@WestsideLAGuy I'd amend that slightly to say, don't live there past 35 if you aren't there or clearly on your way to getting there.

If you're a man, don't live in NYC unless you're making at least $500K/year or in a clear trajectory to hit it. Otherwise, your experience will be a series of humiliation rituals with low ROI.

@realArtEdwards @hikingtheglobe0 It's not vancouver the boats in the foreground don't and can't exist

@hikingtheglobe0 That’s coal harbour Vancouver BC. The photo has been AI enhanced. I lead the acquisition and redevelopment of the Hotel Georgia Rosewood back in 2005. Incredible city.

Guess the city?

@dan_grice @AverageFan_Z Nothing magic about the third pick in this draft.

@AverageFan_Z So Canucks get the worse season ever and pick 6th. Nope.

CGY gets: 3rd overall VAN gets: 6th overall, 28th, 35th, 36th would you do it?

@AverageFan_Z Yes I would do it. There's nothing magic about number three this year. We need assets and 4 picks in the top 35 including the 6th is a good enough return to take it

@deepakThamizhK @zerohedge 150B in VC funding ? Tell me you know nothing about finance without telling me

@zerohedge Bold take from a man whose company once delivered a box of air and charged prime shipping. Amazon's good NOW but NYC schools didn't get $150B in VC funding to iterate.

Jeff Bezos: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, the packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it anyway."

@RomanPuglise I wouldn't say they are behind but they clearly need to keep working for a long time if they hope to have a comfortable retirement with two young kids

Client Scenario: Married couple. Both 38. Household income $620,000. $1.4M in 401ks and IRAs. $280k in a taxable brokerage. $180k left on the mortgage at 2.9%. Two kids — 6 and 8. They keep telling us they feel behind compared to their peers. What are your thoughts?

@BcarmB @mortimer_1 My assumption was from 2014 or so you are down in anything at the 4-5mm level or above but from 2012 at 3mm I might have assumed some appreciation

@bfgcpw @mortimer_1 Not at all; a massive housing bust is now well underway. That was an inflated selling price in 2012, too. It just seems "cheaper" compared to the cheap money-fuelled run up since then. Expect much more downside to come.

Almost back to 2012 purchase price in Vancouver, Canada 2540 W 45th Avenue, Vancouver, BC Bought 2012: $3,100,000 Just sold for $3,250,000

@BassiKaram Ridiculous take. Cale Makar is a hall of famer easy. Petey zero chance unless he executes a pretty staggering turnaround

Think about this. Petey had 2 bad years. And still has the most points out the 2017 draft class. Not bad to someone who sucks right? And that draft class has some studs. There is a huge opportunity for Petey to crush it this summer and come back better than ever. Gonna be awesome for everyone if he does that #Canucks

@Sportsnet650 @JamieDodd @RandipJanda This is bonkers. He's been criticized for lack of summer prep now for how many years? At some point you need to move on.

🗣️ If we are into year 4,5,6,7, and we're still talking about your preparation and practice habits it's time to move on. That's a character issue. 👉 Chris Higgins joined @jamiedodd & @randipjanda to talk about your best players having to be obsessed with getting better.

@JBudzelek Glogovac totally under the radar. Was surprised he didnt go Ivy initially. He'll do well there.

My first thought of a Penn starting lineup: PG - Levine G - Mohammed (Notre Dame) G - Glogovac (Cal Tech) F - Power C - Gerhart Lucas Lueth (3/4), Jay Jones (2) and Dalton Scantlebury (5) in the mix too.

I first mentioned this when Sir Mohammed first committed to @PennMBB but the Quakers have been loading up on skilled size. At Cal Tech (D3), the 6'6 Glogovac averaged ~24p, 7r, 2a and >6 FTAs per game, while hitting 32% of his 3PAs. Versatile big guard.

