Retail Theft Ring Busts Reveal Some Hard Truths
By John F. Di Leo

*** begin quote ***

Los Angeles County Sheriff Department detectives proudly announced a complex and successful sting this week. 

A retail theft ring has been caught red-handed, with millions of dollars’ worth of make-up, perfume, pharmaceuticals, and more, stolen from stores in and around California, much of it still bearing store tags.  

Product has been recovered; at least a dozen locations have been revealed. Multiple fences have been identified, with eight arrests announced at the start, and likely more to follow. They will prove that shoplifting rings were organized to hit the stores that had what the fences wanted – from pharmacies like CVS to big box stores like Walmart.

*** and ***

One of the hallmarks of today’s progressive prosecutors – the many Soros-funded district attorneys of cities and counties like Los Angeles – is the public declaration that police resources are too valuable, and capitalist retailers too unimportant and undeserving of protection, to waste time on prosecuting “minor crimes” like retail theft valued under some arbitrary figure of $800 or $1,000. This position has always been shameful and indefensible, but is all the more so in light of organized theft rings like the one in today’s news. 

*** end quote ***

If the police are doing their jobs and the criminals are back on the street before they finish the paperwork then why are we surprised as crime wipes out society.

When we “vote” for these politicians and bureaucrats, then we are accepting the moral decline of our country.

Murders get a slap ion the wrist and thieves get a free pass.

It is the voters fault!

POLITICAL: Defund NPR — it’s only “fair”

NPR editor quit after telling the truth about liberal bias in media. It’s time to defund them.

  • NPR in recent years has gone from being something I enjoy to something that more often than not leaves me shaking my head.

Here’s a solution: Defund NPR

NPR – National Public Radio – isn’t just another media outlet. It’s funded in part by taxpayers, which places it in a different position than say The New York Times, The Washington Post or even my news organization.

Private publications are free to do what they want, although I think more are waking up to the need for more viewpoint diversity. It’s simply a smart business decision to reach a broader audience.

While Berliner argues that NPR still deserves public funding, I disagree. 

He writes: “As the country becomes more fractured, there’s still a need for a public institution where stories are told and viewpoints exchanged in good faith.”

Yet, NPR is offering no confidence that it will embrace anything close to the viewpoint diversity that it now lacks. Its new CEO, Katherine Maher, is getting attention because of social media posts she made before she was hired, including calling former President Donald Trump a “racist sociopath” and boasting of wearing a Joe Biden campaign hat in public.

That doesn’t bode well. 

If NPR wants to double down on its woke mission, fine. But it shouldn’t do it on my dime – or that of other taxpayers. 

NPR claims that “federal funding is essential to public radio’s service to the American public and its continuation is critical for both stations and program producers, including NPR.”

Strict New Limits On Water Chemicals Announced: See NJ Impacts

  • The rule is the first national drinking water limit on toxic PFAS, which have been linked to various health issues.

Nicole Rosenthal, Patch Staff
Posted Fri, Apr 12, 2024 at 2:42 pm ET

*** begin quote ***

NEW JERSEY — In an extraordinary move Wednesday, the federal government imposed strict new limits on “forever chemicals” in public water systems, a costly undertaking for New Jersey’s local water utilities that many say will ultimately fall on the backs of taxpayers.

The Environmental Protection Agency mandate requires that the perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, known collectively as PFAS, be reduced to near-zero levels. The rule is the first national drinking water limit on toxic PFAS, which are widespread, long-lasting in the environment and have been linked to cancer and a host of other health problems.

They’re ubiquitous, found in everything from food packaging and cookware to dental floss and other personal care items to children’s toys and firefighting foams.

At least 45 percent of U.S. water systems have one or more types of PFAS chemicals, according to a 2023 study by the U.S. Geological Survey. In New Jersey, PFAS have been found in public water systems in Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, Naval Weapons Station Earle, Woodbury Creek, Gloucester County Fire Training Area, Solvay Specialty Polymers Plant and the New Jersey Air National Guard Base, among others.

Health advocates praised the Environmental Protection Agency for not backing away from tough limits the agency proposed last year. But water utilities took issue with the rule, saying treatment systems are expensive to install and that customers will end up paying more for water.

*** end quote ***

And I am sure that I get mailings every year from different “water suppliers” and municipalities telling my how “good” the water was.  Were those just lies?

Of course, the taxpayers and rate payers will pay more for this new and improved water. 

Argh!

Maybe instead of the Unintended Consequences of Gooferment “water”, people could be given a free market choice.  For example, if I use the new and improved water for my grass, then maybe I don’t want to pay more for it.  Ditto, flushing the toilet.  And, how about the concrete wash out basins, do they need the new and improved more expensive water?

