No More DJ'S! We Need Plumbers
Summary
A straphanger has had enough of DJs. All of them. Even the vinyl ones. "You're just putting a piece of plastic on a thing," they tell Kareem, dismissing the entire profession with a wave. What does society actually need? Plumbers, electricians, mathematicians, teachers. People who can rip carpet out of a floor and install shelves to help their girlfriend. The rant is absolute: "We do not need more DJs." Kareem agrees completely, nodding along as his conversation partner makes the case that practical skills have been abandoned in favor of turntables and laptop performances that don't actually contribute anything real to the world.
