"Theodore Roosevelt was a regular and enthusiastic user of the Long Island Railroad. When he was president of the New York City Police Board, he regularly rode his bicycle down from Sagamore Hill and caught the train from Oyster Bay into New York City. In this photograph, Pres. Theodore and Edith Roosevelt arrive at the station in a car on September 25, 1907 to depart for Washington. (Courtesy TRA)"

One month later he would become president, after the assassination of President McKinley. Note the wood planks under the bench and a carriage in the background (Courtesy of John Hammond)

The "creator economy" is a shiny veneer hiding an ugly truth:
it has nothing to do with empowering creators.
It's exploiting them for maximum profit.
Tech has sold us a fairy tale that dedicating yourself to your creative passion can be a viable career path in the modern world.
But they conveniently leave out the part where they ruthlessly exploit those creators to line their pockets.
Take Spotify, for example. They love to tout how they "sup…
