Do they read the stories to inner city children who one day dream of growing up to be the change they want to see in their communities by running for city office only to have their dreams dashed by rich Society Folk who have the backing of large monetary bribes of corrupt local businesses who want to rezone the neighborhoods, the children grew up in, into business parks so they can give lucrative contracts to their friends in the construction trades to build shoddy vermin infested store fronts and then rent those stores out at ridiculous prices back to the Uncle of one these children who’s only dream in life was to one day sell his home made jams to his friends and acquaintances in his very own neighborhood? Because I would watch that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-you-challenge-people-to-watch-a-tv-show/943373.md?page=1)
