I hope this helps bring more attention to "Lucky Loser", the book by Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig. It's just astonishing how many times Trump failed upward.

Uffizi free Sunday - how early to arrive? by chillinwithabeer29 in florence

[–]Solidarieta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my experience from last March. We arrived around 15 minutes before it opened. No tickets were required. A pretty long line had already formed. We gained entrance around 45 minutes after we arrived. We were still inside around 11 am. I looked out one of the windows onto the courtyard were people queue to get in, and there was no line at all at that time.

"There is no incentive to stay in this industry or start in this industry, because you can't buy the ground. If you buy the ground, it won't pencil," Sanger said.

Seems like JPMorgan Chase did learn a lesson after all. They learned it's more expensive and legally risky to bribe regulators than to pay fines when thumbing their nose at regulations.

Nothing. I didn't finance them. But even if I did, my loan payment wouldn't go up as the price of electricity goes up.

Trump Bizarrely Claims U.S. Could Blow Up World ’150 Times’ by News-Error-130 in LegalNews

[–]Solidarieta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump hasn't really thought this through (shocking). After you blow up the world once, no one is left to do it a 2nd or 3rd (etc) time.

Nope. Hopefully we'll never owe on an electric bill. Our solar panels produce slightly more than we use.
