Remember Macy's? Okay, they still exist, but it's not looking good for their retail stores. The parade, on the other hand, draws record crowds every year. The age of the department store is nearly over. Long live the age of the live streamed parade. Also the age of watching people die or almost die. Between wars, "true" crime, and drowning, there's enough simulated snuff out there to keep you occupied for centuries. If you're into that sort of thing. Learn more about your ad choices.

But the world has changed, and now there are confounding variables as far as the eye can see. There's crypto, trading cards, precious metals, cursed islands. You can also invest in podcasts. And by "invest" I mean "give money to and never see it again". Hey, it's worth a shot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age? Maybe. Maybe a gigantic meteor struck the earth, cloaking it in an epoch of darkness and cold. Or maybe it was a lack of medical screening and they all had a stroke. It's not likely, but it's possible.
