"And many will come saying there He is, or He is here. Do not believe them, they are wolves in sheep's clothing". I think about that a lot!

Yup. Consumers did it again. Next companies will raise prices again citing inflation. Those essential port workers alrdy made 40 dollars an hour over 100,000 a year with OT. Six figures. Now they got a raise to $69 dollars an hour. BEFORE Overtime pay. During Covid Ports turned into Billion Dollar Companies. Seems a tad greedy. Are they helping the environment with climate change? Do they feed needy children? Clothe homless people? Im sure their charity donations get them another tax write off and even more money back.

It's logical to buy something if you believe others will buy it for a stupid reason. I personally didn't buy toilet paper because I fear that foreign-made paper won't get to the U.S. I bought it because I feared empty store shelves caused by people who fear toilet paper getting held up in shipping.

And that's exactly how panic-buying takes hold. One shopper buys two packs, 'just in case', the shopper behind thinks that they'd better take three, somebody else sees that there's a sudden run on toilet paper and before you know it they're fighting in the aisles.

But I think the issue is that creating truly new, truly committed work in the entertainment industries is just hard and rare, 95% of everything made is derivative and half assed.
