Thinking way down the road

Before shrugging and moving on - ask yourself if you support any smaller private media companies in any way at all - enabling them to bring you news with less bias, less agenda, and more fact checking.

It could be by viewing their ads with your ad blocker off, paying a subscription, or donating.

If you are unwilling to support any such media company in any way, I don’t think a complaint that media is all consolidated and doesn’t have your interests at heart is particularly compelling.

That’s kind of interesting. You mean candidate might start to reply and fumble their words and then ask for a restart?

Isn’t Costco known for essentially talking very little profits on goods and earning much/most of their profit through the $65 membership fee?

Some people would do the math and decide if that’s worth it for them or not.

Doesn’t seem like exploitation, just don’t shop there if it’s not worth it.

• The media covers whatever gets them paid.
• Trump figured out how to hack the media cycle. When the news gets spicy, he just makes even spicier news. (Real life “one simple trick!”)
• Everyone is so fatigued by the endless chaos that they start to tune it out.
• The eye of sauron shifts and nobody cares about January 6 anymore, because that mofo is an actual contender to be elected yet again. That alone is more palpably terrifying news.

I hate that my first thought is insurance will use this as a way to avoid paying out

A lot of speculation, not too many facts. Either way, fewer insurance options is yet another thing that makes these things unreasonably complicated and expensive to own.

I sure hope there is some mechanism to compensate content creators because without traffic, there will be no new articles.

I gotta work this weekend.
