That is too extreme

My rule of thumb is that you have to pay me an extra $20,000/year to have me show up in a suit. At some point I'll bother increasing that differential.

I'm employed and am facing no offer that would make me consider wearing a suit. However if I was unemployed, I'd wear a suit in an instant. And smile. Behind gritted teeth.

I'd also get a better job as soon as I could...

Cheers,
Ben

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
