This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's hard to imagine great wealth. But Seattle's 'Wealth Walk' makes you feel it (m.kuow.org)

Purcell got the idea for "The Wealth Walk’" — which debuted last year but returned this month and plays through June 7 — during the pandemic, scrolling through viral videos that tried to illustrate massive wealth with metaphors.

For instance: If a grain of rice represented $100,000, how many would Jeff Bezos have? (Fifty-eight pounds of rice, it turns out.)

Wow. I’m a fan of tourist walks. Usually historical. It makes sense to make them activist style walks. Instead of waving flags wander around snapping guillotines around head offices and fancy houses.
