That’s $132,000 in rent a year. For a 2-bedroom. In Williamsburg!?

I think every naturally occurring retirement community is just a wealth gap.

Mr. Krinsky relocated last year from San Francisco to Williamsburg, a former industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, to be closer to his two grown sons after his 30-year marriage ended. He is starting over in a two-bedroom apartment with sweeping, 47th-floor views of the Manhattan skyline, paying almost $11,000 a month in rent.
"I'm a 35-year-old man trapped in a 65-year-old body," he said.
"I thrive on the
energy here, and I think my youthful vibe contributes to it and is nourished by it."

A safe icon that says you have $4.54 waiting for you

I made like 3 icons for the noun project like 10 years ago and they’re slowly earning me cash. It might even actually reach the $5 level to get paid out one of these years. πŸ˜‚

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

The war in Iran is already hugely expensive Aircraft carriers and stealth bombers are expensive to use.

did a little back of the envelope math for how much all this shit is costing. on the order of $1-2 billion per day just in direct spending, maybe 10 times that much in indirect effects

An executive at a large global hedge fund with a presence in Dubai said: "We have been exploring how to evacuate people but it's not easy."
He added: "It's pretty scary - this is going to have implications for some of my guys... The trade was not that you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai. It was not a consideration. People have moved families. This element of concern is new."

These people are whip smart. Why can't they see how badly they're coming off?
Perhaps it's because the superrich have allowed themselves to become increasingly isolated. An ever-more-stratified scale of luxury allows the staggeringly rich to avoid coming into contact with even the merely wealthy, let alone the rest of the world, "to glide through a rarefied realm unencumbered by the inconveniences of ordinary life," as The Wall Street Journal reported. Chuck Collins, who gave away his family fortune and who now investigates inequality, describes it this way: "Wealth is a disconnection drug that keeps people apart from one another and from building authentic real connections and communities.'
