Why don’t the police pull the liquor licenses from places like this? If a bar or club in Washington has just 2 fights and police are called, they can get their liquor license pulled. Double standard!

“I do. Because it feeds resentment, which doesn’t make us our best selves. Prevents us from thinking most rationally and acting most productively. Each community is going to think that the other one has it easier than they do when in fact they don’t. That’s the misperception.

You know when you’re scratching your head wondering how the economy seems to be going so well and yet inequality is getting much worse, and how that can be sustainable? This investor is saying it’s a global stock market bubble that’s going to pop soon.
There’s a lot of useless technology startups in Silicon Valley and Seattle. I don’t think they’ll survive. The major tech companies will probably layoff many employees when profits decrease. Where will those thousands of unemployed tech workers go? If they stay, they may end up homeless after not being able to afford their sky-high mortgage. If they leave, will they go back to live with mom and dad or hunker down in a remote/cheap area while living off of severance and savings?
Legendary investor Jim Rogers sat down with Business Insider CEO Henry Blodget on this week’s episode of The Bottom Line.
