    My hot take is more people in SF should β€œoverdress” themselves More TBPN suit energy, less hoodies

    It’s always SO funny to see an over dressed New Yorker at a casual Bay Area party.. That awkward first few minutes when they’re going through all the emotions of surprise, disdain, pain and eventually acceptance. Rite of passage πŸ˜…

    It’s sad to think about the future of CA right now: - UCs getting rid of standardized tests - public schools getting rid of advanced math - virtue signaling > critical thinking By trying to ensure β€œequal” outcomes, we seem to be systematically removing access to opportunity
