The best way I know to summarize the various speculative booms of the last couple of decades is that we keep passing orders of magnitude in money.

My first summer job at 13 was at a car wash. It sucked: the work was hard, in the sun all day, and the pay was like $3/hr. A lot of the guys I worked with had just gotten out of jail. How twisted must your moral compass be if you pass a car wash and think “F— those freeloaders!”

Fun fact I like to repeat every time the “filibuster” is all over my feed: the fist use of the word in US politics was 19th century private citizens who were raising armies to invade and take over Latin American countries.

The thing the “people are fleeing NYC” and “I’d never live in NYC” crowd doesn’t know is that all New Yorkers love the fact that most people think it’s crazy to live here and wouldn’t know how. Because they’re not New Yorkers. Related: the best thing New York is good at is making new New Yorkers.

Just saw *another* Cuomo ad showing a depopulated NYC … it’s like a vision for him
The strangest part of this ad is the “scary” part is just images of the subway. The same subway that me and my kids ride every day.
The target audience of this ad is literally people scared of the subway, which is not the 3.4 million people who ride it every day.
To me, it’s not dark at all.
