Glad???

I dunno, DCB. I am certainly gladdened by the fact that there are people who will benefit from this show.

Yet, at the same time, I am very distraught at the celebrity culture that surrounds this presidency, and the potential consequences for the future of our nation if this trend continues.

Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
