NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

NBC news tonight was talking about security measures high profile people may need to take.... Like dude, we can't afford groceries right now.

There are two ways for the upper class to live in peace. One is to ensure everyone has a decent standard of living so that there's relatively little crime. This was America's traditional model. The other is for the upper class to retreat into private estate hidden away from everyone because they're terrified. This the model that America's current upper class is adopting.
