It’s the universal solvent

Nah, we should be hauling insurance and healthcare executives out into the streets for creating this dystopian situation so they could make their quarterly bonuses for a couple decades.

It’s just the dormant Confederacy virus reappearing because host conditions have deteriorated

Texas has been GOP governed for 28 years; this is absolutely what they want.

Companies headquartered in Texas should be boycotted.

I would like Tim Burton to direct, so there’s a chance Tuvix gets the upper hand and lives, and Janeway ends up a corpse bride, or some other excuse to shoehorn in Helena Bonham Carter.

I get how the technology has changed. As an elder millennial, my entire life has been a constant shift of technology. From analog to digital, and back again- from betamax to DVDs, from 8 tracks to tapes to pocket rockers to mini discs to ipods. And including resurgences as people “discovered” the benefits of vinyl.

My point is that this new paradigm has shifted ownership of what we pay for away from consumers, to give gatekeeping power to corporate entities that can shut down, or shut off access, on a whim. And what’s the ROI? Increasing access costs without ownership is just a more expensive lease.

I am simply arguing that physical media puts consumers in a greater position of control over the property they have paid for than streaming. And I am intimating that it’s by design that technology “leaders” have moved away from allowing people to OWN what they buy.
