@TheDrugMoney I was a kid, 4-14 years old. What do I know? For people my age it was more about your parents and where you grew up. My parents were great. I grew up in the Cleveland suburbs....so I think everywhere I go is fantastic!

@Noahpinion Neither group of "leaders" deserves any support. There's no shortage of destructive behavior coming from the top.

@_themoman @Carnage4Life 2/3?
1/3 to 1/2, at least compared to Google salaries

@loic It's a business model failure though. Not really a tech failure. And in Paris at least the taxis work. And there's a subway system.

@lindsaystamp3 Currently in year 3 of doing just that (in Paris). Not always easy, but totally worth it.

@realEstateTrent Any big city in Spain. Tokyo. Paris, Amsterdam, London...but mostly during the daylight savings time months. In the dead of winter they are pretty quiet by 11pm

@RadioFreeTom @pokeyoaksbiker Exactly. My dad was born in 1930, the beginning of the Great Depression. Orphaned at ~4. Grew up in a Catholic orphanage near Cleveland and then foster homes. Eventually drafted into the Korean War.
How he managed to graduate from university and raise a family is beyond me.

@JeremiahDJohns @dieworkwear The moment was when he called that dude's tailor to verify how the clothes were made. He has receipts.

@DividendBreeder My first week in France I had to visit the ER for (what turned out to be) an intestinal infection. X-ray, blood, tests, CT scan, IV, and antibiotics. Very good care. Dated and crowded facilities.
My insurance wasn't valid yet so it was all out of pocket. 120€.

@jj_buckner Idt be so embarrassed if people thought I was only a millionaire 😉

[Michael Korcuska @mkorcuska]

@nikitabier Yes, all the charter about whether renting or buying is better financial misses this point. Do you want control of and responsibility for your space? Or do you want to (mostly) make it someone else's problem? That's a much bigger factor than the $$$.

@HarryStebbings That's almost 3M pretty year. Highly doubtful.

@bencasnocha Yes, never.

@BayAreaREMatt I know that building. My MIL lived there. Great building, great location.

@rhymes_melody Hey kids, I'm going out to Starbucks for about an hour. See you soon!
