Fans of Taylor Swift have been shocked after it emerged that a contractor for the controversial Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was in attendance at her wedding.

...

It appears that Steven J. Demetriou, the Executive Chair of a company called Amentum Services was also among the crowd gathered to see the happy couple say ‘I do.’

Amentum Services is currently the sole contractor for ICE’s Camp East Montana, a detention centre in El Paso.

The artist has faced swift backlash for her choice of guests, including online commenters who have shared their dismay on social media.

That really depends on where you live. A million dollars where I live is enough to buy a house and start a retirement investment that might be enough to retire on in 10-20 years if you keep contributing to it and the yields are good.

Granted average house price for a modest house (1300sq ft) went from 200k to 800k in the last 10 years here....

I do know that housing has gone up everywhere. I think my real point is that for a smart person who is conservative in their spending, a million bucks is a ticket to a low-stress life where you can do the things you want to do and not only the things that you have to do.
