from wikipedia:

the red inverted triangle was the badge that political prisoners in nazi concentration camps had to wear. the nazis chose red because the first people to have to wear it were communists. besides communists, liberals, anarchists, social democrats, freemasons, other opposition party members, and unapproved religious groups also wore a red triangle. many red triangle wearers were interned at dachau concentration camp.

the report released today shows that hawaii's median household monthly rent last year was $995. only three other states had medians above $900—california at $973, new jersey at $935 and massachusetts at $902. a year earlier, hawaii's median rent was $871, or $124 less, and was the third most costly rental market behind california and new jersey. "it's a scary time," said hector hoyos, a honolulu comedian who has been searching for a rental for two weeks. "prices are crazy." for the past year, hoyos has been sharing a rented kaimuki house with one bedroom and a den for $1,600. he said he intends to move because his landlord is raising the rent to $2,200 this month. "that's really high," he said. "i've lived all over the country. this is crazy."

"even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations. thus the individual, his freedom and reason, are the products of society, and not vice versa: society is not the product of individuals comprising it; and the higher, the more fully the individual is developed, the greater his freedom—and the more he is the product of society, the more does he receive from society and the greater his debt to it."
