But these are the tiny plastic chairs you see in Southeast Asia right before you have the best meal of your life for $0.75. Small, but massive, difference.
This post is a reminder that so many folks working in P/E, IB, Consulting have spent their entire lives only learning how to have a career that they will short circuit the moment they have to introduce any self reflection into their mental algorithm. Only getting worse under AI.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
I know this is a popular topic but I'm the age James Gandolfini was when the pilot was filmed (35) and I don't know anyone who looks that old. Of hundreds of friends and acquaintances. Even the smokers, heavy drinkers, bad dieters. Not even close. Was it air pollution? Lead?
You missed your 2-week window to wear your Cool Little Spring Jacket because you were too lazy to pull a fit off. Third year in a row. How does that feel?
Not to go all Menswear Guy but the reason why Fleets (and JDay with Malbon) always looks off is because he wears his pants unnaturally low. Sagging relaxed fit, pleated pants is the quickest way to rocking a diaper butt.
Will never stop preaching about high-rise pant supremacy.
For everyone asking about Fleetwood’s pants… yeah, it’s the @lululemon Daydrift pleated trouser.
I’ve been wearing them a ton lately just to understand the hype, and honestly, I get it. Light, buttery feel, clean pleats that dress it up a bit, but still moves like straight-up sportswear. Multiple colors, different fits, full-size runs… they’ve got options.
