Funny story about Rod Ponton, the "Zoom cat lawyer" that everyone's talking about today.
I reported on him in 2014, when he was a local prosecutor used the power of his office — and roped in federal law enforcement — to harass a former lover. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/style/cat-lawyer-zoom.html
Real estate is a complicated financial product based on local labor markets with an embedded interest rate option that banks sell to retail investors all propped up by staggering amounts of government intervention

Talked to a very hot woman last night who had her bf sign a breakup agreement after moving in with him.
Apparently she gets ~170k if they split (to cover moving, new rent for a year, etc). Number doubles if he cheats, deal is off if she does.

Folks need to take a very close look with what is going on with re-domiciliation in Rwanda with @Kigali_IFC. With AFCFTA, this could really make Rwanda the Singapore of Africa. https://twitter.com/Kigali_IFC/status/1354463829137219584
