In a sense, society sold out


Everyone’s got to eat, and it started getting a lot harder after 2000 and especially after 2008. Gen X could afford integrity.

I’m reminded of the scenes in My Fair Lady where Eliza’s father comes in to money, and he’s lamenting that he can afford “middle-class morality.”


I feel that statement is still hedging too much.

Society sold out.
