"Forward-minded people tend to sit at the front of the top deck, according to Dr Tom Fawcett of Salford University, the independent-minded in the middle and those with a rebellious streak at the rear."
An interesting study on tendencies of people on the bus in the UK. I wonder what kind of people ride the bus in the UK. Is it just the lower and middle classes who ride the bus? (like the most part of America) Is it just Brit-hippies?
Frugal is cool in cash-strapped US
"The era of individualistic consumption that swept aside the Great Society of the 1960s has come to an end. For three decades, American culture has celebrated the glories of unabashed capitalism and the ideals of the rich. No longer. From Hollywood movies to celebrity culture to television, frugalism is taking hold. Consumers are cutting back. Luxury brands are falling by the wayside."
Good that we're not being blamed for digging our own graves anymore. (If we ever were) I like looking through foreign media, they always have more objective views on American politics and culture.
Does that mean less crunk rap?
Does that mean more stripped-down, cheap music videos?
I'm OK with that.
