Netflix changed how we watch TV, but it didn't really change what we watch...
Netflix has achieved its incredible growth by taking distribution away from cable companies. Instead of watching The Office on cable, people now watch The Office on Netflix.
This edge isn't sustainable.
...
Disney's cable business has stagnated over the past seven years. But in about 175 days, Disney is set to launch its own streaming service called Disney+.It's going to charge $6.99/month—around $6 cheaper than Netflix.
And it's pulling all its content off of Netflix.
This is a big deal.
No more Bunk'd on Netflix? Nooooooooooooooo...

quite wrong. its always been the R policy to short change the common person to to prop up the 'businessman'.
the anti-NN is perfectly aligned with R policies.
if an R gets in, he'll continue to fuck the regular person over. its what they do!
zero chance an R will undo anything along these lines. these days, the R's are mostly about 'whatever the black guy did, we HAVE to undo'. just for spite (its called 'stigginit'; aka, sticking it to 'the libs'. even if it makes your own life harder, as long as you did something harmful to those horrible libs, its ok. that's their MO and its how you can know they are an R).
this 'both sides are bad' is 100% wrong, in this case. all the bad is on the side of the R's. by design, in fact.

Both Ds and Rs are owned by big business interests, just different ones. Neither has ever done shit for small business owners.

Thinking both, either, or neither side is "bad" depends utterly on how one defines "bad" and "Good". An objectivist would believe that such definitions should be accepted by all, is all.
Despite that, the second that the D's get control of both houses (and/or the Presidency) they will be mostly about 'whatever the orange guy did, we HAVE to undo'. And neither side will truly be doing for spite, but to prove control and try and align things with their ideology, even if it drives unemployment up because as long as those stupid neocons get a comeuuppance it's OK.
And it's actually because bipartisanship is dead because people no longer judge the effectiveness of their leaders on how well they cooperate but rather how well they prove to their bases how much they stuck it to the other side. On both sides, just with different spin. Because these days independents have no power and it's all about the base 'bout the base 'bout the base (no dissenters).
