I’m sick of you Lazy Layabouts refusing to buck up, pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps, roll up your shirtsleeves, rub on some elbow grease and fill in the hole your Social and Economic Betters dug for you!

Guard is probably from Blackwater or whatever they call themselves these days. He was hoping to shoot someone, but having the cops there stopped him.

But if the rich don’t take all the money how will they keep everyone else so poor?

FTFA, a house owned by billionaire hedge fund owner Stephen Cohen in CT. I bet he doesn’t appreciate having his spread fancy splashed across the internet.

I was going to say that . . . but then I realized that someone living in cardboard box in a third world country would say to me “why do you need that much house?” But at least we seem to use most of it, anyway. I can’t imagine how this guy can even visit half his house more than once a year, unless he jogs in it.

It’s one of the most unequal states in America; at the bottom is the opiod-plagued town of Bridgeport, where one in five residents lives below the poverty line; at the top is nearby Greenwich, where the super-wealthy hedge-fund managers have seen their incomes rise by more than 17% since the financial crisis.
