    Oh well.

    I’m a Toys-R-Us kid and I think maybe we didn’t need all that fucking plastic.

    We will survive without Grand Slams.

    It’s time to put the corporations back on the back burner of Americana.

      Selling everything to private equity firms won’t do that, though. Quite the opposite.

        Based on how many corps bought out by private equity get stripped for parts and destroyed, I’d say the outcome is relatively similar.

        I would prefer the deaths didn’t enrich the oligarchs more, but I am actively trying to pull back my spend on all corporate stuff because of this exact horseshit. Lots of others are, too. Maybe others think I am just pissing in the wind, but at this point I give zero fucks what others think and vote with my wallet until I can vote for people who will regulate this shit like a functioning government is supposed to instead of this reality tv garbage.
