An asset management associate at Citi whose mother was the first female executive at a major financial institution and who can draw on a family-owned real estate portfolio of 13 properties would be less likely than most to have this issue. That he ended up groveling at housing court is even more proof of how deep his lies were.

Folks who struggled financially at points in their life absolutely belong in Congress. We just don’t need this one in Congress.

Mine are a combo of GoToobs and Stax (both by the brand Human Gear) for things like shampoo/cleansers and Nalgene containers for things like mouthwash that need a tight screw top lid. Love them! Dishwasher safe and BIFL.

In fact, I lost a few caps to my GoToobs and emailed Human Gear to ask how I could buy more, and they sent me a bunch for free saying that it is part of their lifetime guarantee.

The design of the Stax is nicely space-saving.

If you have a dishwasher, Neti makes stainless steel insulated bottles that are dishwasher-safe. (I’ve had mine for many years and they hold up very well even with frequent dishwasher visits!)

I also have a Larq and love it, but it is a whole different lifestyle. It has a UV light in the cap that kills everything living in it so you only need to clean it once a month. (I do rigorously rinse it out more than that.). It is, let’s say, an investment piece of a water bottle but it has been worth it to me because I have used it a TON.

We got a set of All-Clad stainless steel for our wedding 15 years ago and it is all still in perfect shape and we know we’ll have it forever. Made in the USA and sustainable (in that, I plan to have it forever and maybe it can even be passed down after that).

We registered for a 10-piece set but in retrospect I’d probably have just gotten open stock instead. Some of our pieces from the set never get used, but we’ve bought a couple extra of our most used pots along the way.
