The world is getting equalized in some ways
I have some thoughts about the social equalization of the world. This on the heels of friends visiting a prominent person at the company where I work. The visitors are from somewhere in Europe (I couldn't quite decipher the accents) and were dressed in skimpy bra-showing tank tops and skinny slacks/tights (the girls), and ill-fitting shirts and slacks (the boys). Yet here they were at my firm, long reputed to be a bastion of good taste and erudition, perfectly acceptably going around and meeting people without anyone looking askance or covering their eyes.
My point is that all the crappy ways we attire ourselves these days have definitely aided in equalizing social levels and made it so high mucky-mucks aren't visibly any different from low mucky-mucks. I think it's a good thing, honest I do, I just wish we all looked better when our bra straps were showing. You know what I mean?
