Which is ironic because Rae Kushner - his grandmother - is a legend. She has gone through some things.

Now her grandson is wrecking Europe.

Would you elaborate why she's considered a legend?

She was certainly a victim and a refugee, of which we have many today, most being denied admission to the US. Are those all legends too?

She was in Jewish underground resistance after she escaped the ghetto, and that movement was responsible for saving a lot of lives. Sure, not a shockingly unique story in WWII, but she did better than these upward fail sons.
Present America is real estate developers all the way down.
Real estate, Crypto and AI make up the 3 legged stool of US investment (from my perspective).

In my area which is over 1/3 retired people this is where the majority of their investments seem to lie. Those who are simply relying on 401k or other investments are also at risk due to the lack of diversification. Since their investments are tied to those 3 things.

If any of the legs of the stool go out...the whole thing goes down.

You forgot Big Oil and weapon industry.
yeah big oil was here long before AI and will be long after that bubble pops

they still call the shots in many states and much of canada

Wait till you see the housing market in other Anglo countries.
Maybe it's not cheap but also not very available, quality is rather poor, you can rent it short term without any tenant rights?
Never heard of her. His father, the tax evading felon recently pardoned by Trump, is rather more well known I would think. (But hardly a legend)
well a legend he is, if we are to believe what former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said about what the pardon was for: "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he ever prosecuted as U.S. attorney.
