<html>Takeesha did not end up getting out; she spent another two months, held a total of four months, for a variety of charges that almost all ended up being dropped. Takeesha was raped at 11-years-old, by a family member, and pimped by another family member at 13. She ran away at 15. She has worked the last 25 years as a prostitute in Hunts Point and is addicted to both heroin and crack. Her story is not different from many homeless addicts I have gotten to know: childhood trauma, often sexual abuse, followed by rejection by the family, followed by addiction,[http://www.mdahellas.gr/content/cory-kelly-brady-trey-cia-bounce-and-king-handles-all-highli Cory, Kelly, Brady, Trey, CIA Bounce and King Hand], and then, almost always for the women, followed by prostitution.Mr one-glove is not that different from many whom I met on Wall Street over my 20 career. He had upper middle class parents, was college educated, got an MBA, followed by a demanding high-paying job that became his identity.What have I learned from knowing both Mr one-glove and Takeesha? Here's my one-line answer: When you're wealthy you make mistakes. When you are poor you go to jail.Yes, it is like comparing apples and oranges. That is the point though. We have built two very different societies with two very different sets of values. Takeesha was born into a world with limited opportunities, one where the black market has filled the void. In her world transgressions are resolved via violence, not lawyers. The law as applied to her is simple and stark, with little wiggle room. Mr one-glove was born into a world with many options. The laws of his land are open for interpretation, and with the right lawyer one can navigate in the vast grey area and never do anything wrong. The rules are often written by and for Mr one-glove and his friends.No, Mr one-glove did not break any laws. Not explicitly, although in 2008,[http://www.moselbook.de/index.php?p=blogs/viewstory/277651 PA library remembers 9], he helped to bankrupt a company that helped to almost bankrupt the global economy. Rather, he spent his adult life moving numbers around on spreadsheets and betting on other numbers. Over his entire career, he has probably lost more money than he made, with the hole from 2008 swallowing any prior profits. For that he has been very richly rewarded. Tens of millions of dollars rewarded. Takeesha has broken many laws, none open for interpretation. You use (well, not prescription drugs), you go to jail. You sell your body for sex, you go to jail. You can paint a narrative where young Takeesha shakes off her rape at 11, shakes off being sold on the streets at 13, and rallies. She finds the right foster family, takes advantage of the social services offered, and graduates from high school or at least gets her GED equivalent, then goes to college and moves well beyond her past. Maybe she even ends up in banking, with her juvenile record forgiven. You can paint that story, but it's a fairy tale. Mr one-glove would probably not approve of Takeesha. He felt everyone makes his own path in life,[http://223.4.10.113/index.php/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Rovahomoimi#Conan.27s_Priest_Stalker Conan's Priest Stalker], that raising his taxes to help the poor was encouraging a lifetime of sloth. To him, was because of a lack of trying, a lack of working as hard as he had. Many successful professionals, who forget their benign youth, share that attitude. Poverty and addiction have a thousand mothers, none of them sloth. Surviving the streets and hustling for the next fix is some of the hardest work around. Takeesha would probably say about Mr one-glove what another addict said with admiration, when hearing about my Wall Street life: "You made tricky money in a tricky world."Mr one-glove eventually left his company. He is still working somewhere in finance,[http://bbs.88ug.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1883846 Jalen Rose sees good things for Denver Nuggets in 2013], putting together another portfolio of mortgages using borrowed money.Takeesha is still out on the streets,[http://ugp.nxteam.pl/showthread.php?539796-Zu-hohe-Ablöse-Zidane-kritisiert-Bale&p=2467512#post2467512 Zu hohe Ablöse-- Zidane kritisiert Bale], charging $50 for men to have sex with her. Or maybe she is in jail. I have to check weekly to see which it is.</html> | <html>Takeesha did not end up getting out; she spent another two months, held a total of four months, for a variety of charges that almost all ended up being dropped.
