Welcome to Pottermerica. BRING MONEY.

Just so we're clear, the villains won and had the heroes taken out back and shot a loooooong time ago. ❄️Happy Holidays❄️

(and in all seriousness, go watch It's a Wonderful Life if you haven't. It's a great time capsule of the competing values of its time that, imho, provides a lot of context for how we got... here. And it's a really good movie.

It couldn't be made today by a major studio, and if it got remade for name recognition, the core message would be completely gutted.)
