I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

(ps. If you're a person of the urban persuasion who's been really concerned about right-to-repair because "What about the poor farmers & John Deere?" … Now you know.) (It's ok to want right-to-repair because YOU want it. You don't have to make it about farmers for it to matter!)

This is not my experience. For most people I know, $50,000 is a lot of money. It's that trade school you can now go to. It's that car you can buy so you can get that job. It's being able to move out of your crappy neighborhood. It's being able to afford to care for your elderly parent.

Kathryn the very first interaction we have ever had, to my knowledge, was this absolutely vicious insult you threw at me for the anodyne observation, not targeting anyone in particular, that 50,000 does not represent any kind of world-shaking wealth for most people
