In the late 90s, I invested money in the stock market without knowing much about the stock I bought. AdvertisementThe stock market has recently hit several all-time highs. I have some money sitting in an investment account that I manage myself, and it is so tempting to buy some individual stocks. Don't get me wrong, the stock market can and does (for many people) give better returns than safer investments. I tried and failed at researching and buying individual stocks without the guidance of a financial advisor.

But I’ve no idea where those students will be 10 or 20 years down the road. And perhaps the greatest tragedy of all the drama around college admissions is the degree to which it obscures that transcendent truth. They’re honing the best kind of opportunism. They’re honing the worst kind of wastefulness. Where, in all the chatter about the Ivy League and all the debate about meritocracy, is the necessary attention to that?

Trump sued Mary Trump for giving the New York Times information for a 2018 story about his taxes. Mary Trump weighed in on the indictment in a blog post, in which she said there was "nothing he won't do to get away with his crimes," per Newsweek. Trump's attorney Alina Habba said that it was "no surprise" that Mary Trump violated the older settlement, per Bloomberg. Mary Trump will most likely appeal the ruling, Bloomberg reported. A representative for Mary Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, which was sent outside of normal working hours.

It's almost impossible to imagine a time when air travel was pleasant, much less enjoyable. Lost baggage, overbooked flights, outdated equipment, hidden fees, and disorganized staffing have fliers at their wits' end; consumer complaints about airline service have risen by 300% from pre-pandemic levels. Many of these measures had been put in place to improve safety following some rattling accidents in the early days of commercial air travel. So in 1978, at the urging of the economist and "inflation czar" Alfred Kahn, President Jimmy Carter enacted the Airline Deregulation Act. He added that "airline service, by any standard, has become unacceptable."
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers about “The Walking Dead” series finale, “Rest in Peace,” which premiered November 20. CNN —Forgive AMC, at least a little bit, for almost drunkenly celebrating “The Walking Dead” in its heyday by feeding audiences as much content related to the zombie drama as they possibly could. In its early seasons, “The Walking Dead” excelled in part because of its unpredictability, as the montage of characters who had died reminded the audience. Those plans later morphed into a limited series, but the sense that “The Walking Dead” was no longer the priority in AMC’s “Dead” universe had been pretty well cemented. Television is always hungry for another hit, and at its height “The Walking Dead” was the TV equivalent of a supernova.
