Now we are officially in another depression. Surely William Randolph Hearst threw opulent Christmas parties during the Great Depression, right? (Well, the Depression saw Hearst lose control of his company and sell off many of his vast and glorious treasures. But he still threw parties dammit. ) This Depression must be even Greater! It’s official! The only chance Hearst has of making it through the coming dark times is to gin up support for a foreign war, probably.
