Researcher and reader of the urban life. Formerly known as an academic focused on tenants on that other site.
A young Eugene Debs took a job in that density and it was his political and social catalyst. This is referenced constantly in his papers and autobiographies.

It happens! Did you get looks? I can understand this as I only really understood this until I experienced Canada, where the middle and uppers institutionally mix but are apart. But you sort of learn along the way your class position here.

Had a similar experience at Third Degree in February. My general feeling is that high public sector or other technocrat upper middle class spaces or industries lead to the colonization of the mind for clothing as an expectation. You wake up one day and you realize that’s all you have to wear.

You've done it again with a book pitch about architecture, urban history, and deindustrial landscapes. "Rubber Spokes."

Wild, thanks for looking that up. It has to be exhausting for sure.

I didn’t actually know the overlap occurred until this morning. I had always thought or remembered Osheaga to be later in the summer.

Propaganda --hidden hand, the market, American way, that's the way it is, hard work, everyone gets a fair shot---anxiety "oh god, Sam Walton, if the people start getting this on the ground, we won't be needed."

I probably could find 19th-century examples, but these refrains are for me a 20th century propaganda and anxiety dialectic of material interests and the requirement to sustain the social order/hierarchy.

I am not 100p certain, but from what I’ve read a lot of the failure on 2020 has been centred on LL. Didn’t go to bat, and ends up hanging with Bailey in 2024? The can’t win without downstate framing, but you need Chicago pull problem.

Pritzker seems to have run away from his institute the progressive income tax effort during the LL years.

Great to hear! I need some positive mental visuals after everything that happened yesterday.
