Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."






@KirstieMAllsopp @wesstreeting @BBCr4today People making out that landlords have got it super easy. Buy a house, rent it out and watch the money roll in from your yacht. People forget who has to pay the mortgage whilst it sits empty, who has to replace the roof in 5yrs, who had to pay for a new boiler etc


I don’t think people realize what an existential threat to civilization this is.


Gen X here... I've worked hard for 30 years to get where I am. I make good money, and I've earned it. I can afford a $28 lunch, but choose not to spend that much most of the time because it feels frivolous. Gen Z is on here complaining about why lunch costs $28, or why Chipotle or Jersey Mike's costs what it does. I get it, it's definitely more than it used to be. So adjust. Get water instead of a $5 soda. Find a local place that is more reasonable. Bring in a lunch from home once in a while. Solve the problem instead of whining and continuing to hurt yourself by spending that much money if you really shouldn't be.

How the hell did the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?




The Monterey Bay Aquarium charges $295 for a family membership or $125 for a single adult. With an EBT card, entry is free — and up to four guests get in free every visit. There is a ZERO incentive for these people to ever get off Food Stamps.
