Things that fascinate me. |
I like learning about how things work. I love the back story. I adore sub-cultures. I have a tendency to try to read everything and then pull out the funniest, most insightful, cleverest, pithiest items for the people that I love. Instead of dealing with my onslaught of gchats and tweets and emails- consume on your own time. And then lets talk about it. Preferably over beer. |

Notes When A Twentysomething Feels Old « Thought CatalogYou’ll begin to feel old when you swap coffee for tea, concerts for books. When your childhood home is sold. When everything you own is crammed into a rental. You’ll feel old when your youngest sibling can join you at a bar, when you look forward to spending the day with relatives. When you spend the holidays with friends instead of family, it’ll feel liberating but it’ll also feel like the death of something important, something you never knew you’d miss.

"On a bitterly cold weekday evening in November, the cozy, wood-beamed pub was packed. As bartenders poured pints of North Carolina-brewed beers (the only type on tap), servers bustled among tables carrying cheese plates, juicy bratwursts and platters of fish and chips — traditional pub grub tweaked to emphasize local fare. By 6 p.m., a small crowd had formed in the doorway, waiting for tables."

I feel the only way I can adequately express myself right now is by using a poorly drawn pie chart.

Notes"Modernization has always caused some kinds of jobs to change or disappear. As the American economy transitioned from agriculture to manufacturing and then to other industries, farmers became steelworkers, and then salesmen and middle managers. These shifts have carried many economic benefits, and in general, with each progression, even unskilled workers received better wages and greater chances at upward mobility.
"
But in the last two decades, something more fundamental has changed, economists say. Midwage jobs started disappearing. Particularly among Americans without college degrees, today’s new jobs are disproportionately in service occupations — at restaurants or call centers, or as hospital attendants or temporary workers — that offer fewer opportunities for reaching the middle class.Really, really worth reading this NYT article that takes a single case - Apple manufacturing - and perfectly turns it into the big picture: Apple, America and a Squeezed Middle Class (via caro)
