> every simple, common social expense I don't think a $20 burger and drink is a simple, common social expense for everyone. Certainly not on a frequent basis.

Isn't that true for just about every activity? On a tangent, would you like to hear about my carbon steel skillets?

You may be suffering from a recommendation system flaw. I subscribe to several Substack newsletters and have no content similar to what you've described. Instead, I read mostly about economics and parenting.

You did well by saying, "it's important to note that the media class on both major political sides in the US have very similar incentives to act poorly and stoke knee-jerk fear." By giving examples of it, you're falling

It's not really fair to make an assertion that one asset will outperform another without giving a measure of confidence. I'm not asking that our advisor take leverage, but merely asking whether she/he has, to gauge confidence

Over the next decade, but not the next year? Are you so confident in this that you've leveraged and bought options to maximize returns?
