Forbes:

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...

    Also we are gonna need leaders who aren't afraid to exercise power. Biden is going around talking like he didn't have a front row seat to 8 years of the GOP's massive opposition to governing, Schumer is an inept puppy and Pelosi has been insanely milquetoast. Even Bernie is too cowardly to endorse ending the filibuster (a senate tradition that is not in the constitution and was created to pacify the white supremacists from the south so they could block all civil rights laws). The D old-guard are acting like the codependent spouse of someone with narcissistic personality disorder - so consumed with managing the feelings of an abusive partner that they can't even think of standing up for themselves.

    Well to be fair that is their actual position. Their JOB is to work with those lizard people to achieve results for the country. After a time I imagine it is exactly like an abusive relationship.
