Could Queer Eye Heal America?

 


Could Queer Eye Heal America?

I noticed that Season 7 is back on Netflix.  This is one of my favorite shows.  And, apparently I've got company.  Seven seasons is gold.  The guys are masters at approaching the "everyday bloke".  Using their charm, good will, free stuff and empathy, they win them over every time.  Transformation is powerful.

We keep hearing about how we need to listen to grievance-laden voters and take them seriously.  Isn't that how the Queer Eyes guys spread their love?

Can't to wait to watch them again.

No, this is not a robot writing today's blog.  Are you there God?  It's me Joan.

Is the writers' strike just another futile effort to hold off the machines?  Are the scribes today's luddites?  The same arguments can be made that were made when the industrial revolution "ruined" labor or produced "progress". Which?

It used to be science fiction that described the moment when robots decide for themselves what the future -- and history -- will be.  

And now, the daily news.
