Wokeness: ‘It’s About the Money’
Commentary
I’m beginning to think H. L. Mencken’s famous apothegm “When somebody says it’s not about the money, it’s about the money” would make a good Eleventh Commandment or at least something to bear in mind on almost any occasion.
Wokeness no matter what “justice” veneer you put on it is about the money.
It’s about taking the money from those who have more and giving it to those who have less or supposedly have less. Sometimes that’s not as clear as it should be.
The lever for extracting other’s money these days in case you just flew in from Alpha Centauri is race.

‘A Strong and Lasting Medium’
In news messaging from Copenhagen, Saga Egmont reports that its parent company Lindhardt & Ringhof produced a record-setting 33 million kroner (US$5.4 million) in revenue in 2020.
This is described by the company as “a huge feat considering the focus on digital investments and the addition of 40 new employees.”
Publishing Perspectives readers will recall that Saga Egmont announced in October that it was hiring 40 staffers to facilitate the release of more digital books in a number of markets in the coming years.
