(Based on a true story):

Your father died of liver cancer when you were 1 year old. Shortly before his death, he wrote you 19 birthday cards, one to be opened on each birthday from age 2 through 20. You are unaware of the existence of these cards, however, until age 14, when your mother gives them to you. What do you do?

  • Read all the cards up to age 14, but then refrain from opening and reading the remaining cards until each birthday has arrived (1 card per birthday)
  • Open all the cards and read them all at once

If I were walking down the street and happened to encounter our current US President, DJ Trump, and I were to give him one of Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes:

  • Oh, snap, you burned Trump good!
  • Hey, if it’s OK for Elon to do it, it’s OK for others to do it…
  • You’re getting into some shaky territory here
  • You’re kinda an asshole, but Trump deserves it.

You are mayor of a city like Los Angeles or New York. One day, an eccentric billionaire, one of the richest men in the world, announces that he intends to crash your city’s housing/rent market to make things affordable for the poor and middle class. He will build hundreds of thousands of apartments and rent them out at dirt-cheap prices to tenants. (There are measures to prevent cheating of the system.) By doing so, suddenly houses in the city will be worth much less in sale price than before, and landlords will be forced to drop rental rates. Landlords, banks, investors and owners are screaming bloody murder, but tenants and poor-middle-class folks are cheering. It will be an enormous shakeup for the local economy in ways both good and bad. As mayor, you have the power to approve or stop the plan.
