Dear World- single minded pursuit/accumulation of wealth does NOT equal functional/aware human being.  See exhibit A : John Mcafee  B: Donald Trump C:Howard Hughes    et al.....

Yes- someone WILL absolutely get killed- It is the drumbeat that has preceded all the OTHER recent violence against “targets” - POC, women, immigrants, gays. That violence has already happened in numbers that should have garnered complete societal revulsion. It has not. Maybe now that the news media find themselves…

I am quite sure that after, I dunno, yacht 17?- they are gonna open those purse strings and help the homeless or lobby for universal medical care or rebuild Puerto Rico - cause that’s what I keep hearing that rich folks do...But remember- they should never ever pay taxes n stuff on that wealth....that would be so…

Dear GQ - a less sexy article that delivers the news: “Rich pretty much equals Lucky” .....and I would submit that being a white heiress is pretty fuckin a matter of luck.....https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610395/if-youre-so-smart-why-arent-you-rich-turns-out-its-just-chance/?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_…

yes- the disinformation-as-long-as-we-make-a-profit IS one more nail. But the litany began before blogging [ever listen to AM talk radio hmmm?] The “news” long ago was just one more appendage of enhanced shareholder value, its veracity less important than ‘views’ or ‘eyes’ or ‘ears’ or ‘issues sold’. Ain’t capitalism…

I kinda think the Sunbeam Tiger was THE sleeper car.... I drove the 289 v8 Mark II version back in the 70s. Absolutely scared the hell out of me....and the only tip off was the little Sunbeam v8 badge....never street raced it but often wonder what it could have done..   .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_Tiger

lots of us fail to reckon on wrenching room- and it can be insidious: either my 78 F250 w/ a 400 or my 82 Suburban with its 8MPG 350 had a rear spark plug [drivers side i think] whose access would suck every bit of joy out of a simple tune up.... OTOH the internet has all sorts of forum discussions on “remove the…

Ummmm- I’m betting I’m not the only guy who first saw him on an ad and noticed all my “gibbering asshat” alarms pegged at  eleven?

no no no ...you should BUILD a boat.....

Nuggets fans begin wave of facepalm..... 

what this sez ^^^ not every course needs to be immaculate magnolia graced Augusta- I for one would much rather watch these pros get slapped around in Brit and Scottish style venues than most of those 78 below par snoozers on normal PGA events.

Kap ruining yet another franchise....

altho I have some planetary conscience that says internal combustion will most likely kill this beautiful home it is also true that i spent most of my adult life as a rural construction guy- and most of that in my own business... I kept a bike as my high mileage fun alternative but in a valley that used to see 30 and…

hmmm- I consider myself almost obscenely wealthy.... I get $600/mo SS [after they take out my medicare stuff] and my rentals net me another $1400/mo . BUT- solar powered/ heated home is paid for. Ditto the cruiser motorcycle, ditto the diesel PU. Like others , I learned to fix/repurpose and build the “things” I use-…

A] back in the dayI was regularly bumping the starter on a Lexus after it was already running- it WAS that damn quiet.

Two words: ” Bloatware”

one word: “hot mess”

old Nuggets fan: “tried to tell ya Knicks, Thunder.... “

Glad the author notes its not ALWAYS bottom line thinking. Paying off my mortgage early gave me a symbolic sense of security that no other investment success could have given. And it gave me the freedom to stretch in lots of ways that were far less tied to financial outcome: taking time to write a novel, build [and…

what if this is, in fact, just another dot com whose pyramid life has run its natural course.....?
