Consumer illiteracy is a problem, but the news orgs deteriorated too. CNN runs docs on Walter Cronkite [sic] and I've seen anchors point out- a different time, there were only 3 channels so he could have principles.

teens get a lot of their ideas from adults including their parents, and if you've ever met adults they are often just as stupid about fact checking: apnews.com/article/poll... But i also agree that cable TV news became as much about entertainment as it is about news. CNN turned into 'Access DC'

this would be a fun one to figure out. you'd have to figure out not just their economic impact but their inflation-adjusted multiplier. since cos like fedex/NBSF prob have big multipliers, and standoil/jpm/ibm/unionpacific prob had big multipliers and huge share back in their days

we've got different crawlers! :) i thought 'touch grass' meant when you stop working, like anywhere from a 1min break to a sabbatical, but google seems a little bit more specific. anyways- app-idea: improving my current physical experience if i am in a spot right now?

fwiw when i deleted the purple 'any of these' sections, there was nothing left. also that list of rules is REALLY hard to read. until you sent me the partial zoomed-in screenshot i thought it was just a fake placeholder graphic.
