LADY'S MAID-TITANIC: A NEW MUSICAL LIVE (Maury Yeston)

[@hockeyamy]

this is so stupid but my son closed on a house with a pool today and it made me think of this song-now I am a puddle of tears, thinking of all our ancestors who made it possible to rise above your class.

[@themartinandersson]

"rise above your class" lol. I am sorry to spoil all the fun, but for social mobility you should do the reverse of what your ancestors did. Scandinavia is #1, US ranks #27. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Social_Mobility_Index
