It’s up to us and Bernie Sanders.

HILLARY: Now wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute!

  Spain has also been a fulcrum between East and West [#Gibraltar #NewWorld]. Re: #Brexit, but now Spain is part of #EU. #BalanceofGlobalPowers

anecdotal evidence: I asked my brothers how to short the housing market in 2007 but they didn’t know how or wouldn’t say.  [It’s hard to know. Books and screenplays like The Big Short, The Smartest Guys in the Room and such reveals are mostly written after the fact, as was Watergate].