Of course, with Gooferment solutions, there are no choices.

I guess all the folks buying bottled water may have had good reason too.

Argh!

Sure, it would be great to reduce oil consumption… Geez if only there were another technology that was multiples more energy efficient than oil, but was simultaneously clean and green?

Oh wait, that technology already exists. It’s called nuclear.

But the green fanatics don’t like nuclear either… because they are Inspired Idiots. So their one-track minds are focused on stopping oil.

Just imagine if Honolulu’s lawsuit succeeds, and the city is awarded punitive damages; it would open up the floodgates for class action lawsuits around the world. Every city, state, and country in the world would be able to sue in the name of climate change.

No oil company would survive, and no investor or entrepreneur would touch the sector. The cost of energy would skyrocket… which would increase the cost of everything. Powering your home. Heating your home. Food. Medicine. EVERYTHING.

Far-Left Calls for SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor Retirement Reveal Dems Believe in Trump Victory.

*** begin quote ***

Democrats are increasingly calling on Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign from the Supreme Court before the 2024 presidential election, suggesting a widespread belief that former President Donald Trump will win.

Sotomayor is 69, a lifelong diabetic, and the oldest liberal member of the court. Should Trump win the election and Sotomayor need to retire in the next four years due to her health, conservatives could secure a 7-2 majority.

*** end quote ***

Maybe each President should get to select one Justice in each term.  Nine justices times 4 years is a 36 year term.  Seems like “lifetime” is impractical in today’s life spans.  So, stagger their terms.  Each President gets to pick one.  Still have the problem of death, disability, and retirement,  but it would be better than the chaos that we have around election time.

And, I’m not so sure that a 7-2 conservative majority is a sure thing.  Given how the justices seem to be all closet liberals.

Hochul sets Feb. 13 House special election to replace NY’s George Santos
By Social Links for Vaughn Golden and Carl Campanile
Published Dec. 5, 2023, 6:14 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A special election to fill the congressional seat vacated by expelled former Rep. George Santos will take place on Feb. 13, 2024, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday.

Hochul set the date for the vote in New York’s Third Congressional District one day after calling her former challenger, ex-Rep. Tom Suozzi, to the governor’s mansion in Albany to bend the knee following his ill-fated primary bid last year.

“We had a good meeting and cleared the air, and I appreciate her making the time,” Suozzi said. “At a time of strong political division, I offered to be another moderate voice as the Governor works to solve problems and make progress.”

Suozzi repped the Queens and Nassau County district for six years before leaving to run against Hochul in the gubernatorial race, opening the way for Santos to upset Democrat Robert Zimmerman as part of a midterm red wave in the Empire State.

John Nolte  — 21 Oct 2023

*** begin quote ***

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was produced by … Taylor Swift and her team. It was also distributed by … Taylor Swift and her team. Swift Inc. froze Hollywood out and went straight to the theater chains. The result has been a box office triumph. In its first weekend, The Eras Tour grossed $93 million domestic and $124 million worldwide. After only three days, Swift already had the highest-grossing concert film in history. Moreover, she enjoyed the second biggest October opening weekend ever. Only Joker (2019) topped her, and…

Hollywood had nothing to do with any of it.

Hollywood did not make one penny off of it.

And…

This so terrifies Hollywood that Hollywood’s palace guards at the far-left Hollywood Reporter spent 1,500 words last week spinning Swift’s box office triumph into a mistake. And what was the mistake? She didn’t distribute The Eras Tour through the same studios that advertise at the far-left Hollywood Reporter.

POLITICAL: Universities should be silently neutral in all debates

Published on by reinkefjLeave a comment

FROM TOM WOODS EMAIL NEWSLETTER

*** begin quote ***

It so happens that the University of Chicago adopted precisely the correct position all the way back in 1967, in what became known as the Kalven Report.

The answer: the university itself remains neutral, but the professors themselves are free to do and say as they like. 

The university, the statement said, had “a great and unique role to play in fostering the development of social and political values in a society,” but that role is one “for the long term.” Day-to-day debates were not matters for solemn and official statements by the university per se.”

“There is no mechanism by which it can reach a collective position without inhibiting that full freedom of dissent on which it thrives. It cannot insist that all of its members favor a given view of social policy; if it takes collective action, therefore, it does so at the price of censuring any minority who do not agree with the view adopted.”

It is the professors themselves who are to carry out the debate. The university is “the home and sponsor of critics; it is not itself the critic.”

