“Save the children is basically a generic statement obviously,” lead convoy organizer Gordon Berry told PressProgress. “There’s a multitude of things you could be saving them from.”
Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,” but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools and the trans agenda and the math agenda, gender dysphoria – all of these things.”
Oh, so it’s mostly about being an anti-LGTBQ and education hate parade, with some flat earth and anti vax thrown in.
“Trudeau’s paying LGBTQ a million dollars”
Does he think LGTBQ is like a company or secret society or something?!
“You got to save them from the whole system.”
I can understand where he’s coming from here, the system clearly failed him.
I’d probably spend the day doing nice things for my wife
I don’t like self checkouts.
I don’t like fiddling with the thing, I don’t like how they lay the interface out (it’s designed to not be efficient, and there’s always so many clicks to pay), I don’t like entering vegetable UPC codes, I don’t like touching the screen 100 other people touched without it being cleaned, and I don’t like feeling like I’m being watched, and I don’t like context switching between scanning, choosing, and bagging.
I just want to load my items onto a belt, the cashier scans them and enters codes, then I bag them. I’ll simply say no to donating and tap my card and leave. Simple.
Life’s more affordable when you’re dead, plus it’s the only way out of your student loans.
Maybe streaming providers should acknowledge that people don’t want 6 different services, they’re anchored to Netflix from 5 years ago in terms of content score, quality, and price.
Everyone I know who tried the ad plan on Netflix dropped it, and in the past year I’ve cut which streaming services I subscribe to as content disappears and I’m asked to pay more for less.
My prediction for streaming is annual only contracts or stupid high monthly prices, lower quality, and ads getting baked into the higher tiers like cable.
Sort of, it was essentially free money for these companies to license content that didn’t even make the Walmart DVD bin. But now that streaming has replaced cable those companies want the full revenue to make up for it.
Netflix is profitable, they have a 13% profit margin, so streaming is sustainable even with super high R&D costs.
Everyone is trying to squeeze the customer and Netflix now and I think it’s doomed to fail. Nobody buys CDs, Nobody pays for an individual Columbia Records subscription, and nobody wants to have a separate streaming service for every “channel”. Ultimately what happened to music is going to happen to TV again because it’s inefficient for these companies to all be playing greedy forever.
