Some people say a man is made out of time
A floor somm's made out of cheap beer and wine
Cheap beer and wine, coffee and spit
A tongue that's numb and a thumb that's split
You sell sixteen mags, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt

One reason why you know the quote post is "everybody clapped" levels of fake is the imaginary young people are not drinking, say, a dirty martini /or Aperol spritz while wearing high waisted pleated trousers w/ a knit polo
this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper
