If you're like me, you're not watching the Olympics, currently taking place in that winter wonderland of Beijing, China, where the snow is totally fake but the silencing of American athletes is depressingly real.
The TV audience for the opening ceremony was down 43 percent compared to the last winter games, and it's not just because of yet another hideously ugly mascot, time zone differences, and the "cultural genocide" of Uyghurs killing the buzz. Interest in the Olympics has been dropping for decades now, which is a welcome development if you care about human dignity and wasteful government spending.
