and that says that you meant to wear that, and didn’t just happen to wear it because you liked those pants and you liked that shirt.

I like that though because what you like says a lot about a person. I love self-expressive people, not people who just do whatever they need to fit in. I also hate formal occasions because again formal means there's lots of rules on how to look and act. Again pressure to fit in. As a progressive I don't align with that. I like people being very diverse. If I'm invited to a formal event (or even a trade show with a dress code) I just decline.

A suit is like the uniform of the business world. Very boring and non-expressive.

PS I also hate collared shirts and ties, I don't wear them anymore. They bother my neck.

I like that a lot. I'm GenX but I always hated the suit & tie bullshit. These days I don't even own a suit that fits. The last time I wore one was at a wedding in 2005 or so.

Those iPhones made in China you mean?

America is not the only superpower and well on its way to no longer being the biggest one. Trump complains a lot about providing defense capability for Europe and other places but in return for that America got influence which is what made it a superpower.

Now that people are no longer trusting the US that influence will be reduced. Europe won't be the next superpower but probably China will be. I'm not very happy with that but as a European I don't really want us to be a superpower either.
