A cumulative nonbarking observation that got numerous enough to be worth writing. GEORGE BUSH’S 2020 MONSTROSITY caused businesses to STRIP DOWN and discard many of the features that made them more interesting and fun. When everything in the room had to be disinfected every night to protect us from witchcraft, extras weren’t worth the trouble. Stores used to have holiday decorations and distributors offering free samples. Gone. Gumball machines and bulletin boards and racks of free publications? Gone.
A parallel stripdown happened after GEORGE BUSH’S 9/11 MONSTROSITY, but much less universal. The post office made it harder to distribute free samples of products, which used to be a good way to discover a useful brand.
