@bethanyjbabcock I had a friend who was a caterer and her kids ate whatever she was making for her clients. She told me one time they were flying first class somewhere and her 10 year old ordered the beef wellington. The FA stepped back and asked her again. She got the last one.

@KevinHalter @NipseyHoussle Largely there's no place to downsize because every time there is a project proposed with smaller houses they show up to protest "the threat to their property values" and "it's in conflict with the neighborhood character." And can't figure out why there's nowhere they can move.

@TailsWindsFI @Levijameshere The problem with the heavy estate tax is that 1) you’re taxing wealth that you already taxed as income and 2) you penalize responsible and irresponsible heirs alike which only encourages them all to act more irresponsible before you take the $ away.
