It's a wonderfully written song. The lyrics are profound. It makes me think of my reckless youth, and wanting to go fast and live for today, and now things are beginning going the other way; I'm thinking about the future, my daughter and son, and what I shape I leave them in emotionally, mentally, physically.
I dunno wtf it is, I've been real goddamned wistful as of late and beyond the wistfulness it's making me think of those who will come after me. I think I'm in some sort of phase of my life, I just haven't figured out which one yet.
Sorry for dumping that on you.
nightlife.
Bars/clubs/etc still stay open to whatever time they are licensed and allowed to depending upon what part of the US they are in. That hasn't changed.
Many countries... European soccer
Apples and oranges. You're comparing one country to another and that's disingenuous.
China
Again.. the complaint was nothing is open 24/7 anymore in the US
You're making a statement about another country that doesn't apply to the video posted.
That didn't happen in the US and A before whatever the video is speaking about. It's neither here nor there.
Way to ignore everything else and cherry pick some shit. 👍
Is mass consumption of crap a healthy nightlife? Is not being able to buy Wendy's frosties and Dave's Doubles at 3am really the problem?
The OP is listing specific examples and I gave specific examples as to why it's not..
anglo brained
You're painting with a real broad brush there. It isn't just anglos who own businesses that aren't open 24/7. This isn't sundown town shit.
Did the good restaurants stay open 24/7 before?
Conversely, what is the need for everything to be open in the middle of the night? The person is stating nothing is open 24/7 any more.
it's a bit more complicated an answer than 'I need treats at three am and there's no treats to be had'.
It costs actual money to be open. Lot of places require extended hours permits to stay open past 11pm-midnite. The returns on staying open 24/7 May not justify staying open all nite. Also, I like to sleep.
I understand there are third shifters , I get that folks have insomnia. But the examples used haven't really changed. Wendy's is still 'open late'. Open late doesn't mean 24/7. Whataburger are still 24/7. Taco Bell's are mostly independently owned and have always set their own hours, more or less. The mom n pop gas stations have always closed around around 11,12. The big ones are still open 24/7. She uses Irving Pizza as an example, then complains that the place that took the space when Irving Pizza closes doesn't have the same business hours ?
This kinda comes across as complaining for treats IMO.
Smedley once again proving the thing he said that one time.
