Forget ".Com"; Welcome To ".Luxury" With Violin-Shaped Pools & Vitamin-C-Infused Showers

Tyler Durden's picture


With Thomas Piketty's book on inequality topping the charts among the book-reading common-folk, ambitious ex-bankers are enjoying the high-life in ways not even Gordon Gecko could have dreamed up. If greed is good, then this is better as former Lehman execs sell the first ".luxury" website domain names and ex-Goldmanites pitch "curated environments that optimize health" for home living with 'Vitamin-C-infused showers'. Of course, as one banker opines philosophically, "it's all about's important that people who have the capital are making it as useful as possible."



As Bloomberg reports, two former Goldman bankers (Jay Dweck and Paul Scialla) are launching Live Better Systems LLC...




















Piketty would be proud...






But it's all about balance... right?

The renovation of his stone-and-shingle house -- whose reverse-osmosis filtration makes his shower water “like bottled water” even if it lacks the Delos vitamins -- will cost $3 million, he said. He estimates he’ll spend an additional $3 million fixing up grounds that include the pool, a baseball field, an outdoor kitchen and a movie screen.







We suspect none of these masters of the universe turned luxury brand creators ever thought to thank the one who is really responsible for their 'success'... Ben Bernanke (and Tim Geithner).

Not a mention of whether or not said "capital" is stolen or not.  One must ask (if one has a conscience)... is it moral to erect mansions for mafiosi, whose fortunes are gained from the blood and suffering of others?  Those who willingly serve the criminals and profit thereby are almost as despicable as the banksters themselves.

I voted for Ross Perot because I saw that both Bush I and Clinton were douchebags, and I got the thing about the giant sucking sound.  I voted for Obama because I had a small hope he was different from Bush II and McCain was not a viable option.  I was wrong about Obama and freely admit it.   I voted for Ron Paul the next election even though I do not count myself a true libertarian (at least he would end the Fed).  I don't believe in big government.  I don't believe in no government.  I believe in a social safey net.  I don't believe in endless welfare for takers.  I believe in the need for a national defense.  I don't believe in military bases all over the world.  I believe in capitalism, but I don't believe in pure free markets because of oligarchs and sociopaths.  I believe in public roads and airports.   I believe that the Fed should be ended.  I believe that private charity is not sufficient to overcome poverty.  Mostly, I believe that the problems facing us are extremely complex and there are no simple solutions.   Oligarchs have taken over our political system and our media.  Competing oligarchs exist all over the world.   I don't begin to have an answer, but I'm sure as fuck that most ideologies don't have one either.

Add:  "I think Harbanger needs to stop viewing the world in the matrix of left and right wing."  90+ percent of Americans were against the bank bailouts.  That includes all flavors of the political spectrum.   They did it anyway, and then they sold it back to the people like a used tampon, using your right wing/left wing paradigm as a base of attack on the reason of the people.  The people got it for a brief period of time, but then they were propagandized right back into the matrix.

I'm still trying to figure out how you could vote (with everything you just said) for THE MOST socialist senator (outside of Bernie Sanders) we've ever had.

Was it because of the slick marketing (Hope-N-Change) campaign, he was just younger and less experienced, had never met a payroll in his life, because he picked Biden as Veep (lol)?...I just have to know...

And Perot was a nut before his time...look up Perot/warrantless searches/drugs/guns.

I was still in the matrix when I voted for Obama.  I thought a black guy from humble beginnings who made it to the big show would fuck some things up.  I was totally and completely wrong and will never vote Red or Blue again.  As for Perot, he had issues but I totally agreed with his message about free trade.  He was right about that, by the way.  I had no idea about his stance on warrantless searches because what I knew I learned from MSM.  As for Paul, I would have been happy if he'd won because I agree with him on a lot of things and I'd rather worry about the things he and I disagree about, then the oligarch rule we have now.   It took me 47 odd years, but I now get the whole election thing is a sham.

Sounds about right. The irony of it is tremendous. Expecting a cop making 200k with a 150k pension and free healthcare for life at 53 to stand in front of a bullet for some helpless rich dude when it matters.

The standard fare cop doesn't make 200k a year, not even in NYC.  They are just as much a victim of the social collapse.   The ruling thugs have their own private security forces.  If anyone is gonna pop a cap in their head when they don't see it it's gonna be private.

The average cop near me makes over 100k. Throw in their healthcare etc. and you are close to 200k. Throw in the 200-300k lump sum gift. Throw in the 100k plus pension at 53. This is assuming they don't stub their toe on the way out and get 150k tax free disability. 

The ruling thugs hire private security, that is true. That is also ironic because the first thing that private security does is call 911.

This conversation was originally about cops. You questioned me about their salaries and I illustraed my point. You then brought this around to private security for the wealthy. I stated my point which I totally stand by. The wealthy hire private security which is a total fucking illusion and when push comes to shove the first thing they do is call the cops because they don't want any liability. You attempted to belittle my point and when I asked you to back yourself up you bailed. Now you are talking about special forces outside the gov protecting them.

As much as i do not like your tone (you come across as an asshole), I have to agree with your view. Those private security forces will bury the bodies of the "offenders" (whatever the offense might be) right next to the bodies of the children they abduct, abuse and disappear. No 911 involved there. Only wannabe big shots would hire wanna be bad asses that call 911 when anything happens to secure them. At a certain level on that ladder, you live above all laws and therefore do not require law enforcement of any kind.

