Always in the right place at the wrong time. Or something like that...

State police said Colin Davis McCarthy, 38, had been chucking wads of 
$100 bills from his car’s window along Interstate 5 in Eugene, Oregon, on Tuesday, causing other drivers to slow down and collect the unexpected windfall, Oregon State Police said. 
After troopers located McCarthy’s car, the generous motorist told them that he was “doing well and wanted to bless others with gifts of money,” Oregon State Police told KVAL-TV.
Troopers, who were worried that people looking for cash in the dark on the interstate could cause an accident, managed to convince McCarthy to stop tossing the cash.
 

He estimated that the spread around roughly $200,000 that night, which he had procured by emptying his family’s bank account.

Every tourist who goes to Rome most likely goes to throw money in to the Trevi Fountain. I know - I've done it myself. It really is an amazing place, and if you do go there, right across the piazza there's a really cool little outside cafe'/bar that's perfect for babe watching. 
Anyway, D'ja ever wonder what happens to all the money that goes in to the fountain? Don't even think about reaching in a grabbing some - they lock your ass up for ten days just for trying. No, all that cash goes to a catholic charity - upwards of two million Euros a year. Nice work if you can get it.

Landlords and Developers pumped billions into apartment buildings during the pandemic. That bet could now go horribly wrong.
 
 The deals were often based on the assumption that rents would continue to increase. But rents are flatlining and expenses are increasing, leaving landlords to face big losses.
I know that just in my area - within maybe a five-mile radius - they've probably built/added 1,000 (no kidding) rental units. And damn near every one is fully rented. Rents in this part of No. Central Florida run $1,600 - 1,800 a month for a one bedroom apartment on a one-year lease. And the motherfuckers just keep on coming. I'm gonna have to move further out in to the country pretty damn soon. Juss' sayin'...
