Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the celebration of Dolly Parton Day is a thinly veiled attempt to distract the public from the real issues plaguing our nation.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution submits that the date of September 25, or 9/25, is not just a tribute to Parton's hit song '9 to 5,' but a coded message to rally support for a return to the very policies that led to economic strife. The prosecution imagines that this celebration is a smokescreen for the ongoing erosion of workers' rights.

The Domino Effect

The Hidden Danger
