And just to rub salt into the wound, someone created a clothing store named after the political corruption imposed on those countries to accomplish this: Banana Republic.

I can't think of what an equivalent would be in terms of offensive marketing, Starving Irish brand potatoes? A Saudi demolition company named after September 11th? A clothing store inspired by antebellum southern US clothes? I guess some companies still use imagery of indigenous people for tobacco products. That seems like it's in the same vein.

Generally, I try to focus on how beautiful life can be, but damn if there isn't a crowd trying to make it ugly for others.

Our prices are falling from our hot deals but fret not: the melting point of steel... 🤔

"Jet fuel can't melt steel beams" was probably a gateway drug for so many of the crazies today
