@dangillmor If they are 501(c)(3) and willing to register for trust donations (at, e.g. Schwab Charitable), then problem solved - you can even give anonymously.

One small financial community is thrilled with Twitter.

@jayrosen_nyu No disagreement, though one should realize that twitter will be forced to shrink. Why? Because the overpaid buyout is set against the current background of interest rates rising, capital contracting. Elon's irrationality just hastens the process.

It's not a witch hunt if there really is a witch.

Paragraph from WSJ story about beige -

“Beige got tossed aside when cool grays became a movement in interior design, around 2008,” said Mr. Smith. “When I was selling real estate in Texas back then, I saw this happen in houses that started being staged with grays instead of beiges, and people came and were going ‘Wow.’”

@randomroger To your list I would add (the admittedly quite rare problem of) oversaving and postponing income.

The problem of inflation, now often attributed to pandemic-induced disruption, probably has a deeper basis. In Barron's there is an interview with Felix Zulauf who predicts that after the Fed quells the current bout of inflation, there will come another surge even higher. Early signs of this are lower inventories in housing, higher used car ownership (@asymco numbers), low investment in infrastructure. Macro factors from deglobalization, anti-immigration, climate change impinging on agriculture, all contribute to this view.
