Oh well then you might like to hear this little anecdote.
I have a friend of mine who does contract work. He is a good friend of mine in spite of the fact he is the most militant, ardent black supporter of socialism I have ever met. He will send me texts for months similar to what I hear from the socialists on this site. Always bitching about how the whites have this and that and the blacks are owed this, etc.
He recently got a contract working to build a website for the FCC I believe it was. It was funded under the "infrastructure bill". The FCC established a small department which issues fines for any media which doesn't abide by newly instituted PC/Woke/Diversity standards. This applies to TV shows, Internet content, commercials, and even video games. They can issue fines of up to $10,000/region per airing of a commercial. There are about 80 regions I think he said. So a single airing of a nationwide commercial could be fined $800,000 if it received a score of -100.
This group of bureaucrats is apparently run by a guy who is very left-wing homosexual according to him. EVERYONE he hires is by any standard really way out there. Transvestites, homosexuals, Environmental NAZI's, racists, ANTIFA sympathizers, BLM, et al. They would rank various media and give it a score. If they deemed it "incorrect" or in someway offensive to their sensibilities the score would be negative. Lets say it got a -10 score. Then the fine would be 10% of 10,000 or 1,000 per airing per region. Of course these scores were highly subjective and what one might deem unoffensive could be reviewed by some whack-job trans-sexual and get fined as a result. So they "encouraged" producers to err on the side of caution. They also hired my buddy to create a website the producers could use to approximate the score it might receive. But there is still no guarantee the agent who eventually does the same will answer the questions in the same manner. So again, producers should err on the side of caution.
