Anecdotal, being from Louisiana, this is what I’ve been pressured with my entire life.

I’m always surprised too. At least the market is sorta working.
In a lot of ways Netflix won. Many people aren’t going to bother pirating their content and would rather just pay or at least subscription hop. We’re in the greed portion of streaming where everyone wants a bigger and bigger slice. If Netflix did not create original content, I’m not sure they’d still be around.
Ironically this is a double edged sword. If they merge, expect prices to rise. Won’t be long before $100/mo is expected and accepted.
I know I’m not trying to participate in a war.
Many are just trying to make the best out of what we have and it often feels like we have such little impact on these things happening across the country, let along in other parts of the world. The world population approaches 8 billion. Our impact is often meaningful in some way, but incredibly limited overall.
How can someone truly help with something across the world, like Ukraine/Russia and now Israel/Gaza, when conflict is constant and many also have to simply survive, in the face of entities that are capable of spending trillions of dollars.
I really don’t understand how the Wagner group can exist. Like what are you fighting for? It doesn’t seem worth it.
People have a hard time with nuance.
