is.

    If only we could determine a word like that for '#moneyPrinters'.

    Words '#theft' and '#slaver' are too weak. The term '#humanTrafficking' is not bad but has other meanings.

    If 'usury' is for loanSharks — how about '#abusery'?

    Or something named after the #CantillonEffect — like '#tillony'?

  5. Hi. As near as I can make out from genealogical dives a few years back, my third-great-grandfather was a #slaver in Missouri.

    Which, as I see it, makes it something of a moral imperative for me to share this video on how the US #history narrative on #slavery has been corrupted.

    *The last slave was freed in 1942, not 1865.*

    Eager to discuss with #BlackMastodon and all of #Mastodon during US #BlackHistoryMonth.
