“Rome wasn’t burned in a day.”
I like that line.
Spectacular essay! Thanks for posting it! I’m passing it around!
Ping!
Newts a side show at this point. In the end no one under 60 will vote for an old fat guy . Sorry .

The author is insane and/or an ignoramus. There is no apt available in the greater nyc area for $500, and if there is, its got rats and no heat. I live here - article came out in the NY Post last week on how much rents are citywide - pretty much nothing under $1,500 for a studio anywhere.
Now, back in the ‘60s & ‘70s, when butter cost a million dollars a pound, you could get an apt in the East Village for $125 a month. You could get a super duper luxury apt in an upscale neighborhood for $1,000.
Same in S.F.& L.A. - apts in Hollywood rented for $150. Now they are in the thousands. I’ll take the expensive butter any day if I can go back to 1970s rent.
Outstanding, Doctor. Well posted.
