In these trying times, we face a medical emergency affecting the health and lives of so many citizens in the U.S. and around the World.

Have you heard about the patron at a restaurant in MI who recently left a tip of over $2,000 for the surprised waitress?

In a recent Wall Street Editorial titled “The VW-Tesla Redistribution” (July 1, 2016), they report on the cost of VW’s Business Ethics transgression (“installing ‘defeat devices’ in diesel cars that overroad nitrogen-oxide controls”).
