They have their greatest hits, it is best to stick to those.

About a year ago to go see “An Enemy of the People”. Great acting.

Get in the fucking robot versus don’t get in the car.

The Menzingers still play well in concert. “America, You’re Freaking Me Out” hits a lot harder now.

Wearing a suit isn’t the only way to show power.

Tech used to dress up to the same standards as other professions in the 60’s, with their rules for conformity. Some engineers realized that they were too good to need to conform, so they dressed down, daring their bosses to fire them. Given how valuable the good engineers were, they got to keep their jobs even though they didn’t fully conform to the dress code.

It became a statement of power. Meetings would often be decided on the person worst dressed because they were the valuable tech decision maker.

Fast forward to when Facebook is trying to get its IPO and Mark Zuckerberg is going into meetings with financiers dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. The financiers were all wearing suits, but Zuckerberg didn’t need to because they needed him more than he needed them. Zuckerberg didn’t need to dress up for bankers, bankers needed to dress up for him.

The only time Mark Zuckerberg wore a suit as part of his work was when he was testifying in front of Congress. Why? Because Congress had power over him and that power made Mark dress up.

So, a good example of wealthy fashion is Frasier Crane. He’s appeared in three TV shows across the decades. In Cheers and the original Frasier, he is typically wearing a suit. In the reboot, he isn’t. Same character, but the wardrobe changed over time.

I only wear a suit when going to see a client or certain professional events, which hasn’t changed since COVID. Only the CEO commonly wears suits to the office, but that is because they are commonly visiting clients and professional events.

People are still dressing down in the office, though. I started wearing a tie and dress shoes as required in the dress code. We’re at the point now where collared shirts aren’t mandatory.

Looking back on my childhood, I see that my Mom had anxiety issues and there were a lot of cases where she was white knuckling to get things done while having a panic attack. She had developed some maladaptive behaviors to deal with this, in part because mental health wasn’t a thing back when she grew up.

It sounds like your mom had her own maladaptive traits.

It is important to understand the context of who defined it.

It was mainly defined by queer people in various Latin communities as a self descriptor. LGBT acceptance within the various Spanish speaking communities in general is nowhere near universal, which explains why adoption of Latinx isn’t a thing.

I’d only use the descriptor if I knew that a lot of people there within earshot wanted to use that description.

Only the best for my Burbank Princess.

And, along with this, you have to be able to show that the writer(s) had access to this information while writing the script. To give you an hour long media analysis video to watch, here’s some Lindsay Ellis:

The summary of it was that animators saw The Thief and the Cobbler and might have used some of what they saw as inspiration for some of the character design in Aladdin, but the writer of Aladdin didn’t have access to the movie so Disney could credibly say they didn’t steal the script.

How rich do you need to be to deal with the legal fallout of getting caught drunkenly street racing?

A lot of them work for various non-profits as a way to support various causes. A majority of charities are run by the families of the wealthy.

A lot of high prestige but low pay organizations will have a lot of wealthy people working there. This includes museums, publishing houses, and other high art media.

You also have those who don’t have jobs exactly, but hobbies. They get into collecting enough of a thing to fill their own gallery. They have causes they contribute to on a part time basis. They may have a local estate where they get to pretend to be farmer.

It isn’t all going into business with Daddy.

It also doesn’t help when private train companies didn’t want to run passenger service.

No, my beard hair is strong enough to resist that kind of abrasion.

The American rail network was built mainly as private enterprise regulated by public agencies. This worked when rail had an effective monopoly on long distance travel, but fell apart when other modes could compete. When a major railroad (Penn Central) went bankrupt, the federal government relieved all private companies from having to maintain passenger service and the long distance trips went into Amtrak in the 1970’s.

Until Biden, there was little public demand for building out rail transit. The Interstate system built out a decent highway network and air deregulation meant that flights got very cheap.

For Tony Stark, being poor makes him more of a Peter Parker equivalent. Also, having a suit of high tech armor likely means he’s sourcing his components from some very wealthy companies anyway. I feel like owning the companies feels a lot more moral than stealing from them.

For Bruce Wayne, being poor makes him more equivalent to the Punisher. By himself, Batman has to be at odds in hiding his secret identity and, to some extent, getting lost in his alter ego. In the Justice League, Batman ends up being de facto leader a lot of times because that is because he is funding the organization and his leadership skills in Wayne Enterprises and up matching well for the Justice League.

A lot of people cheer for their family’s team even if the town they live in has a different team. So you might not cheer for your team, but you’ll cheer for the team you saw Mom and Dad cheer for when you were a kid.

China takes a lot of action to control its currency well above typical markets. This includes significant regulations on capital transfers outside of China.

It is a homebrew story, so I don’t expect a clean mechanical answer.
