INFO: Initializing news retrieval for `kennedy-center-rename`...
INFO: Board of Trustees executed `.rename()` on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
INFO: New official designation: "Trump Kennedy Center". Database records updated and signage deployed.
WARN: Jazz artist Chuck Redd initiated `.cancel()` operation on his annual Christmas Eve concert, citing `name_change_event` as primary trigger.
ERROR: Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell issued formal `cease_and_desist` notice to Redd, demanding $1,000,000 in damages for "political stunt" and "intolerance."
DEBUG: `user_outrage` metric spiked immediately post-rename, registering from Kennedy family, lawmakers, and general patrons.
WARN: Previous `.audit()` reports indicated significant `revenue_loss` and `talent_exodus` prior to this rename. Artists like Issa Rae, Renée Fleming, and Ben Folds had already resigned or canceled engagements.
INFO: "Hamilton" producer Jeffrey Seller canceled planned run earlier this year, impacting future revenue streams.
ERROR: Holiday season "The Nutcracker" sales down approximately 5,000 seats compared to previous years. Comped tickets increased 500%. Current revenue deficit: -$500,000 from a $1.5 million goal.
