"We want to continue the work to balance the budget," the President said...to keep interest rates down and keep the economy moving.

You know the drill. Someone does, or says, something offensive. A public backlash -- typically on Twitter -- ensues. Then come the calls to "cancel" that person, brand, or institution. That usually means the loss of cultural cache, political clout, and often a job or career.
