Rudolf is a yearly tradition for many, and it teaches exactly that
Hmm, this is an interesting interpretation... I don't remember anything being sold in Rudolph...
Are you referring to the "Island of Misfit Toys" part, or the "silver and gold" part?
I mean that Rudolf is treated badly until they realize that he can he used.
The underlying problem in all these cases is the failure of the FTC to do its goddamn job of enforcing antitrust and consumer protection law.
Heh, Lina Kahn's done the best job at that of anyone in years. Rupert Murdoch has pushed hundreds of hit pieces against her because she's been so strong on the antitrust suits.
That's true, and yet my point is, too. It just goes to show how comprehensively the FTC has been failing that even good leadership is too little, too late at this point.
Oh yeah, the work she's been doing is like 30 years overdue.
From everything... It is making life very unpleasant all around. Everything is locked behind some bullshit website with dark pattern

Company partner and funk legend Nile Rodgers has presented it to investors as an opportunity “to establish songs as an uncorrelated asset class with attractive risk[-adjusted] returns”
