enterprising companies should take note. all you have to do to generate a wave of sales is to announce a decision to take some nostalgia item out of circulation, hire some people to drum up “cancel culture” outrage, and watch the dollars pour in
and in fairness to the seuss estate, they didn’t have to hire anyone! you can probably skip that step!
right! there’s money to make here if you lack scruples!
for example, Warner Bros. should have stuck to its announcement that it would remove Gone with the Wind from HBO Max while also quietly issuing a new 4K restoration or something. the anti-wokeness warriors and Fox News would do the rest of the work.
the conservative media ecosystem is already just a loss leader for various scams, no reason mainstream companies can’t get into the business of fleecing money from angry, gullible right-wingers.

“yes the mob wanted to hang me as a traitor to their god-king, but they also had some good ideas. in this essay i will...”
it is noteworthy that Pence believes it is unconstitutional for Congress to regulate federal elections, which is weird because the Constitution pretty explicitly says that Congress can regulate federal elections
Anyway the Republican Party actively opposes the right of Americans to choose their leaders.

Romney: “the Biden stimulus calls for checks of $400 a week in addition to state checks through September. At that level, the majority of the unemployed would make more by not working. Employers already complain that they can’t find employees.” wsj.com/articles/biden…
I guess employers will just have to put up more money now won’t they?
seems like employers need to learn the value of work

it makes absolutely no sense to shame middle school kids for not knowing “major events” in US history. the whole point is they have to learn! and for what it’s worth, this kind of shaming makes it *less likely* that kids want to learn history in the first place.
you’re really having a hard time believing that an 11-year-old could not know who Hitler was? that makes total sense to me, especially sinc WWII isn’t an overwhelming part of pop culture the way it was when i was a kid in the late 1990s.
like, the second world war was everywhere in 1998/1999/2000,/2001 from movies like SAVING PRIVATE RYAN to television shows like BAND OF BROTHERS to video games like MEDAL OF HONOR
