was skeptical of the people there. Did anything I said sounded like skepticism or a little bit of questioning about them? Is that really what we were talking about? Because it's a matter of degree and the people who can't understand it's a matter of degree are really missing the whole story right now. There are plenty of neighborhoods where I might be skeptical or suspicious but they don't rise to the level where it would matter. But then there are other neighborhoods where you're not just skeptical, you're scared to death. So if you replace skeptical with scared for your life, well then you might get a closer answer.

The trolls on YouTube are pretty active and pretty funny today. Yeah, you all go to Chicago and tell them you're colorblind. Somebody says yeah. Anyway, so I'll go to the whiteboard in a second.

I asked on social media if people are considering canceling their newspaper subscription because Dilbert got canceled. You want to know a fun economic fact? It would only take about three people to cancel their newspaper subscriptions for the newspaper to lose money. Because the amount that they paid for Dilbert is so small per newspaper that it would only take a handful of people canceling that they would lose more money than they gained by canceling it. I also wonder if newspapers are so close to being completely done that it wouldn't take much to push them over the edge. If for example, by the way this is a possibility, this is an actual possibility. If for example newspaper income went down 10 percent because let's say there was a big cancellation, I don't recommend that by the way. I'm not in favor of boycotts. I don't like boycotts. I don't like it when it happens to me so I don't like it when it happens to anybody. But if hypothetically newspapers lost 10 percent of their audience because of this that would push most of them into the negative because their margins have shrunk and shrunk and shrunk. The only reason they're still in business, I don't know if you know this, the reason that newspapers are still in business is they used to have gigantic margins and they've shrunk to almost nothing but there's still a little bit there for some newspapers. Other newspapers especially in the chains are running at a loss and it's because a hedge fund owns them and they don't mind the loss or whatever it is. But a 10 percent drop in newspaper subscriptions might put half of the industry out of business. It's a possibility. So it's possible that Dilbert canceled the entire newspaper industry but not a high chance. Not a high chance. Maybe a 20 percent risk.

All right. So I gave an NPC assignment as I mentioned on Twitter. I said write a tweet explaining how the First Amendment doesn't apply to private companies. And I actually labeled it NPC assignment. And then in the comments you have to see how many people sincerely tried to explain to me that the First Amendment doesn't apply to private companies after I'd given them an NPC assignment to do it. They did it and not ironically. They thought I needed to know.

All right. And then this is my favorite critic. Some individual who thinks he's going to Kyle Parrish who's running for Congress I guess North Carolina Fifth District. And I don't like his chances based on his tweet. I don't like his chances of getting elected. So he said how long before Scott Adams posts a rant about men needing to separate from women because they all hate him. And I thought to myself well I've sort of already done that. You know, not the hate part but I've already endorsed the Mike Pence don't have a meal with somebody who's not your wife unless your wife is there. And it's for the same reason. It's exactly the same thinking. The thinking is while any individual woman is fine but the class of the category of people called women have been very much programmed by the #MeToo narrative, which is a healthy thing for society to have that. But if you're trying to avoid a class of people who have been programmed by society, women would be one of the groups. So I do recommend that you stay away from women certainly in a work environment where you're alone. So I wouldn't spend time alone with women because women have been radicalized by the narrative to look for #MeTooing and they're going to find it where a man won't. If you spent the same amount of time with men your odds of being #MeTooed would be practically zero. If you spend a lot of time with women in the workplace, what are your... Actually I'll ask you this. If you have a job where you personally spend a lot of time with women what are the odds you'd be accused of misogyny or sexism? I think it's close to 100 percent, isn't it? Yeah. If you're surrounded by women in a work environment for an extended period of time I would say the odds go to 100 percent. So would it be good advice to ignore that or would it be good advice to do what Mike Pence does and make sure everybody has equal opportunity? Don't treat any woman as if there's something wrong with her. That's not fair. But just treat it like a statistical fact. How about that? So that's bad critiquing if I agree with you.

All right, let's go to the whiteboard. I was reading CNN's takedown of me today and I think so far the press has done the same trick. And the trick is to use just my quote and to ignore the context which I helpfully added afterwards. So if you only concentrate on the quote you can m
