Brown.

Speaker A:

I just heard one of the best pieces of advice out of a government in ages.

Speaker A:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asked Americans to stop wearing pajamas to the airport and dress a little bit better.

Speaker A:

Now, I'm all for dressing comfortably.

Speaker A:

I do it at home.

Speaker A:

But some people, they've taken it way too far.

Speaker A:

I see pajamas and slippers and bonnets at the grocery stores and gas stations and yes, on planes, in trains, and it feels wrong to me.

Speaker A:

I find myself wondering, where's your pride?

Speaker A:

Now, I don't know if this has a direct impact on our behavior, but I do know that more of us have started treating public places like private ones, doing whatever we want and not caring about the rest of us.

Speaker A:

And that's not good for anyone.

Speaker A:

So what do you think?

Speaker A:

Let me know on jamesabrown.net on that note.
