the self-proclaimed "non-elitist" mouthpiece of the east coast elite has always known what i should think politically and culturally ( actualy they routinely confuse fine arts with culture...i am skeptical of anything the label as "culture " )...in that respect they are no different than fox news, msnbc, or breitbart...all final arbiters ( in their own self-image anyway ) of how things should be viewed by the great unwashed american public...they are the cream of the media world...all with a product to sell...ideologically and commerically...and far be it from the non-elitist times to ignore the commercial...today's paper blesed me with...
the new york times "style magazine:women's fashion" issue...with splashy ads from hermes, alexander mcqueen, dior, chanel, , max mara, rolex, fendi...all the big names are here hawking a saleable ethical good for you all to aspire to...
and at fire sale prices...that's $20340 worth of clothing that model is wearing...including those eye catching $18000 trousers...christmas is 125 days away...start saving those pennies you don't blow on $5 packages of bologna in the cold cut aisle...americans laugh at inflation and trust their leaders in the same way the times is "non-elitist"
