I fully expect this to be a propaganda picture.
The Graham's at least had skin the game, Donald Graham, son of Katherine, who went on to be the owner, served as a Private with the 1st Cav in Vietnam. With the family connections, he could have easily got out of the draft, but instead he volunteered. Then he went on to be DC cop in one of the worst precincts in the city.

Free the culture from a poisonous influence that affects the future of the nation through it’s children. Don’t worry. I don’t think they’ll start repossessing people’s personal anime collection. You’ll always have your waifus and tissue box, Hwen.

It’s poison free as long as it’s easy to ignore for most people.

If you don’t have any skin in the game, it is invariably easier to lay down, ignore what you don’t like, and get tunnel vision about the state of things, opening yourself up to a knife in the dark when you least expect it.
