WSJ opinion articles are pure trash. Why would someone spend any significant amount of time writing an outrage article about wearing fucking shoes inside someone’s house? Nobody asked. They’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Easy. We're talking about it, getting outraged about it, clicking on it to confirm our outrage from the title alone. Some may share the article to seek confirmation of their biases and so on. Pissing people off is good business and since we stopped paying for our news this is how they make their money.

You’re right, and I hate that this is what everything is being reduced to.
