I was thinking about what if we had more satirical and ironic humor in our articles to attract a more sophisticated demographic for our site.
Here is a little example I made if we had an article on Reagan/Reaganomics and incorporated satire in judicious amounts.
I am so tired of listening to people not getting a boner when Reagan is mentioned in causal conversation. I admit I liked Reagan for his simple way of explaining what he wanted from a bill or a policy and that this gets me moist. But when it came to things such as economics, he was simply the most brilliant President to have a perfect understanding of how to strength the economy. His brilliance was called Reaganomics.
Here is what Reaganomics entails.
Deduct government spending,
Reduce income and capital gains marginal tax rates,
Reduce government regulation of the economy,
Control the money supply to reduce inflation.
This is suppose to cause the wealth to trick down. Not only does the method of give me more power to acquire wealth, less regulations so I can go about my collection of wealth, and exploitation of of the common worker. But it also suggests that "we" who benefit from Reaganomics are like the master of the house while all the poor people are dogs who are fighting for the nice, juicy bones to fall to the ground. This is my favorite part about the whole Reaganomics. The accurate comparison to that of animals and poor people. It is so funny cause it is true.
All this talk about how a strong middle class and regulation is silly. Like long term economic stability structured around the group with the majority of economic power actually makes me more wealthy? Hahaha, foolish plebeians. This is not the way things work. So keep giving me more power and one day, you might catch one of my juice bones.
I think it would be good if we started incorporating satire in our articles much like I did with this little essay.
