You cannot go wrong with a Tech College degree!

But, like, you know.

Math is HARD, dude!

I thought so, too. I re-read that sentence several times over.

The Gods of the Copybook Headings must be looking on with eager anticipation right about now.

The awakened Saxon is looking on as well. 👍

They are determined to destroy.

Let them. If these companies and industries (and leagues) collapse, the market, which hates a vacuum, will replace them.

Yup, the last 20 years or so have renewed my appreciation of old Hollywood right up to films of the 70s—and classic foreign films-—so much more mature, so much more resourceful and worldly-wise.

“TCM is my go to on tv. Most everything else is trash.’

I love TCM. It’s my saving grace. It’s my go to channel I watch to save my sanity from watching too much cable news TV. When I can’t stand politics anymore, I go overdose on old movies. Actually I never thought I’d be watching this, but they had an all day, all night “Star Wars” movies back to back less than a week ago, and I actually enjoyed watching all of them, as I missed most the first time around. When you end up watching hours of Star Wars over cable Fox TV, it just shows the desperation to get away from politics.

Watched King Kong again. I also love all the old Film Noir movies, and I pick and choose amongst the other movies from decades past, and watch just about any musical. TCM is my go to channel to preserve my marbles that would otherwise just roll away.

Agreed. McConnell and the Senate just sentenced some 40 to 50 million unemployed Americans to abject poverty.

Pro sports, colleges, and Hollywood are not going anywhere,

You are right. They have nowhere to go but down.

Instead, the GOP is about to go extinct.

Let me correct that for ya:
Instead, the GOP Democratic Party is about to go extinct.
There is simply NO WAY the Democratic Party survives with their total support for rioting, looting, anarchists, destruction and the corrosive, rancid culture of BLM. No political party anywhere has ever survived with policies like that for long. The Democratic Party is doomed unless they have a sharp change of course.

Chuckle.
The ones sentencing millions of Americans to poverty are the Dem governors and mayors who have refused to end lockdowns so Americans can go to back to work and make a living.
It's simple really. End lockdowns now, make HCQ/Zinc available to anyone who wants it and let America go back to work.
Meanwhile it will be extremely stupid to keep paying BLM/Antifa terrorists $600 per week just do they can riot, kill , burn and destroy other people's businesses.
You Antifa anarchists can go back to mommy's basement and mooch off mommy as usual. .

What ratings?
There is no professional sports for any ratings to go anywhere. And what poor pathetic excuse of professional sports they have attempted to start have sputtered and appear headed for the grave.

Just watched a Hedy Lamarr movie from 1947 (Dishonored Lady) last night.
Beautiful. They knew how to make movies then.
The depraved, drugged up, perverted creeps of Hollywood right now are all about gratuitous violence for no reason, idiotic story lines and pushing far left woke political agenda.
For America the survive and prosper, Hollywood in its current form needs to lose it's power and influence.

Seems like you are accusing the 30 to 40 million unemployed Americans as being part of BLM/ Antifa, including myself.

Once mass evictions start this month, the BLM/ Antifa riots will be child’s play.

Where are the jobs Americans can work at? Don’t see 30 to
40 million job openings. All while your buddies MoscowMitch, MumbaiMike and 20 other Republican Traitorous Bastard Senators push for more cheap labor from India.

I find that I don’t NEED pro sports anymore, I wish I had all those wasted hours back. I may start watching hockey though. University culture has been a scam since I was in college in the seventies. Hollywood is suiciding from within. Add to VDH’s list Big Media and you have four “revered” institutions that are rushing to their own demise. See ya, hate to be ya!

So true.

I did nothing of the kind. You may want to read my post again.

Perhaps. But it will mostly be for the big far left big Dem ruled cities like NYC, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago etc. which have sharply cut police funding and prevented the police from doing their job, even as they have destroyed jobs with mindless lockdowns.
Murders and violent crime in NYC is already through the roof. Nothing new there.
However, most small towns in rural counties are doing just fine. If DeBlasio and his Antifa / BLM pals want to burn New York down, I will not lose too much sleep over it.
