So now they should pull a Trump and uncancel Colbert.

I’d love that… I doubt they will. Ellison seems committed to bending the knee to trump…
I ran across this article though, which shows this isn’t the first time that CBS has done something like this… I’ve read about the Smothers brothers being canceled, but I did not remember that they were on CBS…

This ties into one of the fallacies of American capitalism - that it is the optimal approach to overall economic growth and wealth generation. It’s simply not. Capitalism as currently practiced in the US destroys wealth. When the vast majority of people are simply using high-capital items like homes and cars, and can’t afford to maintain them in an emergency, that item loses value up to and including complete loss. It’s the Pratchett Vimes Theory of Boots writ large. The bottom 50% of America has zero wealth because they (we?) don’t have the rainy day savings to make a major repair to a house or car, and in such a case its value approaches zero.

Using the term “rainy day” is poignant here, as climate change weather catastrophes are a main driver of this issue.

There appear to be two and only two mainstream opinion pieces now: 1) why the natural disgust and anger you feel is counterproductive and the obvious atrocity that elicited that reaction is complicated; 2) Nazi parents who want to liquidate your child for existing have several valid concerns, too