This, it seems to me, is the correct approach. No more writing to express your outrage that University X hasn’t yet issued a statement on Issue Y. Its opinion on Issue Y is moronic and worthless anyway. These “statements” by university presidents are better left unwritten. I promise you, dear reader, the world will be a better place without them.

It’s The Border, Stupid!
By Brian C. Joondeph

*** begin quote ***

As the 2024 presidential election nears with the world on the brink of, or already in, World War Three, America must make a serious choice in 13 months. Will America course correctly or slide into bankruptcy and irrelevancy on the world stage? Perhaps the feckless Republicans need a rallying cry.

Bill Clinton had one when he ran against ruling class scion George HW Bush. “It’s the economy stupid” was a phrase James Carville coined in 1992 when he was advising Bill Clinton in his successful run for the White House.

In 2023, it’s the economy again, but not only the economy. Our national debt is over $33 trillion, growing by $5 billion a day, with interest payments costing taxpayers almost $2 billion each day. Much of it is or was going to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, holding no vital US interest, or spent on the nonsensical “Green New Deal,” while most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

POLITICAL: Just say “no” to Federal Funds!

Why State Schools Should Refuse Federal Money
By Sheri Few

*** begin quote ***

The key to eliminating federal intervention in government schools is to eliminate federal funding.

The time is right for states to wean themselves off the federal dole. Serious conversations are taking place throughout the country about the legitimate and effective role of the federal government in education. But who has a viable plan to dismantle the behemoth?

The “Blueprint to Establish State Control of Education by Eliminating all Federal Education Dollars,” written by United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) outlines the necessary steps to restore state sovereignty for education policy and practice — and it’s achievable.

The Blueprint explains detailed steps to help governors and state legislators develop and execute a concrete plan, and even provides clear evidence as to how educational outcomes can improve.

States can eliminate federal funding in four steps:

1. Analyze education funds by source: federal, state, and local.

2. Conduct a Cost of Compliance Study for federal funds.

3. Identify state programs to replace USED programs.

4. Shift education revenue responsibilities entirely back to the state.

*** and ***

One approach to generate required revenue could be to establish a state tax called “offset to federal funds” calculated to collect the amount needed. Since most of the federal tax is collected from income taxes, a replacement tax using the same model might be most easily understood by the public.

To keep from sending the federal government the money they previously took and gave back, taxpayers would need a mechanism to deduct this offset from their individual federal taxes. Since the state and local tax deductions were eliminated in the last major tax bill, a special arrangement would have to be made. However, there is benefit to the federal government in this arrangement as the savings from program improvements would be shared with them, since only the replacement funding is deducted.

*** end quote ***

Like the mouse that doesn’t understand “free cheese”, so to “We, The Sheeple” need to just say “no” to “Federal funds”.

First off, there are NO “Federal funds”  — EVERYTHING comes from the Taxpayer in one way or another.

(The idea of sending money to the Federal Gooferment and getting pennies on the dollars back tied to conditions NEVER made any sense to me.  Eliminate all the layers and cost associated with it.)

Second, the results of Gooferment Skrules is absurd.

Argh!

Stop it.

But the gloves are now off. So much about the American political system is rooted in precedent, and a precedent has been set that will allow Trump to open investigations into the many troubling actions taken by his predecessors. Another Trump election could bring true generational change to America for the better. He has vowed he would quickly bring down inflation and gas prices, strengthen the economy, secure the border, and reintroduce a strong America on the global stage in just months. But taking on the Deep State is most important now, and he has demonstrated that he understands how vital this task is for America’s long-term future by recently urging Republicans in Congress to “fight fire with fire.” He also referenced “an eye for an eye” when asked, if re-elected, if he would “lock up” those in government who commit crimes.

LIBERTY: Big Pharma is trying to absolve “the Jab” from all the myocarditis

Truth is out! COVID mRNA technology gene based Vaccination is the Primary Cause of Serious Myocarditis, it is not the virus! The Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is working hard to shift the blame from COVID mRNA vaccines onto COVID/SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Dr. Paul Alexander  — Aug 16, 2023

*** begin quote ***

‘I agree with Joe Rogan who says Alex Jones is the most misunderstood man on earth. I had the pleasure go on his long program on the InfoWars channel early in August, 2023. This program covers in detail: 1) COVID-19 vaccine induced myocarditis—screening detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and management, 2) celebrity vaccine injury syndromes, 3) normalization of cardiac events in healthy young vaccinated people by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, 4) developments in Washington including Senator Rand Paul and his pursuit of Dr. Anthony Fauci for criminal activity during the pandemic response that led to unnecessary hospitalization and death of Americans and people across the globe.

