mr. peanut died because his top hat and monocle were symbols of the oppressive class structure that crushes both peanuts and the people most likely to eat them, thus he was no longer an appropriate brand mascot. the proletariat came for him and it will come for you next

December job growth:

@bencasselman @NirajC ...is that President Trump keeps talking about those sectors like it's still 2018. "This is a blue-collar boom," he said in Davos yesterday.
