To frame #Grinch vs #Scrooge as a mere new-for-old replacement misses half the point of #AChristmasCarol: it’s not just a redemption story, but—like much of #Dickens’ work—also a critique of the class system.

The "Gundam Effect" is when you tell a story that has significant weight and meaning to it, but you use a framing device so intrinsically appealing that the message gets lost in it. The horrors of war and how it's not an atrocity a thinking species should commit on itself, but you told us with cool robot fights so that's what we notice.
... perhaps no greater example than A Christmas Carol though.
"See, the modern way of urban thinking is fundamentally dehumanizing! Scrooge makes those around him miserable by keeping a personal austerity code and demanding no more than everyone around him adhere to it!"
"Got it! It's about buying a goose for poor people."
"No, it's about the notion that there is so much surplus wealth in this damn city, but people suffer because it's locked behind the walls of people who can't even use it. Scrooge has a room for his spare furniture! He lives alone!"
"Ah, got it. It's about how greedy bastards are the real problem."
"No! He's not greedy, he's a product of the fundamental rules of this Victorian era that have supplanted a more collectivist understanding of how to treat each other! How much better this grim and finite existence would be if we could recognize our shared experience of it and~"
"... and be well-liked so you get into heaven instead of being tossed into a hell-pit or experiencing living cremation."
"That's the movie adaptations!!!"

Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025
Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

180 Jahre "A #Christmas Carol" Warum #dickens #Scrooge noch immer #fasziniert

I just started "A Christmas Carol" (1984) with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I'm watching it on Tubi, which is streaming TV with ads.
He was such an incredible actor. I'm 6 minutes in, and already it's powerful. 😲

Getting comfortably into #Scrooge mode. I wouldn't put up any decorations til Christmas Eve, as per English tradition. Endured badly sung carols and, worse, recorded pop #Christmas pop songs at a community lights switch-on. #Humbug. The things I do for the #community.
However, on the eve itself the ghost of Christmas Future or at least Marley's ghost visit me and I'm the very #Pickwick at Dingley Dell himself on the 25th. -
who go in the past to solve a case for #Zapotec & #Marlin up to 12 hours, the other one about Colombo told by themselves to Tip & Tap for a school research. The other 3 ones on #Donald who tells #TheIronMask to impress #Daisy and “envy” #Gladstone; on #July4th told by the nephews to encourage Donald to face debts and #Scrooge; Donald dreaming after being hit on the head by the nephews’ red toy triplane. 400 pages, hardened paper, cost at the time 9900 Lire (today €6.88).

As we have still yet to reach Twelfth Night, I’m still sporting a seasonally appropriate #pinbadge on my old #tweed sport coat each day. Today’s is the just arrived new #Crow #Scrooge badge from Bush Bling. It well suits both the season and the #Dickensian reading I’ve been doing as of late.

Today’s main Christmas movie was the Albert Finney Scrooge, with the scene stealing Edith Evans playing Edith Evans, and Alec Guinness as Marley. I’ll freely admit this musical version isn’t my favourite version of the story, and that it isn’t Ronald Neame’s best, especially compared to the wonderful Brief Encounter, The Man That Never Was, or even The Poseidon Adventure that followed.
