The Streets
1. Maybe the trope, “Wall Street and Main Street” or the many variations of that used by commentators, represents a) an alienation on the part of financial commentators from reality, and/or b) the total, troubling disconnect between the haves of the financial world and the have-nots in small towns across the country.
2. A corollary: Regardless, it is a stupid trope.
I like it much in the same way I like say, blue collar and white collar. I feel like there’s some nice imagery there.
