It just happens that a lot of the people in those categories are Gen Z. The way to cut through the "Gen Z" stare is to be kind and sincere, and not performatively so. And the way to eliminate it is to pay people more.

I've been thinking about the "Gen Z stare" and I don't think it's just generational.

I think the "Gen Z stare" is more of a class issue; one of socially exhausted and financially anxious minimum wage workers fed up with the performative societal skit of toxic positivity.

Israeli rail is deeply cursed too, you can see some in this photo. It all follows freeways and is like if every line was a Red Line, if that makes any sense.

"""wasting water""" in the great lakes or mississippi river watersheds is a moral good because you're sending the water back to its happy place.

you're freeing it, it gets to go home. it's okay to leave the tap running.
