so, here’s the thing. tumblr/apple can ban as many words as they want and it will never achieve their goal of “cleaning up” this site because this wretched nonsense poetry is somehow now the single dirtiest thing I have ever read in my life and honestly thank god.
“Wall street can’t comprehend easy moral lessons most young children can grasp”
One sec, one thing real quick
This article is the best argument i’ve ever seen for why humanities are so important in education. Apparently you can just submit what is essentially a half assed book report with no reading comprehension or sources or basis whatsoever to certain news journals and call it a day.
Like Scrooge is pretty immoral and that’s kind of the whole point of the book. So much so that ghost visit him about it. That’s the plot. This is, again, an easy story that children can grasp via Muppets.
Anyone who sees Scrooge’s employee freezing all day in an office/going home to a hungry family he can’t support and thinks “Man, that Scrooge is a good and smart businessman” needs their own round of ghostly visitors.
What’s next? Are these doofuses going to suggest that The Dark Lord Sauron had some really great economic plans for Middle-Earth?
Do ppl realize that Ebinizer Scrooge isn’t bad because he dislikes Christmas, he’s bad because he’s greedy and selfish and pays his employees poverty wages and has no concern whether other people live or die
OP your tags … warming myself with your delicious tea it’s too good not to share
dickens: scrooge hates christmas because it’s about being generous and spending time with others with no profit motive, and all he cares about is profit.
audience: wow, can’t believe that scrooge hates having fun.
dickens: literally every relationship he’s ever had has been ruined because he cared more about making money than about other people.
audience: can’t believe a guy cut off his whole family because he doesn’t like tinsel.
dickens, growing more frustrated: he’s so obsessed with profit that he won’t even heat his own house if it costs him money! he complains about losing a single day of income from businesses being closed on christmas! CHRISTMAS IS A METAPHOR FOR BEING A DECENT PERSON!
audience: how can you hate cookies and presents, you scrooge?

Rupert Murdoch is like Ebenezer Scrooge, if Scrooge had just decided to ignore the life lessons learned from his ethereal travels with the Christmas spirits, and instead continue plundering and hoarding his way through life, waging war on happiness until his dying day.
A concept made by my Edge of the Empire players, and I, during a life-day-themed session. A Wookie that fills the role of something between the Grinch and Scrooge.
