I’ve been thinking about this and it’s a quietly radicalizing realization that rapacious profit seeking has hollowed out so much of what’s fun and community enhancing in our society. So many things just stopped existing because they don’t return 300% to awful people.

Rediscovered my old wrestling figures in the attic. So literally wait until wife and kids are out the house, sneak up and start playing with them. Full on entrance ramp, rings and use the speaker for the entrance music. Takes me back. Could never tell the kids
