Sadly, this tone-deaf misstep from the beloved icon may be the biggest upset of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After remarking that \u201cParton is also a shark in the boardroom. She outfoxed the hapless Nashville, Tennessee, power brokers who once tried to control her career and has since built herself an empire\u201d while also noting her history as a philanthropist, Kelly said of the ad, \u201cParton had made a rare miscalculation. Rather than paying homage to the spirit of the original song, which made no bones about the exploitative nature of the daily grind, the commercial for Squarespace features a tinny ode to the side hustle. Its office workers are portrayed as being overjoyed to continue working after hours, their side hustles are painted as freeing, fun and fulfilling, and the song itself encourages them to \u2018be your own boss, climb your own ladder. It\u2019s a perfect storm of gig economy propaganda.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelly continued, \u201cNow, Parton\u2019s silvery voice is being used to promote the false virtues of working overtime \u2026 it\u2019s so disappointing to read the lyrics to this new song and hear her literally sing the praises of \u2018working, working, working.\u2019 It\u2019s not \u2018fun\u2019 or \u2018empowering\u2019 to juggle multiple jobs; it\u2019s an indictment of a system in which people aren\u2019t paid fairly and workers are squeezed down to the last drop of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelly concluded, <strong>\u201c<\/strong>And as much as we all love Parton, she\u2019s still a capitalist and still a very, very rich woman; she has a vested interest in boosting her public profile, and Squarespace surely paid dearly for the privilege of borrowing some of her sparkle. Parton doesn\u2019t need the money herself, but between funding her philanthropic efforts, supporting her family and local community and expanding her empire, I can see her welcoming an influx of filthy lucre. The reality is that it made good business sense, and she\u2019s always been a shrewd businesswoman. As Dolly Parton herself once said, \u2018It\u2019s a rich man\u2019s game,\u2019 and it looks like she\u2019s still in it to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media ripped the article with comments like these:<\/p>\n<p>Columnist Derek Hunter: \u201cYeah, hard work never got anyone anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yeah, hard work never got anyone anywhere. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WRnbDOREtZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/WRnbDOREtZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Reverend Doctor Jill Biden Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/derekahunter\/status\/1358662711689830407?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kira Davis of RedState: \u201cOnly a writer would actually say something like this out loud and expect it to be consumed as intelligent discourse.
