But American TV is all about safe, formulaic, advertiser-friendly pap (police procedurals, medical dramas, and reality competitions) as opposed to doing stuff like The Goes Wrong Show, and that deeply saddens me.

NB: As a theatre kid, I am at least passing familiar with The Play That Goes Wrong, despite having not had the joy of witnessing a production, so I'm familiar with the "source" material, as it were.

- Tax the churches.
- Tax the billionaires.
- Tax the corporations. Tax them even more if they offshore for the purpose of tax evasion.
- We should use tax dollars to subsidize theatres, art galleries, and concert halls instead of sports venues.

- Tolerance is desirable up to a point; there is no room in a polite society for bigotry and hate.
- It's okay to fail; what's NOT okay is refusing to learn from failure and try again.
- Taxes are a necessary part of the social contract, and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

- The electoral college is a dinosaur of an institution that only serves to enable a tyranny of the minority.
- Religion is best practiced in the comfort and privacy of one's own home, with the blinds drawn and the doors locked.

- People deserve second (and third, fourth, fifth, etc.) chances.
- Student loans should be subject to the same relief options (bankruptcy etc.) as other types of loans.
- Modern policing is ineffective at best and inherently unjust as a rule.
