I recently saw a sign in front of a hair salon: “First-time customers, whatever you want to pay!” Then, this morning, Boing-Boing put it together for me. We are in the Whatever Economy:
Okay, then, I would like to purchase a small cylindrical space in the middle of the room. I will make a cardboard cone and cut a door out of it.
Are you feeling the whatever blues?
It’s hard not to. But whatever doesn’t have to be a bad attitude, does it?
I will now quote Noel and Liam Gallagher. There’s a first time for everything:
“I’m free to be whatever I, whatever I chose, and I’ll sing the blues if I want.”
Say whatever you want.
