It almost seems like the conservatives promote an opposition term just to say they’re better than it. First it was political correctness, then woke, then CRT, then some new three-letter acronym I can’t even remember right now. It must be an election year.
I still remember not being able to read a dial clock. I would have to report to my mother, “The little hand is on the four, and the big hand is on the… well, it’s between the nine and the ten.” I don’t remember when I actually learned it. The incentive was for not missing my favorite TV shows.
My dad actually had a nickle coin from the “turn nickles into dimes” trick. One face of the nickle is missing, and has a sheet of steel, so you hide a dime under the nickle and palm a magnet as you wave your hand over the nickle.
Why can’t comic books have ads for Coca-Cola or Hershey bars? Legitimate products that kids might want to buy. Instead it’s cheap mail-order trinkets or pyramid schemes.
Japan first started making imports to challenge U.S. manufacturing. Then Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and now China. The U.S. makers of consumer goods realized that military contracts are much more steady than trying to make things for fickle consumers, so that left foreign manufacturers to fill in the gap.
Just go out the window for that.
