The Police Department Is Bringing More and More People Into the System
Some of it is, if you can't beat them, join them type of mentality. I was in a small town not long ago and observed the police department. And it's an expanding business. They're getting into everything. That means more and more people with criminal problems in court dates. There's not much left.

Every podcast I do I learn something new and exciting. Today was no different. I thought I understood what Cryptography and cryptocurrencies were. Truthfully, I learned a ton of really valuable information today. You just have to listen to Paul Rosenberg's thoughts and ideas. I know you'll love it as much as I did. Also, I really encourage all of you to get Paul's book: Lodging of Wayfaring Men. It was written long before it was published, and I know you'll see things just a little differently after you're done.Mentioned in this episode:
