Bryan, even in the cold calculating world of business, there should be some lines that you don't cross. Participating willingly in government corruption should be one. Bowing to pressure to remove a voice that the government doesn't like from the air because it signals bias or even because your advertisers don't like it comes close to the line but doesn't cross it. But compliance in order to get favorable regulatory action does. In my opinion, at least.

Profoundly true. And this is what’s wrong with basing our society on capitalism. It has no soul. It has no courage. It has only an insatiable desire to convert everything and anything (and everyone and anyone) into cash.
We live in a society, not an economy. We would do well, in this period of late-stage capitalism, to remember that when it’s all said and done, you cannot eat money.

trump can’t afford to win many more of these battles; he’s losing the war to overthrow the republic vote by vote. 31% and plummeting.
We should stop with the pretense this upheaval at a national scale isn’t about money.
