Roseanne Barr but the Post is Not About Her.

I have never particularly liked Roseanne Barr. I didn't watch her when show originally came out and I didn't watch it when it started again this year. I just never liked her that much and found her annoying. I like Tim Allen and loved his last show, he goes for jokes and a lightness of feeling. I never felt pressured to agree with Tim; but, instead could understand how he viewed the world and that it did not have resentment.

Roseanne Barr made a comment on Twitter. She claims she was on Ambien when she did it. Maybe she was and maybe she wasn't, I don't really care. Lets start with this. Jane Fonda went to North Vietnam during the war and posed in an anti aircraft cannon. It didn't stop her from working or from me watching her movies. Heck, I watched her show on Netflix. Here is the real question, should she have been fired? Should Rosanne have been fired?

I was a stage manager and have heard more stupid things come out of the mouths of actors than I can remember. If ABC thought Rosanne was such an embarrassment, why didn't they let the audience decide what they wanted. What if the audience was less concerned about her personal beliefs and more concerned about seeing a representation of the Midwest on television. The same Midwest that elected Obama twice also elected Trump.

Lets try this. The media is full of reports how ABC wants to keep Roseanne; but, make it about one of her kids that disagrees with her. Hmmm. That will fail miserably. Remember, the show has oversold in the Midwest and does nothing in New York or Los Angeles for ratings. Giving people in the Midwest a show blaming Trump for all their problems will fail miserably in the Midwest, they know their problems started long ago, way before Trump ever ran for office. They know their jobs were outsourced since the 1980s.

The "establishment" knows it is screwing the middle and working classes, heck, it is their intent. This should not be surprising to anyone. They are so out of touch that they believe the average person voted for Trump because they are all racist, even though those same people voted for Obama. Nope, they fear that you will see the plan is to screw the working and middle class even more. They seek a multinational business society that means multinational monopolies and the ability to avoid all government regulation.

Another example of how they view the average person is their calls for Oprah and Mark Cuban to run for President, they are billionaires like Trump and television personalities. LMAO. Personally, I would love to watch that; but, it will not happen and the Democrats are unwilling to run a progressive because the Democrats do not believe in the middle class or working class anymore. By the way, I still support universal healthcare and a guarantee of work for all who are able. I am for a guaranteed basic income if someone is willing to work and subsistence if they are not willing to work. We all live on this planet together and it belongs to all who are alive.
