“People have not accessed the equity in their homes,” Whitney said. Advertisement“The issue that it leads to is more sellers, fewer buyers,” Whitney said. “I think you’re going to see a bifurcated housing market where you see continued strength in some areas, and then disproportionate weakness in others,” Whitney said. AdvertisementThe obvious question that follows is which real estate markets will be best for buyers and which will favor sellers. In October, Whitney cited Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania as examples of states where property prices could plummet , especially in rural areas.

“It’s a mishegas,” Whitney Siegel (Emma Stone), a convert to Judaism, says to her husband, Asher Siegel (Nathan Fielder), as they do a good deed for a needy family. “Mitzvah,” Asher corrects her. “Mishegas means something else.” (It means, roughly, “craziness” in Yiddish.) “The Curse,” which has its streaming premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime Friday and its on-air premiere on Showtime Sunday, is also something else — several things else. Above all, “The Curse” is an unnerving, erratic, dizzyingly original exploration of the fine line between mitzvah and mishegas.

☆ Whitney Museum Sells Breuer Building to Sotheby’s for About $100 Million

The deal — which Sotheby’s and the Whitney refused to confirm in response to queries from The Times in April — finally resolves the fate of the Breuer building, which has hung in the balance since the Whitney moved down to the meatpacking district in 2015. Would the Whitney ultimately take back the building and operate uptown as well as downtown? Would the Breuer building end up as some wealthy person’s private residence or a fancy retail store? What was the Whitney without Breuer? But Lauder ultimately became a convert to the new location and it was named for him: the Leonard A. Lauder Building.

India’s Go First has gone into bankruptcy – the country’s second airline to do so since 2019. Its subsequent public and messy spat with engine suppliers and lessors will have ripple effects across the industry and abroad. Go, the country’s third largest airline with a 7% market share, blames Raytheon Technologies-backed (RTX.N) Pratt & Whitney’s “faulty” engines. A global industry association, Aviation Working Group, has put India on a watchlist for violating global conventions on repossession of airplanes. The trouble at Go may not put them off but it promises some extra turbulence ahead.
