Kathleen Godfree and Leslie Godfree happens to be the only married couple to win the mixed double Wimbledon championship.

In addition, Kathleen won 7 All-England Badminton titles, two Wimbledon singles and mixed troubles titles, 3 US championship titles, 5 Olynpic medals in Tennis, won 111 out of 146 Wimbledon matches with her right-hand, which was not her natural hand. During those times, right-hand was considered to offer advantage while playing sports, and hence, she decided to play with her right-hand. What would have happened, if she had played with her natural hand?

Even on the personal front, she and her husband, Leslie Godfree, won their mixed doubles title in tennis at Wimbledon in 1926. The couple were happily married for 45 years before the demise of Mr. Leslie Godfree in 1971. Kathleen went on to live for 96 years until her death in 1992.

Disney Heiress against tax cuts that gave $12 billion in tax savings to big banks.

Disney Heiress against tax cuts that gave $12 billion in tax savings to big banks. Disney Heiress speech is a strong statement against these tax cuts. This policy rewarding the banks, and the bank executives for their poor and high risk-taking behavior, along with the repeated favorable treatment for the top 1% of the wealthiest should not be an ongoing saga, if we, the people, are collectively concerned about addressing issues such as, health care needs for an ageing population, energy and resources demand, global climate change, increasing population density, and other interrelated issues in the 21st century. For that matter, these big banks are just intermediary units to Central banks. It is high time that Central banks around the world start considering a way to connect directly to the citizens rather than having intermediary middle body in the form of big banks. This action would save trillions of dollars around the globe. https://youtu.be/WH1NihRN5cU

Nothing is free.

As I stated in my media site, nothing comes for free, and for that matter you could lose more than you gain. This goes back to the question: What kind of economy do we have?
