This guy really had beef with banks.

He was not happy about loans

fucking HATE loans

it’s so fucking funny that in the middle of this there is one thing he actually did, which was help to establish the aircraft industry and built some of the first airliners, and then it goes straight to PENETRABILITY

He also developed his own highly unusual theories of physics, according to which such concepts as “penetrability”, “suction and pressure” and “zig-zag-and-swirl” were discoveries on par with Einstein’s theory of relativity.
