The Populace Shifts K, Making r Less Profitable

ESPN is losing hugely:

Once an indispensable sports powerhouse, cable TV network ESPN has gone from must-see-TV for millions of sports fans to financial boondoggle for owner Disney with the network losing up to 10,000 subscribers a day, a report says…

With the impact of the flailing sports network, Disney’s revenue fell 3 percent, and its profits sank 14 percent, the financial site reported.

As to ESPN itself, the network lost subscribers, found its average viewership crater, and experienced falling advertising rates even as its programming costs climbed. And this fall from grace continued even after Disney insisted that ESPN had reached its bottom after the previous quarter came to an end.

Going SJW when the nation is embracing Trump might not have been the smartest move.

Meanwhile Nordstorms feels the Trumpening:

A viral video shows a group of women storming into a Nordstrom to cancel their accounts in response to the retailer’s decision to stop selling Ivanka Trump’s fashion brand, promising to shop at Dillard’s instead.

Laurie Ray posted a video on Facebook of herself and seven other women — some wearing shirts with photos of President Donald Trump that say “Haters Gonna Hate” — walking into Nordstroms in Chandler, Arizona, with handfuls of cash to cancel their accounts.

“I’ve been shopping at Nordstrom for 30 years,” one woman in the video says, speaking into a telephone. “Because of your decision to drop Ivanka Trump, I will no longer shop at your store, nor will my husband or our nine children or our eight grandchildren.”

Instead, the women say they are “headed to Dillard’s to buy all kinds of stuff.” Dillard’s continues to sell Ivanka’s brand.

This is the K-shift. When r-selection is on the rise, this social blacklisting is used by the left to impose disadvantage on the right. But today the resources are not flowing as freely and everybody is barely hanging on, so when the right consciously moves its business, an already thin economic situation rapidly becomes untenable for the left.

If you thought the left was already going crazy, watch as they go even crazier now that every rule they thought they knew is upended by the changing economic situation and our God Emperor. This amygdala stimulation will only drive the entire nation even more rightward. It will even begin to remodel the leftists to be more stress tolerant, after a few years of it.

Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because K-selection’s stock is about to rise

“It will even begin to remodel the leftists to be more stress tolerant, after a few years of it.”

A dangerous moment, though. The Bolsheviks, the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge were stress-tolerant (assuming we are using the phrase the same way). They got what they wanted.

K-Mart should do well.
