Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

    The comment that stood out to me was someone saying “but that was 44 years ago”. I was a teenager then and poor people didn’t sell pencils on the street in 1980 either. It was an old trope from the 40s? 50s? Much like I’ve never seen an organ grinder with a monkey or poor children selling matches.
