My middle class brother and his family of 5 arrived this morning after selling their PA home yesterday and driving through the night.

The new house is a lot more expensive and I hope they can swing it 😔

The night before I graduated undergrad, I couldn’t sleep and kept thinking about going to law school so I could stop Ticketmaster and legal (illegal) resale (scalping).

Readers, it was 20 years ago.
And I studied engineering.

Stupid musings perhaps. I’m just sick of the “billionaires already pay their fair share” bullshit I’m seeing today.

If you make money for nothing, (aka investing), you can afford for a cut to go to taxes.

It’s tax day. $$ will be coming out of my bank account and going to the government. More than my annual salary when I started working.

Am I mad? Nope. I owe that much because of market profits, not work I did or value I produced. Simply having extra money made me more extra money.

cc: billionaires

Catch an uber home. Reminisce with the driver about the cover band scene in the 90s. Talk about this lead singer moving to Florida and that bassist moving to Arizona. Text your mom bc she’s the cool one who knew these bands, not you.
#Philly.

Get buzzed. Stroll Old City. Walk into the tattoo parlor. Spend $100 to touch up the tattoos that originally cost $40. Curse inflation.

Housing advocates: kill the Faircloth limit

That guy: kill the Faircloth limit from 1999 and rebench to 2027

HAs: no not like that!!!!

Our package is 132, high enough up that we get shade in the summer months. Clutch.

Smart, hard working men get promoted when they show the potential to do the big job.

Smart, hard working women have to do the big job well for years without the title, ask for it, and then “wait their turn.”Then maybe, just maybe, they’ll get the promotion.

It should be illegal to mark a home as having parking on the MLS when it does not, in fact, have parking.

That it’s common practice now to do when a seller is including pre-paid lot parking nearby is bullllllll shiiiiitttttt.

For real. $900 million is already more than one can spend in a lifetime so….

This is such great logic.

Let’s be selfish for a minute. Say you’re a healthy, educated, middle or upper class person. Don’t you want to avoid being near sick, poor, desperate people? Cool. Let’s help there be less of “them” and everyone wins

Because I grew up poor, I now feel like I have more money than I know what to do with.
I consider myself legit wealthy, and even have a little guilt about it at times.

My income and net worth is a literal joke compared to the people this would target. Nobody needs that much money. Nobody.

Thanks! Good to know.

Is the prior record held by Steve’s prince of steaks?

As a native Philadelphian, I have a little nostalgia for the pre-gentrified steaks.

As a person with working taste buds, gimme cooper sharp on a seeded roll.

My Aldi has digital tags and they look just like paper. When they suddenly go dark and catch my eye, a price comes into focus but I can’t tell if it had changed from what it was seconds prior.

Digital tags? Cool.
It being legal to change them while the store is open to shoppers? Uncool.

My only rule is it has to be a color.
No variety of white-gray-silver-black counts as a color.

He picked the stupid white model Y and we were stuck with it because of price changes and deferments. Never again.

Thanks!

My husband said Catalina cove. My son and I chanted “purple. Purple. Purple” at his face 😂

What’s crazy about my day is that I opened this app briefly and got to talk about this

AND the Space Jam (a new legacy) soundtrack, which said 7 year old played on repeat for 4 months straight.

What a day to be alive.

The whole album is great. I love hoops with salt and peppa and Lil Wayne giving himself a pep talk in Control the World.

“Talking to myself like self, don’t ignore yourself” 🔥

Quack if you buck.
Flows so fast road runner can’t pursue me.
Wylin like coyote

And that’s just off my head without turning it on.

My child listened to this album on repeat for 4 months straight last winter. Every song is worth listening to. The whole album is clean lyrics so I told every hip hop loving parent I knew about it.

But also, you’re wrong about those lyrics. There are hidden gems:

Which means you didn’t seek out the clean version of Shake it Fast to play for your 7 year old on your way home from the Tiffany Diner a few weeks ago.

Maybe that was just me 😂😂😂

What might your crystal ball say about a non existing owner, reservation within a few minutes of opening, who indicates yes for (and is willing to buy) launch edition?

My kiddo’s birthday party was scheduled for the 14th. He was turning 2.

Monday of that week everyone said “see you Saturday”
By Thursday, it was “maybe that’s not a good idea”
By Friday the 13th, I cancelled the party from my office and got an email to stay home “for two weeks”

….

I told my husband that’s what we have to get. Not because I like purple, but because that’s the only real color. The rest are shades of gray - boring!!!

I’m out of the loop though. What are we thinking in terms of timing for non current owners getting their hands on launch R2, if the deposit was made the day it opened? Any speculation?

We don’t need a new car.
We especially don’t need the $57k variant of a new car.
We said we’d never buy a first production of any car again.

Might we be trading in our Y for the launch edition R2 anyway? Yup.

I’m looking forward to the reveal, in part, because I’m very out of the loop and have seen/sought out zero spoilers

But glad to hear the positive tease
