This article dropped an hour ago. It's the result of an enormous, very long & involved investigation by Times reporters (linked in the article), so it's going to elbow its way into the Cable news convo again. Here's your primer... #SaturdayThoughts nytimes.com/2018/12/15/us/…
2- As requested I am threading this article. Bear with me, it may take a little time.... 🙃

3-"red-brick buildings scattered across Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.Those buildings have been home to generations of strivers, municipal workers and newly arrived immigrants. When their regulated rents started rising more quickly in the 1990s, many tenants had no idea why.

President Trump participated in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents, an investigation by The New York Times has found.
But The Times’s investigation, based on a vast trove of confidential tax returns and financial records, reveals that Mr. Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate empire, starting when he was a toddler and continuing to this
Much of this money came to Mr. Trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. He and his siblings set up a sham corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents, records and interviews show.

1/ Holy homage to my hometown: Coney Island, Brooklyn

Just GORGEOUS over-the-top prose, artful alliteration by EE Cummings written in 1926 Vanity Fair

2/ The incredible temple of pity +terror, mirth & amazement...fusion of the circus + the theatre....

...It resembles the theatre, in that it fosters every known species of ILLUSION.

...Whereas at the theatre we merely are deceived, at Coney we deceive ourselves.
3/ “miracle mesh, so to speak, with the theatre and with the circus...”

THE AUDIENCE IS THE PERFORMANCE...

1/ This week I had a stop in my tracks (personal) moment.

We are social primates. The big trade off in different social settings:

fit IN?

or

Stand OUT?
2/ On a long AM NYC walk to Lux office (from Tribeca to Union Sq) I thought about why people seek to stand out--whether in fashion, music, art, science, politics, startups, investing, writing, social scenes....
3/ I find often (not always) the same people who like mainstream music (Top40) also like mainstream shows (what everyone else is watching) like mainstream clothes (mall stores)--its of course the definition of "main-stream"...
