To clarify, the ancient Greeks were very concerned about making money, and were mostly rational interest-maximizers in the way that modern people are; but the point of making money was to live well, not to continue accumulating money.

The police spending is ridiculous, my goodness.

Going to my school site-council we provide input on where to prioritize 3 educators over like 9 critical places we could put them. Sure would be nice if the school board could just go 20mil over budget without any consequences

That said, specific person aside it doesn't feel right that he makes less than I do, a mid-level quant at a bank. He does have more important responsibilities.

But if I don't push for what the market is, it will just be my colleagues that get less. Plus a bit more profit for a big corporation.

I make more than the mayor, and this resonates with me - the more I make the more I struggle to think I'm worth it (there are thousands of people who work harder and have more impact on the world that make less).

We live 10min from the mall - it was a great thing to have a membership to when our son was in the 2-5 range. Nice for cold winter days.

I love how he hangs the front of his off of couches like this

My son sang this song for a holiday concert in Kindergarten so it has a special place in my heart, but I actually really like it too. Probably for Cleaning, maybe Variety depending on your taste
