IIRC the Americans were fully aware of the derisive nature of the song but as they started winning the battles and eventually the war they reclaimed it in a middle finger, “guess what, we won anyway” fashion.

“We’ll be very thoughtful about how to absolutely maximize our profits from this”

I mean, they’ve already been getting revenue from product placements in their sports games, many of which sell at or near AAA prices already.

Welp, feel bad for the kid whose picture was featured with this headline!

“Hey Tina, one of the stock photos you did was published as the feature image for an article in an international newspaper!”

“Really?! What was the article about? The benefits of exercise?”

If they have the corral I put it in the corral. If not I will bring it back to the store or try to avoid taking it to my car in the first place so I can leave it at the store and not come back.

The key is to return the cart to a designated location where the store is asking that they be returned.

This was nowhere near the only deadly airship disaster, nor was it the last, but that’s not really what ended airship travel. With the advances in airplanes by the end of World War II, lighter-than-air ships just couldn’t compete. Even postwar piston aircraft were cruising at more than 3 times the speed of most airships with range to make nonstop transatlantic crossings, and once the jet age really started to take hold in the ’50s it was all over. I mean, by the ’60s multiple countries had started supersonic passenger aircraft programs. Not a lot of success there, but still there were nowhere near enough customers to support commercial service on airships when faster, cheaper options existed.
