Biden Replaces Neckties, Bends to Woke

Are you getting old like Trump?

You're not making any sense, just like him. Be careful what you wish for.

To be fair neither of them ever did make sense but they were amusing little sprites prancing around in the shadows of their own pathologies, they are not so funny now that they are strutting around in the glow of the super trooper but they are also easy to see for what they are

Of course, y'all are too young to remember 'Hatless Jack' Kennedy and how he changed the style of the nation by refusing to wear a hat. His reason: he thought hats made his ears stick out. But for years hatters chased the Preside ...[text shortened]... his head.

Kennedy killed hats! Bummer!

The casual dress at the office movement seems to have gained some momentum in the late 90's. Law firms and investment banks were chasing talent so hard that they needed to offer something without increasing the already skyrocketing salaries in a super-hot market. So, they let people dress down a little, and then a lot.

Covid, however, probably killed formal dress for good as a mandatory aspect of business. Suddenly, you worked from your living room for a year and it didn't matter what you wore.

Personally, except when vacationing or working out, I think the President of the United States should dress formally, but I'm not going to spend any energy worrying about it.
