Honestly, great show. I don't know what I expected, but it was so much better.

I think a bunch of ip copyright will be public domain soon, so they are squeezing the last bit of money out. All the original artists are probably dead, so they don't have to pay royalties. I dunno

I read that's why we have so many super hero movies. I'm guessing all this stuff got copyright protection in the fifties.

All systemic issues are marketing opportunities.

There's a quote about Woodstock (the original in '69 or something).

 They came in a movement and left a market.

I think about that often.

I'm a big advocate of sinus irrigation. Neilmed has a little squirt bottle that rinses the nose with 8oz of saline.

It really helps with allergies.

Tort reform put a stop to all of that in the nineties

We're pretty conditioned to obey. Like, you can be a rebel and insult people or be racist or sexist or "anti-social," but you go to work and pay your bills. We're also, mostly, in debt up to our eyeballs the stress of which gives a powerful myopia. Average Americans are way poorer than tv would have you think.

Thirty percent of the population doesn't even bother to vote as they've basically given up, maybe for one of the reasons above or maybe because the government has little to do with day to day life, or maybe something else.

There's also like a third of the population that is super happy about these developments. It the most amazing thing to have a king again and get back to how things are supposed to be.

There's also a sort of general American optimism that is super persistent: if you do good, then it'll be ok. We're hyper individualized. Do the best you can with what you have. Don't put anyone out, or depend on anyone else.

Unfortunately, things will have to get a lot worse to motivate us.
