@AdamSinger I’ve said to many friends. parents and grandparents of zoomers threw away many career tracts by offshoring, spit on the trades as lowclass work, guaranteed debt for their children by incentivizing mass college, and now laugh at them as they look around and throw hands in air.

@xbtGBH Spot on. I’ve got college dropout friends who are bottom-mid of the totem pole but know their way around a street/in a drug deal. When we plan a trip to Europe their opinion means close to nothing. When walking around in North Philadelphia they become a de-facto leader.

@coldhealing You can tell somebody is performing for an audience via their clothing + book of choice. “What makes me look like a dark academic? What book fits a bar?” Also… bars are a horrible atmosphere for reading. Loud, pumped with pop hits, not many spots to sit or recline, low light.
