Hi, hello.
I’m a designer in NYC.
Trying to figure shit out. I’m probably wrong about everything.

I’m convinced that two working class New Yorkers provide more economic benefit to the city than a single 1%er. The rich are here less, and their wealth is mostly offshore or otherwise untaxable.

Almost by definition, young people need to prioritize hope, ambition, and drive in order to achieve anything. It's not that they don't _believe_ in experience. It's that they're too young _to have it_.

America should really get a major education on how political alignments are a big, messy venn diagram of overlapping blobs, not a Team A vs Team B thing.
But this means understanding nuance so … not happening.

Watched my brother in law convince himself one of his kids was pro material. It was heartbreaking.

Totally agree. Calling them weird gets waaaay under their skin.
In their minds, they are the most normal, boring, traditional, bland, default people on the planet. Pointing out how they’re otherwise makes them so mad.

Spent the weekend with my twin teen nephews. One is fun and gregarious and hangs with adults. The other is the more “masculine” coded one, and he’s a pouty whiney baby.

The market stopped tanking so maybe the pressure was released for the time being.
Until the import/export effects hit stores and wallets…

I listened to a Douthat pod where he was promoting everyone being “religious” in some way, but the only framework he provided was a Christian one. Douthat, like most Christians do not know what religions are, but only understand being Christian or not.

Anyone having a way of live different than theirs IS what they consider a threat to their way of life. To them, happiness is no one else being allowed to choose differently.

It’s a safe bet for them, tho, isnt it? They break the rules when in power, safely assume Dems will follow rules when in power, then, under the next GOP Pres, break the rules again at whim.
