A $1 Million value seems high if they were each grossing $1 Million a year. Timing, as you point out, is everything. There have been several very sad stories about NYC cab drivers committing suicide because they are so deeply in debt from purchasing those and now the bottom has fallen out of the market for them.
There was an authentically cute thing during the inauguration where Barron was seen playing peek-a-boo with a baby. I feel bad for the kid, I really hope he doesn't turn out as evil as the rest of them (not Tiff).
This is the part I don't get. Like, would you rather be a joke candidate who would never win a single state and will wash out in the first months of the primaries, or would you rather go down in history as the shark lawyer who brought down the president?Makes me wonder if somebody bought him off.
Maybe... Although the medallions were theoretically worth $1 million each -- I left that out because the real valuation isn't clear. The value of the medallions cratered when Uber and Lyft came to NY and NJ, and the article doesn't give details on when the loans went through.
It's that way still, but a key rub can be over the size of the venue. We used to gig (jazz) at a place that had a bar space within a much larger restaurant. The owners wanted a license to cover ASCAP fees in the bar area only. ASCAP insisted on one that covered ALL the restaurant area, at a much higher rate. The venue pulled the plug on about two months of steady gigs rather than fight ASCAP's suits, so we got boned hard. I really don't miss the music business!
Once lost a bunch of gigs when ASCAP and a venue got into a pissing contest. As per usual it was the musicians who got hosed. I'm sorry- Miles has been dead nearly 30 years. Who is ASCAP sending his royalty checks to today?
a few years ago, The Grey Lady turned into Mrs Bates from Psycho
The "we never thought to check Jayson Blair's stories" NYT?
She's in the UK just now doing the rounds of tv shows. She was supposed to be on Celebrity Big Brother but pulled out for some reason.

Cohen saw those "get your side hustle on!" ads from Uber, and misinterpreted them.
I am confused why a prosecutor would not bring tax and fraud charges against a private citizen before an election? This is a thing?
The "Starr's Whitewater investigation is totally legit, which is why we're uncritically publishing partisan leaks" NYT?

All the attention and "fame" has gone to his head.

So did a recent US predisent.

Notice how we don't hear anything about Stormy anymore now that Avenatti has decided he wants the spotlight for himself?
