He notes the Starbucks CEO commutes by private jet from Orange County to Seattle, then wistfully describes 90s coffeehouse culture and the carefree Gen X vibe before 9/11 ended it.
- Starbucks CEO commutes daily via private jet from Orange County to Seattle, required three days a week in office.
- Tim recalls the 90s when people would sit in coffee houses for hours drinking oversized cappuccinos with no particular agenda.
- Friends exemplified the era—an actor and waitress casually affording Manhattan apartments while nobody cared about anything.
- The 80s cocaine-and-empire-building drive had subsided; people were wandering around in a Gen X wasteland of nothingness.
- Nobody appreciated how nice the 90s were until 9/11 happened and ended that entire era of history.