@DanRussellST I noticed that too, Dan. "we had bad years too" is truly a false flag. The diff is Sedins, once they had 5-6 years in the league to figure it out had NO bad years. EP has collapsed. Sedins maintained consistent all-star level play for a decade.

For example, were you satisfied with their answer on EP 40? I believe EP’s heard the same thing for 2-3 yrs. Comparing it directly to themselves doesn’t feel like a comparable. EP40 already put up big numbers. The twins hadn’t done so yet. Twins slow growth vs EP sputtering.

@DanRussellST I'd be shocked if this works out well. The Sedins are wonderful human beings but I doubt are cut out for this

My first impression? Not blown away by what I heard from the (nervous) Sedin twins. Forget debate whether co-presidents is the way to go — faced with their first major decision, they chose to stay safe with RJ rather than be bold with Gold and give worst NHL team fresh voice. (1)

@madatgod @kaitalkscanucks Daddy paid not him

@kaitalkscanucks i don't know, when you are riding on a huge private jet living the dream, most people probably would not take that moment to make fun of the guy paying for it all...

I spoke with one of the longest tenured Vancouver sports media members last night for a long time. I got the whole Garret story. He made a joke about Francesco on the team plane, nothing major, but a bit of a burn. It got back to Francesco and he decided to have Garret removed.

@alanb_mac @imacSportsnet You nailed everything except we were not a top 6 team 2 years ago. No. Top 10-12 perhaps

@imacSportsnet Sorry, can't read this bull shit. JR is the reason we are 32; when only 2 yrs ago we were a top 6 team. CAP mismanagement and several wrong trades, boo hoo, go home JR you did a terrible job.

Jim Rutherford. Why he’s stepping away, what he leaves behind. “Glad that I've experienced this. I hope the rebuild moves along quicker than some think. You can't put a timeline on it. But it's got a good foundation and going in the right direction.” sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ca…

@CoachDanGo I dont think "you dont take medications" at 80 is quite the flex you make it out to be. Yes a lot of medicine can be avoided through the years via making healthy lifestyle choices, but at 80, the vast vast majority will, or should be, taking some medications for something.

You're 80 years old. You don't take medications. You can pick up your grandkids easily. You're not afraid to go up or down stairs. You're independent and loving life. This happened because you kept a healthy weight, strength trained, ate whole foods, and prioritized sleep. Getting older is inevitable but being unhealthy is not.

@Canucks_Enjoyer @noahstrang_ No one's suggesting that. What we are suggesting is 2-3 years is not enough in all likelihood

@noahstrang_ Kings started rebuilding in 2019 and have made the playoffs consistently, Colorado rebuilt for 5 years and now look at them, panthers for 4 years, Montreal for 5. There is no reason to suggest, especially with current talent, that canucks need to spend a 7 years rebuilding

Want to know how the Ducks got so much young talent? They've drafted in the top-10 for the past seven consecutive years. Three of those picks were in the top-3. If the #Canucks want to build a similar talent pool, it's a long, long road ahead. #FlyTogether

@TheRickWilson Glad mine isn't due to be renewed until 2032

That'll bring down gas prices.

@FFT1776 Looks awful - anorexic almost

Demi Moore, 63 years old and stunning on the red carpet. Some people age extremely well🔥 Would you rate this look a hit? or too much? 👇

@nucks0 You forgot the most critical thing. NONE of this happens under current ownership. Until they sell, good luck. The most horrible, incompetent, meddling owners in all of major sports, and it's not close.

10. Accelerate out of the rebuild when the time is right. Don’t be prospect huggers like Steve Yzerman. When the time is right and young players are coming into their own, start surrounding them with more depth and talent. Aim to be a competitive team by 2029-30.

My 10 step plan to fix the #Canucks long term (a thread) 1. Fire Jim Rutherford (or agree to mutually part ways). Despite him being a savvy operator with HoF career, his methods are outdated. Hire a data-centric leader who has worked in smart organizations (TB, WSH) as POHO.
