…overheard at bars earlier this winter:
1) At a student-ish bar with a good weekday burger deal that I stopped through after using the campus library, two (white) (college-age) (off-shift) workers were sitting a couple of stools down from me, and the (man) was telling the (woman) about how during their recent Christmas party when they had the bar closed down for that someone went out in the back alley to smoke and they found a (homeless) man on the ground “tweaking,” and that the woman he’s usually around with and with whom he shares a dog was nowhere to be found.
2) At the local brewery that I go to, two (college-age) (white) girls are talking about their friend who graduated who’s attempting to move to the city that I used to live in, but the best that he can find for apartments is $800 for part of a 4 bedroom, and the best job that he can find in his field is $13/hour, which really won’t cover the apartment and his student debt at all.
