As a New York Jew, Philip Kalikman has an honorary PhD in complaining. He also has a real PhD in economics and a BA in math. He lives on the Upper West Side and thinks cities are humanity's greatest invention. He is the most capitalist of his socialist friends and the most social of his capitalist friends. (Also the most socialist.) He will cuss you out if try to pull some "you're not a real New Yorker" bullshit. When not ranting, Philip is a finance professor,^* the SEJ treasurer, and a mortal threat to your coffee supply.
