Mostly true, but there is also the option of coming via Staten Island on the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge.
If you found the economics portion of this article interestingly, I would highly recommend the EconTalk podcast episode "Munger on Recycling"

It's not really the same thing, because (assuming a positive ROI) dollar cost averaging will always end up better off than lump sum investing (assuming the same amount is invested).

Re:EpiPen Price Rise Sparks Concern for Allergy Sufferers on Monday August 22, 2016 @10:25PM (#12340949)
How is this lowering the quality of the conversation? This is an insightful comment with a relevant video that shows that each Epipen actually contains 4 or 5 doses of epinephrine. Certainly relevant, as we are discussing how people nationwide are struggling to obtain enough of this drug.

Also, I would hardly call a link to YouTube "a mystery link to a random place on the web".

If you are truly natty, it would be absurd to call a 400 bench and 585 dead "not terribly impressive".

Btw, crazy gains. You look big in that second pic
