It's also super unsustainable. The era of all glass buildings is going to come to and end, and buildings that represent their function will come back into vogue.

Have you been to New York? It was far more impressive then anything I saw while in Europe.

Depends on the business. In the past when dealing with American clients in graphic design I had them pay me in USD, now it doesn't matter.
When I worked as a short order cook though it was super annoying to have American tourists expect us to take their money. We were right beside a bank, so they could either get a shit exchange rate from us, or use the bank to exchange the money. Most were too lazy to go to the bank.
