The natives remain restless. Over at Simon and Schuster a strident minority of the firm’s 1500+ employees have demanded – DEMANDED! – that the publishing house reject and/or cancel any book deals with former Trump administration people.

If you consider it preemptive book burning it all makes sense.
And it is certainly in line with the Left’s new cancellation policy of anyone who has not accepted their chosen leaders as infallible and their drivel as gospel.
For behold: I bring the light!
Over at Forbes they are willing and able to go one step further
The chief content officer of @forbes warns any company .that hires “Trump’s fabulists” — naming Conway, McInaney, Spicer, Grisham, etc. — they will “assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”

Funny, we never heard a peep about Obama/Hillary/Biden “fabulists” – even the ones who were actual fabulists by trade before going into politics for the money: The Aspiring Novelist Who Became Obama’s Foreign-Policy Guru.
I leave it to you to figure out where this train is headed.
I need to go take some more Benadryl as my eyes are swollen half-shut from a barrage of bug bites I got yesterday while doing some outdoor painting. There’s nothing you can do anymore that doesn’t attract a herd of annoying little gnats.

If I were running a company and anyone “demanded” anything, I’d say, “pack your stuff and get out.”. (probably wouldn’t say “stuff.”)
Having book burners in charge of publication helps keep things “green”. After all, there is no need to actually burn a book which is prohibited from being published. All very ecologically friendly.
