Summary

A boomer on the train admits maybe it's time to step aside. "I, of course, should no longer be an art critic for New York Magazine," they tell Kareem, half-joking about getting written out of their job by the next generation. But there's a twist. This isn't about resentment. The rider pivots hard, insisting that younger people deserve their shot at good jobs and real estate, the same things boomers wanted when they were starting out poor. "Let them cook," they say. Nobody likes being poor. The generational war gets a surprisingly gracious ceasefire.

Let them cook, let them cook, let cook. You have to come and take our jobs. I, of course, should no longer be an art critic for New York Magazine. I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

Your words, not ours. But, but it's the next generation's jobs to write me out of those jobs. Not to say we want the good real estate. We want good jobs. We want this. We wanted it too. I grew up poor. You grew up poor. Nobody likes being poor. I'm sorry. I want you to win. This is the last stop with Kareem Rama.
