The Trump-er Games


Sending young people back to work to restart the economy. Allowing their immune systems to duke it out on the low-income service economy front lines. Knowing with crystalline certainty that many will get ill and some will die, but sacrificing a few in service of the one-percenters to preserve the status quo. Sounds a lot like the Hunger Games to me.

Since that title is already taken, may I suggest The Trump-er Games? Scheduled to kick off on Easter, of course, so we can all better appreciate the grandiosity of an American business resurrection.

P.S. If anyone asks, the "er" was added for phonetic similarity to the original, and because the emergency room is likely to figure prominently in the story.
