I have this as well - but interest rates are so low at the moment (and have been for years) that savings accounts essentially lose money over time because the “interest” is an order of magnitude lower than inflation.

I usually really enjoy your writing but I think you really failed to capture the humanity in what you are writing about here. This isn’t about class war or employment issues. This is about the horrific murder of two children. The way in which you analyze that here is a best cold.

This article is incredibly unfair to the Krims. No, Yoselyn Ortega’s complaints weren’t legitamite. She made bad financial decisions; she sent her son to expensive private schools, she chose to sublet from a someone who kicked her out shortly after she moved in. They paid her, they offered her extra work when they…

It is an injustice to paint these parents in any other light than grieving fucking parents.

The only Stormy I recognize is Misty’s foal.

I’m actually so surprised at this verdict but elated for his family. She is evil.

I’ve shared this before, but I lost my 16 year old daughter to suicide 5/29/16. There is not one thing that her father and I would not have done to save our beautiful girl.

My mom tells us not to talk about it, but there is something sensitive about our family. We feel things, and then we bite our tongues to prevent bothers from thinking we are nuts.

I’d heard mumblings growing up of a strange incident involving my family and a famous murder, but my grandma refused to discuss it and I knew better than to ask around. After my great-aunt died and left behind 200 pages of memoirs, I finally got the full story.
