Sorry just jumping in here, I read it, in the 80s, it’s an old book so the above critique is not so relevant. Maybe for the series, but even there I think it’s a bit of a false dichotomy. Progressives are just doing better on one front than the other , markets have provided both opportunity and challenges to women, and conservatism has not proven to be any kind of bulwark against market fundamentalism in the US at least. Also, it’s a TV show, the 1950s on 1984 nazis steroids just makes for a better show than, markets are sucking the life out of us.
Just because something makes for a better TV series does mean we have to pretend said TV series is making a relevant or interesting point. The fact of the matter is a network decided to make a TV series based off a decade old book and said TV series is actually popular despite the message of the novel being very outdated. Why is that? As an answer to that question I think his point there is a good one, that the reason this outdated novel is popular today is because it offers that nostalgia for the present.

A series about how markets are sucking the life out of us, especially one that deals with that issue the context of falling birth rates and the atomization of social life, would be something I'd love to watch personally.
 
Probably around 7ish years ago.

I did stop a homeless man from assaulting a female security guard 2 Christmas's ago but he ran away as soon as I put my hand on his chest
you are a pretty big dude. Seems like a lot of manlets would want to try to fight you.
 
My Brother is 7 years older and the last time he got over on me I was 15. After that I got a lot stronger and meaner from wrestling.
My brother has been the athlete in my family and huge fucking asshole. So I wanted to see how well I would do... And lost miserable. He also takes HGH too.
 
I can't figure out the NBA Western conference playoff picture. I just don't want to get the Lakers in the first round.
 
60 seconds later, target was located 60 MILES away on radar.

@BEER @Cubo de Sangre Why are the Nuggets playing their starters?

The Nuggets lose, they play the Trailblazers in the first round. A team the Nuggets are 2-0 against this year and 3-1 in the previous year.

The Nuggets win, they may end up playing the Lakers. A team the Nuggets are 1-2 against and who gave them a gentleman sweep in the playoffs last year. And they have Lebron and the Nuggets don't have Murray.
