UK Daily Mail ^ | March 19, 2021 | Mary Kekatos

New cards will require players to pay for donating to an animal shelter, failing to recycle the trash or not choosing to shop local.

'Covering topics like beauty contests, holiday funds, and life insurance, there is no denying the Monopoly game's Community Chest Cards are long overdue for a refresh,' Hasbro said in a statement.

But every player gets an unending supply of Get Out of Jail Free cards, so it’s OK.

Go to jail, go directly to jail. Will that change?

Will the Reading Railroad be devalued, due to the high carbon footprint of its railroad engines?

Will Boardwalk and Park Place be valued differently, depending upon whether the buyer sets up affordable housing there????

Hasbro is the company which owns Mr. Potato Head. We all have heard of recent changes to the Potato Head line of toys.

I wonder if there are woke liberal types running the Hasbro company now...................

I wonder if they will institute Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax? Every trip around the board, will you have to count up all your assets, cash and property, and pay the 2% wealth tax, based on your wealth at that point in time?

>>Go to jail, go directly to jail. Will that change?<<

It will always be accompanied by an automatic “get out of jail free” card IF you are not a straight white male.

Our country is made up of a bunch of a.......!

And the other half are deplorables. That would be you and me.

We're one messed up nation. We kill babies and make heroes out of criminals. Crazy...

I still own a VHS version of Song of the South in the original with Japanese sub-titling. I bought it while we were living there.
