  That’s my issue with the movie. People who don’t believe in climate change aren’t going to have their mind changed by a club, but need to be tricked with something subtle. Nothing entrenches someone deeper into their views then calling someone an idiot or telling them they’re wrong. The movie represents everything that’s wrong with how progressives and the “liberal elite” like McKay try and convince people to come to their side. If anything, this movie probably just furthered the divide. Have Leo in it probably didn’t help, conservatives love to point out the hypocrisy of his private jet and yacht.

  I say this as someone who worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign and have talked to him about how to change non-progressives minds, although I’m not sure he’s made much progress either. Maybe a little more than McKay.

  Ellison and his team have told Wall Street that they plan to build a “new Paramount” that will be a hybrid entertainment-technology company that leans into AI-infused efficiencies and works with companies like Oracle to boost the profitability of its direct-to-consumer business that includes Paramount+.

  So many words to say nothing of value
