How many "Commoners" do you know that own entire apartment buildings? Seems more like the pastime of princelings and Princes to me. "Just a few million on a small passive income investment... Better hold it off the market for a bit to lock in the best rate make it grow."

I mean maybe I’m the idiot for trying so hard. @DeanPreston and @conniechansf get to write their own exemptions to tax laws while pretending to be Commoners Just Like You. It’s a great gig 💰

Makes a tremendous difference, to be sure! I use "princeling" as a class designation: accredited investors who can do something like buy an apartment building, invest in a hedge fund. Neither good nor bad itself; just means you have power. Matters most what you do with that power

Then you guessed very, very wrong 😄 I will likely never make it to the rank of princeling. Not on a Lyft driver's sub-minimum wage, nor likely any other job considering my age in this youth-obsessed town. I understand your defensiveness tho; we all know our own struggle best

Thank you! It's the nicest one I own, and when I enter Congress it's the first time I'll get to wear it, save a few failed job interviews over the years. Not sure what you're arguing here. Maybe you can explain yourself. No pressure though. 💙