Cops make 200K?

A top-scale Suffolk County police detective's pay could reach more than $227,000 by 2018 based on the latest contract passed by the county legislature and County Executive Steve Bellone.

The eight-year Suffolk Detectives Association pact, approved unanimously by the legislature in December, covers 344 members and will allow some detectives to make as much as $227,998 when overtime, longevity...

The report from the Empire Center for Public Policy shows the highest average municipal salaries led by the villages of Sands Point, averaging $91,000 for general employees, and Amityville at nearly $176,000 for police.

I think Fonz was including benefits.  Salaries for experienced cops in big cities are well north of $100K.  Add health insurance, pension, and other perks and it's the equivalent of something close to $200K private sector.  But lest we judge, the real problem is that wages of the private sector have stagnated for 20+ years.  Public employee compensation in large cities more accurately reflects the cost of living for jobs that require some training.  The trillions that flow to the top in the private sector do so at the expense of the private middle class.  But of course the solution pushed by many is to bring the public sector workers down to lower wages because apparently misery loves company.  And I have no dog in this fight.  I am a small business owner, take no money from the public sector, and never worked for the government except for one summer interning for a U.S. Congressman.

Correct I was throwing in benefits. Up until recently the first thing any H.R dept did when hiring someone was take their base (say it was 65k) and say "including what we contribute for benefits, that makes your salary 80k" or something to that effect. So I don't understand why we exlude that when it comes to govvie employees.

With that said, If we hung the bankers upside down, I have a feeling enough would fall out of their wallets to give some love to the private sector and keep things in line for quite a while.

So you're saying it's fair for taxpayers to fund salaries/benefits much, much larger than their own?

No, I'm saying that private sector salaries are grossly disproportionate to the income of the oligarchs, and that instead of being angry that public sector workers earn a living wage, the private sector should be angry that it is not.  But we're all Chinese now.  IchPhoners.

Another exhibit that shows that the "rich" do not know how to create wealth.

Question: who on ZH is a wealth creator?  I mean someone whose contribution is net energy positive.  Is everyone a taker?

Get in on the debauchery, folks.

Open a specialized bathhouse for people to um, do what people do in specialized bathhouses.

Oxygenate the water for men’s stamina.

Infuse the water with alum for the lady parts.

Great, more fodder for my wife to threaten divorce over since she has to bathe in a flouridated infused shower and swim with the kids in the community piss-infused pool. God, I feel like such a winner considering I worked my ass off for 30+ years to give her the luxury of doing both.

If you want to fuck with a rich person, fire 12 gauge bird shot at the windows from a long distance. Bird shot has enough energy to crack glass but not enough energy to risk hurting anyone. it's really like a high powered bb gun.

Metallica sued their fans for illegally downloading their albums via Napster. They deserve all their wealth and riches by being bathed by fans via vitamin c infused urine.


*I still listen to Metallica. Haven't bought an album since gives me fuel, gives me fre, gives me that which I desire while I take a dump every morning.

These cunts should pay everyone every time they use a road/bridge, etc.

I'm sensing your circadian rythms are pulsing toward the orange in your aura. Echinacia tincture applied to your buttocks, warm, in a compress while listening to Yani or Kitaro is recommended.

Vitamin C showers...for the love of God...

I look forward to the day when I can rent one of those places for the night. I'll spend the night drinking Old Milwaukee and smoking cigarettes. Then I'll plug the toilet with towels, stuff dead carp behind the pictures, between the mattress and boxspring, in the drawers...then room service, and off to the pool for a quick dip before making my getaway...
I'll leave the poor maid a seriously great tip, of course.

How do they know Vit C infused water is not harmful?  And microbes in air/water are not beneficial/essential for our health?  Once upon a time the poor labored under the sun, were physically active all day long, and ate lots of carbs/veggies, the only thing they could afford.  And the rich shunned exercise/luxuriated in their beds, ate high fat food, protected their skin from the sun and suffered from gout/heart attacks/diabetes.  In fact back where I come from, a paunch was called "money stomach".

" that describes lighting built around circadian rhythms..."

Okay, that's a good way to support optimal health.  Very good!  Bravo!


Now, when is some knucklehead with a bag of money and a need to make an "impact" gonna design a web browser, and/or define a protocol, that allows circadian-friendly browsing!?

I mean browsing with control over the brightness of the screen background... I mean being able to go to dark blue/green/whatever background and not have half the page contents disappear or wash-out.  I mean not having an look at a glaring bright screen when you need to get some work done right before going to sleep.  Ever try to get to sleep after having the back of your eyeballs seared by white hot web pages?

I don't know how many times I've brought this up ... no one listens - I suppose your average hacker/coder/"software engineer" is so whacked-out from staying up at all hours that they have no idea... maybe that's it.

Whole house air filtration and reverse osmosis are an excellent way of avoiding environmental pollution. We must protect our precious bodily fluids so that our pineal can decalcify. They didn't mention that our properties have an entire farraday cage and a complete block out of electromagnetic radiation and a heavy ground to copper for a EMP attack. Heavy ballistic doors drop at the moment such a strike occurs or if the p wave of a nuclear attack is detected. We also feature a continually recycling nutrient production system with ports that terminate at sanitary nipples in the full spectrum illuminated day room where you are suspended on a zero g membrane with nano sanitizer scrubbing bubbles.
