Hello C3 Family!

​
  Profound insights from St. Thomas Aquinas. The Academic Saint states that the act of making money from money is “unjust in itself ” (secundum se iniustum) and “evil simply” (simpliciter malum). Money has changed in nature but is this change Good?

Hollywood getting it kinda right?!... 

The Movie Dumb Money is going to be hitting theaters in the near future and it is about the GameStop Fiasco of 2021 where some retail traders burned some hedge fund managers by making the stock of a dying company skyrocket. The trailer has a lot of foul language and is not something C3 whole heartedly endorses but it drives home a few points that C3 is sympathetic to.

Stories of the Week

Disney Films are Bleeding Money!

Disney has gone more and more woke over the past few years and the last 8 films have not been huge money makers. In fact, the YouTuber Valliant Renegade and the Daily Wire both have run the numbers and they think the last 8 films produced by Disney have suffered an almost $900 million loss (Give or take a few million). Check out the Video above or this DAILY WIRE Article for the details. In last weeks newsletter I said the silent majority may be dead, but people still want quality entertainment and woke content is simply not that.

Quick Hitters

• Big Tech snapped its winning streak in the stock market last week, and what investors call June Gloom is upon us.
• The Streaming world is struggling right now, except for Netflix thanks to them cracking down on password sharing.
• Oranges and Peaches are experiencing shortages in production which will lead to higher costs. The mild winter followed by cold snaps have destroyed crops in a way that has not been seen since 1955.
• Pride Month continued its depravity in many cities over the weekend and chants of "We're coming for your children!" could be heard at the NYC drag March. The Slippery Slope remains undefeated.
• Pickleball is fueling higher insurance prices because of injuries to seniors who play the newly popularized game.
• IBM is purchasing Software Maker Apptio for $4.6 billion to give its cloud business a boost.

Here I Am Knocking

Here I am standing
At the door of your heart,
Won't you let me come in
And flood light where there's dark?

For I have been knocking
For such a long time,
Don't leave it much longer
To become a child of mine

I just want you to know
That I love you so much
And can fill your heart within
That once was starved of love

So please don't delay
In responding to me,
For I may not keep knocking
And I have not a key

I will never force you
To open the door,
It's all up to you, my friend,
To receive me as Lord.
