    So, yikes, there are actually rich people with worse taste that T***P? I didn’t realize this was possible.

    In a book I’m reading at the moment about the ravages of gentrification in New York City over the past 40 years …. “Vanishing New York” by Jeremiah Moss … the author recounts the story of how, sometime just before the 2007 financial debacle, the New Museum of Contemporary Art moved from Soho to the Bowery in shiny new digs that topped off a long period of sending real living artists and the junkies and the freaks into homelessness, but in the Museum’s gift shop they sold gelatin capsules filled with edible gold leaf, three for $275.

    Described as thus on the Museum’s website “Pure gold passes straight through the body and ends up in your stool resulting in sparkly shit!”, the Bowery’s nouveau riche crapped 24 karat turds, while the remaining losers still living adjacently in squalor with backed up toilets the landlords would not fix in order to “disincentivize” these folks out of their rent-controlled digs so their tenements could be razed and the land underneath “rationalized”, were sent packing.

    When my shit sparkles, it’s time to raise my marginal tax rates, not lower them.

      it’s a strange cosmic coincidence that the metal we most prize for decorating ourselves is also completely safe to eat.

      indeed. when you can literally flush gold down the toilet, you’ve peaked.
