Much of the madness that infected the world when Covid appeared would never have happened if people had just stopped to think about what was coming out of the “tell-a-vision” or idiot box, as my dad used to say. Having grown up in Eastern Europe when the Soviet Union was gaining and tightening its stranglehold, he knew a thing or two about propaganda and corruption. Thanks for this morsel of history wrapped up in a morality lesson, Jason. It’s delicious and satisfying!

As are your kind words!
Great work. Enjoyed reading it very much.
Thank you, Marcin. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
My pleasure.
This post brought to mind the $64,000 Question quiz show among others that also went belly up in the late 1950s. Well done!
