No need to expand on it, my friend. You fucking nailed it right here:

    I get the same vibe of how the urban ghettos of the 70's acted. Nobody had any hope, nobody could buy houses, cash and employment was transitory so they all bought fancy clothes and Cadillacs when they had cash to spend instead of investing in housing education etc. If you manage to get lucky and have 20K in your hand, you buy something for the now because looking around? Fuck tomorrow.

As Steve Jobs would've said, "Boom."

Worked out really well in the 70's-90's

I have thoughts, they ran way freaking long, working on editing now.
