This one has it all.

Mom and three kids climbing into a 2-door crap Detroit car with the fold up seats.

Those creeky doors that the old cars used to have.

Driveway is just red dirt-no pavement.

Take the whole family to go buy shoes. The little girl gets a new pair--but only from the sales shelf.

Little boy has filthy tennis shoes that are basically falling off his foot. Total rags.

You can tell this was a major purchase for the family.

Total comes to $11.75 or something.

My parents were forward thinking boomers. They bought a Toyota Supra about 1982.

That mom was almost certainly born during the Great Depression. She's like 90+ now.

Admittedly, I probably haven't been to a department store in 5-6 years, but when I used to go I don't think I've had a white person helping me since like the early 1990s.

regardless of what people say, they aren't willing to pay X% more just to have smiling salesmen. we would rather have everything algorithmically optimized for the lowest prices by supply chain boltzmann brains

it was more a function of who was actually in the country and who was running the country than "how much more are they willing to pay, maury?" at the time

no, it was a function of everybody thinking the customer behaved one way (ie, what they *said* they value -- customer service, craftsmanship, blah blah blah), then walmart showed they behave the other way (give me cheap shit on layaway)

I think there's truth to this, but it's undeniable that the polite social fabric that once made general interactions tolerable have endured a decades-long unraveling.

Quick example: when I hold doors for women, it's a total crapshoot as to whether I get stony-faced indifference or a quick thank-you. And most people don't even seem willing to grab doors for others anymore. At the same time, things like the prevalence of panhandlers and pieces of shit who blast phone audio into plane cabins and shuttles has exploded.

Introduce race

Look at what white Americans will pay in order to not have black schools, neighbors, etc

They’d pay every dollar they have and do

The “people always want the cheapest” is a total joke. The entire American economy is earning to spend to avoid diversity
