Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

This might explain Kimmel's firing if you connect the dots back to the FCC. Wonder how a boycott would affect this....

Disney+ and Hulu are merging and it could save $3 billion
Speculation has been mounting inside the media giant that Disney+ could gobble up the Hulu brand altogether.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I have a feeling Disney severely underestimated the Kimmel effect. Based on social comments, it appears thousands of people are cancelling Disney+ and Hulu... millions in annual revenue lost in one day.

Trump shows weakness, permitting Putin (who is under indictment) in the US and traveling to the meeting in Alaska. And what's being reported-giving Russia all of eastern Ukraine - is precisely what Russia was proposing in 2016 with Paul Manafort and others, and would reward its illegal war effort.

What annoys me is that GOP is redistricting while Dems are talking about and considering clapping back.
They simply do.
We wring our hands, talk about it, shake our fists.
And it’s always like that.
Always.
Dems need to move with FEROCITY and ALACRITY, and we never ever ever ever ever DO!

The BLS says it's due to resource constraints (ie, cuts). A good deal of the price data comes from visits to establishments. Presumably that has been cut, with more reliance on internet downloads from big stores. Big stores tend to have lower prices than independents, so this will bias the cpi down
