It's definitely dark. That young man went through SO much but still found the courage to memorialize his tragic journey seeking a better life.
We also have oodles of books here (all of them read). Currently only a couple of hundred after donating many of them.
Let me recommend another book about letters, which I found to be a fascinating, instructive read:
Galileo's Daughter - A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love
"Galileo's Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love by Dava Sobel is a 1999 book that uses the letters of Galileo's cloistered nun daughter, Suor Maria Celeste, to explore the life of the famous astronomer, his conflict with the Inquisition, and the relationship between science and religion during the Renaissance. The book highlights the deep bond between father and daughter, revealing Galileo as a man of faith and a devoted parent, while chronicling his scientific discoveries and his struggle to reconcile them with Church doctrine."
You posted several articles about mass evacuations of NYC.
None have happened and raising taxes won't change that.

In a place like NYC where state + city taxes already push combined rates over 50% for millionaires. IRS migration data from 2021-2022 shows NY losing over 60,000 residents to Florida alone, with an estimated $4-5B in foregone revenue annually from out-migration. A deep dive into 2025 NYC data revealed the city's highest earners (top 0.1%) fleeing with $14B in gross income"directly tying it to tax pressures and remote work flexibility.
Its going to get worse...
