Look, we can have a debate about whether young men have it worse today than ever. But just on this narrow topic of St. Louis: there isn’t a single person responding to me today who knows more than I do about St. Louis. They’re all furiously googling crime stats they’ve never looked up before and confusing themselves about whether the St. Louis Metropolitan area has suburbs. We can have whatever debate you want, but there’s no reason you have to pretend to know something about St. Louis. It’s embarrassing. Just say you don’t know anything about St. Louis. Nothing hinges on you knowing something about St. Louis. It’s fine to just say you don’t know.
