So we’re back with Can’t Let it Go again this week. Maybe we’ll give you something fun to talk about at church coffee hour or between rounds of bar trivia next week.

Wait. The Bald Eagle Wasn’t the National Bird?

JASON: The Bald Eagle is on our currency, military seals, Presidential flags, national seal, well, it’s everywhere. But some authors discovered recently that the Bald Eagle was never officially designated as the country’s official bird. Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Wyoming Republican Cynthia Lummis took action last week to try to rectify the problem and got the U.S. Senate to approve the designation by unanimous consent. (Getting something through the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent should be applauded in itself.)

Of course, we’d argue that it’s typical government: Let’s just assume Congress did something and they never actually took action. Kind of like when the S.C. General Assembly finally got around to outlawing dueling a few years ago.

Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin and his love of the turkey is giggling. And I’ve been obsessing over this story all week.

Read that fine print…

NIKKI: As your resident millennial, I’m signed up to just about every streaming service there is. Yes, I know I’m paying as much as I’d be paying for cable. No, I don’t want to hear it. But when I saw this headline, I have to admit that I thought twice about all that fine print I’ve signed without reallyyyy reading it.

After Dr. Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant, Disney is trying to get her widower’s wrongful death lawsuit tossed by pointing to the fine print of a Disney+ trial he signed up for years earlier. Apparently, this fine print said that “any dispute between You and Us, Except for Small Claims, is subject to a class action waiver and must be resolved by individual binding arbitration.” Per NPR, “Arbitration is generally considered a more efficient and cost-effective method of resolving disputes than litigation, and Disney said explicitly in court documents that the ‘main benefit of arbitration is avoiding heavy litigation costs.'” Jeffrey Piccolo, the widower, is seeking $50,000 plus legal fees. I can’t help but think that this case is going to cost Disney a lot more than that now, given the potential brand losses, legal fees and crisis PR fees that are sure to come.

I hope that Mr. Piccolo and his wife’s estate can come to a reasonable conclusion with Disney, and I’ll be sure to be keeping a closer eye on my fine print.
