re: #389 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Except that we now live in an alternate media reality. DT can screw up bigger than he ever did as a businessman and he will be praised for it, while scapegoats are found to take the blame…

Maybe, maybe not. Whatever fuck -ups he does will be much more public than his failed business ventures and bankruptcies, to which only fellow businessmen and bankers paid attention. The RW media will spin any failures like tops, but the rest of the media (the WaPo and the NYT, one hopes) will report on them — I hope.

TBH, I’m not even convincing myself with these words. I fear we will see the beginning of the corporate dystopia featured in so many SF novels and movies.
