The pointless yearning of new money, the insulated senselessness of old. It was ever thus, "borne back ceaselessly into the past."
“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

I think we can agree now that a new social media platform is no panacea. I'm hoping it's more than a placebo.
