Last Sunday they ran a one-page Your Five-Year Plan Before Retirement.
A key paragraph began, roughly, "Let's say you have $1.5 million in your 401k..."

god forbid the Times actually do the right thing, which would be issue a statement that said, in full: "It's not possible to be racist against white people, you absolute chucklefucks."

Especially since people land in fb jail for saying men/white people are trash but it's fine to threaten, dox or use slurs against minorities and women there. Was it cernovich and his minions enraging people about this?

What tone policing bullshit. Instead, the Times should have said gfy this is our hire, you can't shame us by accusing us of caring about equity because we refuse to consider it shameful and will say so, repeatedly, using all our communication skillsets. Instead of "We told this person who you hate and are sending death-threats to that she has been a very very bad girl, and will have to go to the time-out corner if she continues to tell the teachers that you threw rocks at her during recess. She knows better now, and you can throw all the rocks you want. You're welcome. Please read our newspaper please please please please"

liberals really need to stop falling for this racism-baiting. 90% of the people yelling about this are not concerned about "racism," they are angry that they or people like them get called out for racism and are jumping at the chance to call "hypocrisy."

Traveling on private jets is costly, but it may be the most efficient way to tour colleges. It is worth it to people who have more money than free time and no desire to pack into the family car for an interminable drive, said Mr. Henderson.
One of the newest tour services will be started after Labor Day by XOJet, a private jet chartering company, which plans to transport students and their families to five college hubs: Atlanta, Boston, Miami, New York and Washington. The service is being offered in a partnership with Mandarin Oriental hotels and Ms. Siegel.
The package can top $30,000 per trip, and can even hit six figures if families move among multiple hubs. Aware of the high price tag, XOJet is pitching its bundled service as less expensive than the individual costs of the flight, hotel and counseling.
