Another way to say “leisure”

The specific frequency of controlled urgency, bipartisan earnestness, and intellectual self-assurance that emanates from people living deep inside the DC/NYC power circuit. Acela energy isn't about clothes or credentials — it's an atmospheric thing, a vibe you feel the moment someone walks in and starts talking about their calendar. It's the energy of people who sincerely believe policy matters, read long-form journalism unironically, and schedule their leisure time like it's a committee hearing.
