It's largely a cultural issue, but also related to the nature of doing a big company merger at speed. A competitive deal might 'cook' for a year and then explode in a flurry of 20h/day activity for a week as it comes to signing. Bankers who are staffed on 2-3 in a row can suffer

Meanwhile in Manhattan, you get the illusion of prestige while you're abused by a series of coke fiend Managing Directors for 13h/day. Go home at 9:30 to slam 4 $25 cocktails and a THC gummy so you can collapse on the couch of your 600sqft apartment that costs $5k per month.

If you don't own the land the debt payments can quickly get ahead of you.
Old joke about a farmer who won $6m in the lotto. The local news asks him, "what will you do with the money?"
He says, "I reckon I'll keep farming until it's all gone."

I came across this little gem, listed for $100k, but do you see the catch?
The embedded labor in stone houses would be so costly in today's dollars that it is actually cheaper to have a specialized engineering firm....

I've always thought of McMansions as large homes made of cheap materials.
A huge new house, on a tiny lot.
Low grade finishes to maximize spend on square footage.
Dumb flourishes like double-height entryway or a basement wine cellar that don't fit the rest of the house.

If you ask a Brazilian where he is from you often get 'Minas gerais" or "sao Paolo". Indians will frequently tell you their nearest tier 1 city.
All Chinese tell you they are from Shanghai, because that is the most prestigious place in their country to be from.

In an M&A advisory scenario, the 2 management teams might have their respective bankers run 3-4 scenarios in a day as they get feedback about the other parties' bids and their standing in the auction.

It's self-reported though? It's not like the SEC hands out credentials. And nobody is going to quibble over a securities lawyer maybe not hitting the income threshold in the current year. The law just says "reasonable expectation" of earning above the threshold.

1) No plastic plates except for babies who still throw theirs on the floor regularly.
2) hiring a babysitter to go shopping makes no sense. What do you even need to buy? We have so much stuff already.
3) did you RSVP to that b-day party?

"Post scarcity" is nonsense unless the robot can also churn out established French vineyards and other high end real estate.

It’s going to be incredibly weird transitioning to a post-scarcity society.

The contracts were $0.04 yesterday, now $18.30.
They exited today for a 45,650% return...

I recall a thread from a short while ago about the problem with ranching in the Aleutians being predators.
Cows could handle the low temps, but were eaten by bears and orcas (grazing kelp at the beach) at an unsustainable rate.

We really should treat phones and tablets more like Gandalf treats a palantir. There are dark forces behind that black glass.
As long as the screen & its mirages play the central, mediating role in our lives, our relationships will be fractured. Our sense of our bodies will be incomplete. Our desires will be manufactured. Our reality will be a simulacrum where real people and love are shadows.

Friend's dad is a department head at a major hospital age 80. No real duties
He said, "Dad considers retirement but can't justify giving up his high salary & benefits. Figures at 80 he'd just be sitting home, so why not sit there & bank?"
His 50y/o deputy's probably seething
