“The United States is an idea not a culture” most amazing quote ever

@MrJeeves4me

5 жыл бұрын

You may think it is an "amazing quote" but it's an absolutely false statement. If you don't think there is an American "culture" then try living in another country for a couple of years (not just vacationing or visiting). American culture is the very thing much of the world envies and seeks to imitate. Nonetheless, Fran L., is a fascinating person and great fun to listen to, though much of what she says is not exactly practical to say the least. I remain however, always interested as she is an entertaining and unique personality.

MrJeeves4me you completely missed her point. You’re shocked by the statement, but it’s true. American “culture” would be Native American culture. Modern America is not founded on long established cultural norms - it’s founded on an idea, or series of ideas. Freedom, liberty, justice - they’re not a culture, they’re a system of ideals. The “new world”. America, for its ~243 years has ALWAYS been a melting pot of other “cultures”, a mishmash of people, all leaving behind ways of life in pursuit of the American way. But it has never been a standalone culture.

My experience in three hotel companies in Manhattan is: Housekeeping jobs in NYC hotels are Union jobs. People who have these jobs often stay in them until retirement age. They recommend their friends and family when vacancies open up. Middle and upper management of hotels often start in housekeeping.

Fran is always funny.

The NY housing market is bogus. A lot of apartments sit empty and millions looking for affordable housing. The homeless aren't the only ones living that way, there are a lot of ppl squeezed in like sardines just to be able to afford a place.

I like an idea of much higher real estate taxes for owners of 2 or more houses if those houses are sitting empty. That would potentially lower realestate taxes for everyone else, making homeownership more affordable. Alternatively, it would put more money into schools. Which would also be desirable
