    Comey is from an era where upholding institutions was considered paramount. In that moment, that’s what he was trying to accomplish and he felt that it was in the nation’s greatest interest to do that.

    Obviously it backfired. Comey is not a fan of Donald Trump and he later said that he was likely subconsciously influenced by Clinton’s win was a near-certainty.

    He shouldn’t be criticized for his attempt at being impartial and promoting transparency.

    Remind me who won in 2016? How do you think all those Bernie supporters felt about the election that was still very much influenced by FPTP dynamics.

    So an annual before tax income of $218,750 is considered rich then?

    I mean, yeah? Kind of? I’d say it’s at least lower-upper class, which some people may consider rich. But, again, in my head rich is more about net worth, not income. Once someone’s investments are working for them then I’d say that’s a key indicator.

    Well the $70,000 average recouped per person in this effort would certainly imply that those targeted are indeed “rich”, or at least high income.

    Obviously both can be true, depending on perspective. But being rich is a spectrum.

    If you’re a poor studen, the 40 year old who can pay cash for a car but cannot retire still may seem rich but could very well be firmly middle class.

    Someone in their 20s who never has to work is more likely to be considered rich by most anyone’s standards. But someone in their 70s who is living modestly in retirement would still meet your second definition but few would consider them actually rich.

    I think using net worth is a better measuring stick. In the US someone worth more than $10m is almost certainly living very well off and most would consider them rich.

    The New York Times previously reported that a Big Mac in New York cost 85 cents back in 1974.

    a simple Big Mac cost just $1.60 in 1986, according to The Economist, which introduced its Big Mac Index that same year.

    From this article.

    $225m only generates an extremely conservative $9m year in interest. I know I couldn’t live off such a pittance. Please have sympathy for this poor man.

    Thanks! I’ve never fully grasped the concept and this really helps.

    I’ve always heard it that observing was actually “measuring” and still wasn’t sure why that would impact anything but chalked it up to the quantum world being other-worldly.

    where everything was exactly how it seemed.

    I’ve own a half dozen pairs of Allen Edmonds but am wondering if there’s a similar company (American made and sourced) that are better/more comfortable/better value/ etc. Haven’t bought a pair of shoes in 5+ years so I suspect the market has changed.
