| I see that as a broad trend. Very very few people have guiding principles these days. The "problem" with principles is that living by them sometimes means going against something we want right now. People don't want to concede anything, even for their own ideals. |

Everyone else is drowning. Try to imagine living on $60k, then think about the fact that that’s a good salary to a majority of US workers. | | |
