Nope - if I log into the New York Times and look at the real estate section for Sunday, March 2, 1975 (pg.294 if you have a subscription) you'll see an ad for a 5 bedroom (10 rooms total) on 5th avenue in the 80's for $150K that w

I think this issue is illustrated in a different way - the asset/wage ratio of the 70's/80's vs today... To take a yuppie example: If you went to work for a white shoe law firm or top investment bank right out of graduat

Except aren’t these convictions, not arrests?

Administering a checking account is not cost-less. Looks like SIVB’s return on assets is 1.87% [1] implying $467 of annual revenue for the account at $25k average balance. This is probably more or less break-even (maybe it’s $200?) - point

I’m always amazed at how little we actually know!
