Reason First: The Business of the Storm
Television networks seem to savor storms. They anticipate the coming of a hurricane or tropical storm with a giddiness and a twisted glee. They know that their ratings will shoot up at the mention of such natural phenomena and that advertisers will come crawling. Why is it always the case where there’s an anchorman or woman sitting pretty in an air-conditioned or heated newsroom, hair neatly combed, suit or blouse in place and bone dry, when a reporter and (his or her crew), in the field look like he or she just experienced a washing machine’s rinse cycle?

Reason First: Valuable Apple
How did Apple get to a trillion dollar market capitalization? How did so many lives change by being able to experience the products pushed out by Apple? The answers are clear. Apple creates top-notch iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and streaming services like Apple Music and media players like Apple TV amongst a whole host of other products and applications. When a launch of a new set of products occurs, some people go through sticker shock. They can’t believe that a phone would cost almost $1,500 if all the memory is included.

Reason First: The Case for Romanticism in the Cinema
Hollywood has figured out that there is an untapped audience yearning to see stories that reflect their lives up on the big screen. People flock to the movies to see the latest incarnation of super heroes or opioid addicts. But there is another set. This faction of the populace is tired of the putrid offerings that the mainstream studios produce every year. These people are earnest, smartworking, faith-filled Americans who just want to forego all of the blood and guts and gutter language and sexual situations. They seek out arts and entertainment that will bring them back to their roots or charge them to continue going down their faithful pathway. They seek to view wholesome, family-oriented entertainment. What is the response? Movies like Courageous (2011) God’s Not Dead (2014) I Can Only Imagine (2018) and God Bless the Broken Road (2018) are often low-budget ($2-$5 million) and take in considerable returns usually around $50 million- $80 million.
