As original films like "Novocaine" and "Mickey 17" struggle and "Captain America" and "Paddington" sequels fall short, when will the box office rebound?

This is a general rant.

Pretty much everything that I used to enjoy now feels like work.

At some point, comic books went from $2.00 to $7.00. I went from having one cheap streaming service to having five expensive ones. $20.00 to see a movie and don't even talk to me about seeing live music.

It's all income inequality. Start talking about taxing the rich. You don't even have to do anything super active, just passively agree with and educate yourself on taxing the rich. We can fix society and go back to (or forward depending on who we're talking about) better economic realities for the vast majority of people simply by taxing the rich.

You're preaching to the horse's mouth.

Stole it from the TV show Angel. Idiot vampire receptionist Harmony.

A good line is worth stealing.
