“Here's the net worth each generation says you need to be considered wealthy in 2021:
Millennials (ages 24 to 39): $1.4 million
Gen X (ages 44 to 55): $1.9 million
Baby boomers (ages 56 to 74): $2.5 million” apple.news/Acs0df7F9SHiqt…
a dollar in 2001 is now $1.5 today. And we are about to feel the Krazy Kovid Krash. So maybe double those dream numbers? kiplinger.com/economic-forec…
What the rich worry about. War and the impact of wealth inequality ain't at top of their list. Download: elliman.com/resources/site…
I have been noticing wholesale increases of items that have no reason to be dramatically increased. I am going to guess that price resistance dropped or shifted during the pandemic and manufacturers are taking advantage of that. nbcnews.com/business/busin…
Housing prices are whacko. Very limited inventory and cheap money means now is the time to sell your house and move to that shithole retirement paradise you dreamed of. Like Italy. wsj.com/articles/u-s-h…
Yeah Italy. While beachfront property in Somalia is getting pricey, Italy is looking for a few good WFH expats.ft.com/content/9ba179…
Buyers in Somalia and Kenya are being priced out by al Shabaab laundering their money into real estate. Afghanistan still offers great deals tho. nytimes.com/2020/10/11/wor…
I went shopping for real estate in Kabul back in the day. There were some amazing old dark and damp '20s mansions along with gaudy new whorehouse looking monstrosities. Back then all the PMCs and NGO's bid up everything. Now you can get serious deals. afghanbazar.com/houses-apartme…

Anyone getting Afghan deja vu? Dostum is the Afghan leader who defeated the taliban. Not Masood. The Panjshiris waited until the surrender to advance. nytimes.com/2021/05/14/wor…
I set up AfPax, a ground network of 1200 people because......there was no reliable source of ground information in Afghanistan and the tribal areas. The interesting thing was that the US agenda built the corrupt centralized system that the taliban are destroying.
It's like we have no institutional memory of how things get done and when to leave.
I guess Melissa Carone, Anna Khait and Tarah Price all wanted to be famous . "Explore Talent" should be renamed. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
Melissa starred in a popular video.
Tarah wrote a cool story "Do you think it is strange that a Chinese sex spy reportedly infiltrating American politics isn't front-page news? muckrack.com/tarah-price/ar…
Many weight loss, get rich, cancer cures, and even Trump multi level pitches are all the same con run on the same demos by the same people. Welcome anti-vaxxers to the multi level marketing fleece. This guy also sold home cancer cures. h/t @WendySiegelmanapnews.com/article/anti-v…
"The 31-Day Home Cancer Cure. This simple, at-home protocol is helping stage 4 cancer patients recover in as little as 31 days. My name is Ty Bollinger. I knew hardly anything about cancer until it killed seven members of my family," amazon.com/31-Day-Home-Ca…
There is a fascinating correlation between the Trumpundits and odd products. infowarsstore.com
The Prince of Fuckery is known for two things. Pitching Dr Evil PowerPoints to assholes and 2) fucking them up so badly you swear it was a script for comedy caper flick . And I suppose 3) ending up on the front page of the New York Times nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/…
Now I say "caper film" because even the secret spy at mommy's ranch in Wyoming said Veritas was too stupid to train, or funnier, British kinda of insult words to that effect. splinternews.com/project-verita…
Goldman and Mazzetti kinda forgot that McMaster, Mattis and others were blocking Erik's mercenary/robber baron dream of killing/looting Afghans with his version of the Flying Tigers, East India Company, Rambo, Marshall Plan and Army in a Box toys. reuters.com/article/us-war…
Social media must have doubled in size over the last week. Mostly with those nicely designed factoids and Joe Q Public posts repeating hashtags and identical talking points. No mention about Israel creating Hamas tho. theintercept.com/2018/02/19/ham…
Israel does a good job of flooding all avenues of media to block out competitive or non-structured content. That has nothing to do with the actual conflict its just an expertise on working the media to define the narrative early. A good study in PR. huffpost.com/entry/how-isra…
Regardless of the content the narrative continues.
But wait...there's more. ASOG's Texas Nexus is part of the old Lincoln Group posse (the Iraq Disinformation crowd) that includes Mrs Joe Burkett and former and current Flynn and Rudy fuckery folks. Faux Antifa in the house. thedailybeast.com/lara-logan-the…
