Now activists have a mobile tool to highlight inequality. The chanting of Occupy Wall Street seems so 20th century.  That's Homesnap. It's an app that allows anyone to take a photo of a house and automatically find out data ranging from square footage to, ah-ha, the market value. Here is the coverage in Tech Crunch. Here's a likely scenario.  The owner of Company X is accused of allowing unsafe conditions to exist in the workplace.

The Dow is down almost 300 points.    No one knows how far it will plunge by time the market closes. Or 2018 ends. Or what it will do in 2019 and beyond. And, those over-60 become equal. Mostly.   That will include both The Smugs and The Non-Planners.

People use their cell phones, excuse me — I mean mobile phones — excuse me, I mean smart phones — for more than calling these days.

There was no shame about being part of the mobile-park concept.  The mobile homes are gone. The West is different from the East.

Even high-quality content outside those two niches isn't often a money-maker. The New York Times suffered a loss in Q1. And the kind of cool content which is Huffington Post's signature on AOL has become a commodity.
