M1928 Thompson submachine gun in custom violin case

They were originally designed as a trench sweeper and a replacement of slow firing bolt-action rifles, of course it was between the wars and so it was never used as such. (Except for the mob, that is)

The gun got adopted due to the endorsement of some bigger branches of the military liking its quality, but it was always regarded as weapon which was too expensive.

The biggest issues with the M1 was that it was well over-designed, meaning production was slow and whilst it was reliable, it was an extremely expensive weapon to push enough models to arm enough hands.

What Is Hollywood Accounting?

what is hollywood accounting

I’m a big Hollywood studio and I want to make a movie called Big Movie. It’s expected to break box-office records.

The first thing I do is create a holding company called Big Movie Holdings, Inc. While it was started by me, it is actually a completely independent company. I will do a deal with this company: it gets the rights to produce, market and hold the movie rights to Big Movie on one condition: it hires me to do the marketing and distribution.

cancer fund of america

The Federal Trade Commission says four cancer charities run by extended members of the same family conned donors out of $187 million and spent almost nothing to help actual cancer patients. 

The Cancer Fund of America is run by James Reynolds Sr. His son James Reynolds Jr. is the CEO of the Breast Cancer Society. Another charity, the Children’s Cancer Fund of America, is run by Rose Perkins, the ex-wife of the elder James Reynolds. He’s also the CEO of the fourth charity, Cancer Support Services.

The government says the charities claimed to provide direct support for cancer patients, breast cancer patients and children with cancer.

New York Govenor Andrew Cuomo making unwanted advances at wedding

Anna Ruch, said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo placed his hands on her cheeks at a wedding party and asked if he could kiss her.

Ruch, a former member of the Obama administration and the 2020 Biden campaign, said she met Cuomo at the crowded wedding reception in September 2019.

Within moments of being introduced, Ruch claims, the gov put his hand on the small of her lower back, which was exposed in an open-back dress.

“I promptly removed his hand with my hand, which I would have thought was a clear enough indicator that I was not wanting him to touch me,” she told the Times.

But the governor apparently didn’t get the hint.
