[rug]

Please join us on Dec. 31, 2016, at 10 p.m in Washington D.C. at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, 1518 M Street, NW. – the site where the funerals of both Rosa Parks and Frederick Douglass were held. If you're not in D.C. you can watch the service on the Repairers of the Breach livestream. We also invite you to register to attend the teach-in from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

1. Not being poor myself, I am STILL staggered by the amount of wealth on display here.

The woodwork. The stone carvings. The intricate woven and in some cases, gilded cloth. Marble work.

All of it, is quite staggering in cost.

One wonders, what percentage of the wealth on display here was paid for by which social class and why?

I wouldn't be surprised to find the middle class and the poor foot the lions share of the bill, but I wonder if they realize it?

2. I don't see any BMWs though.

You'll find the history of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest continuously black-owned property in D.C., and its construction, where tonight's Poor People's Campaign is being held, here:

You may also find interesting that this church was the site of the funerals of Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks. I don't know how much was spent on either funeral.

Meanwhile, the event is streaming live now at the bottom of the page here: http://www.breachrepairers.org/

Maybe you can tally up the costs while watching.

Happy New Year.

3. Nor any fifth ave window seats.

Well, maybe your fifth Ave window was 80% depreciated when you got it, I don't know.

Seems to be multiple venues going here, but I'm glad to hear the costs were amortized over a long period of time.

4. With that, you may claim your award for most trivial deflection of 2016.

And if I read your attempt correctly, it was Madison Avenue, not Fifth.

5. Like the BMW.
