Why does he call it *inconspicuous* consumption? There are few things more conspicuous than an Ivy League degree. (check out the Harvard bumper stickers on cars of people who’ve been out of school for 20 years)

“Intangible” would work better.

Quinoa crackers. Poor kids. They need lard. More lard.

@ our Slovenian Guest,

I can’t tell whether you’re being satirical, sarcastic, or something else entirely. Or, alternatively, you’re doing a “…In my day, we walked to school, six miles uphill and in the snow, both ways…” thing…

In any event, good to see you back here. It is always good to hear from the one half-way sane Balkans country.

You wouldn’t believe how good school food here, when we were still a socialist republic, was. We got fish pâté to eat, or a slice of sourdough bread with a piece of real cheese, or a bowl of sauerkraut with sausage bits in it, we ate like rich Americans! If you ever got a chicken finger, it was a literal chicken paw in a stew! And there was never anything with bubbles to drink, ever.