*** and ***

Jones addressed “normalization” of heart attacks and cardiac arrests in children. I made it clear that it was not COVID-19 illness in 2020 that caused the problems we are seeing now with the vaccines.

It is obvious the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is working hard to shift the blame from COVID-19 vaccines onto SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sadly, most people worldwide have had both exposures. Long COVID or post-acute sequelae syndromes are due to the combination of infection and vaccines which both afflict the body with accumulating, damaging Wuhan Spike protein.

*** end quote ***

I’m neither a fan or critic of Alex Jones.  I am a critic of Big Pharma for the mRNA “vaccination” scam and results.  Some of which was due to the stupidity of “We, The Sheeple” which let themselves be scared into taking an untested technology at the urging of politicians and bureaucrats!

The number of deaths and disabilities cause by the Jab is inconceivable and incomprehensible.  Young people are dropping dead is unprecedented numbers and no one is screaming for answers.

It also appears that politicians and bureaucrats have gotten rich off this new technology. (I remember Faucci saying he only got some small royalties; turns out to be millions!)

Alex Jones may get stuff wrong and go off the rails at times, but sometimes he is correct.

When do we get the “truth”?

…

“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men played by Jack Nicholson

…

We can’t get the truth from the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats.  And the media is just the Gooferment’s press secretary.  So we have to listen to the Conspiracy Theorists for the truth.

Throw All the Bums Out

By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

The reason is simple: if Marxist globalists get their way, then sovereign U.S. powers will continue to be unlawfully delegated to the U.N., the WHO, and other international monstrosities until some Obama-type tyrant is ruling over us all from Turtle Bay or a stately castle outside Brussels.

*** and ***

Our Union came into existence only because the former colonies were assured that they would maintain their freedom and independence. Had the Articles of Confederation or their successor, the U.S. Constitution, sought to extinguish the individual states’ inherent sovereignties by replacing their discrete political powers with those of a single new nation, then no agreement to form a Union would have ever been reached. The colonies did not fight a war for their independence from an empire only to squander their victory and become part of another empire.

*** and ***

What we need is a movement of people who recognize that nullification is not only possible, but necessary. The problem is that Americans have been forced to choose between two private corporations posing as political parties that do not embrace a duty to protect Americans’ freedom and liberty. That is perhaps the most telling symptom of our current problems. A Union that was formed to protect the people’s inalienable rights and liberties has no political party addressing those foundational concerns on the national stage.  

Perhaps it is time to throw all the bums out, so that we may begin representing ourselves.

Let’s start by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment which “defanged” the States from controlling the Federal (Central) Gooferment.

How to Restore America’s Middle Class

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Aug 1, 2023

*** begin quote ***

I grew up during the heyday of American economic prosperity. It was in the 1950s and 1960s that the archetype of the American Dream was born. It was not something available only to a lucky few; it was within the reach of most Americans. Yes, some were left out, notably African-Americans and Native Americans, but for a golden moment we all believed that we would someday soon eradicate poverty in those communities too, and usher in an age of universal prosperity.

The middle class won’t recover overnight, but here are some of the things I’ll do as President to improve the lives of the middle segment of society. 

*** end quote ***

I’d like to refute his specific prescriptions from little L libertarian pov.

“Renegotiate free trade agreements and impose compensatory tariffs on imports from low-wage countries.”

Tarriffs are a tax on “We, The Sheeple”.  A better suggestion would be to End The Fed from whence all bad things economically come.

“Rein in military spending.”

Again End The Fed which allows the Congress to borrow and spend. End the Warfare State and we don’t “need” a huge “military budget” which is a payoff to the Military Industrial Complex who in turn pay off the politicians and bureaucrats.

“Cut healthcare costs with Medicare-for-all, restrict pharmaceutical companies’ profiteering, and redirect a portion of medical research toward inexpensive natural, holistic, and alternative therapies.”

We don’t need more welfare.  Put the patients aback in charge by implementing a copay.  That how insurance companies moderate demand.  Eventually push the true cost completely to the consumer.  Break up the large corporations into smaller competitive units. 

“Implement some form of student debt relief. Allow student debt to be dischargeable in bankruptcy. Cut interest rates on student loans to zero.”

Kill Sallie Mae and all the GSEs that encourage irational debt.  Make the schools liable for their “product” and their sales techniques. It was used on the for profit “education” mills.

“Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour – about the level it was in 1968 – which will raise the floor on all wages and return a share of productivity growth back to workers.”

Zero is the correct minimum wage.  It would allow the poor minorities who are screwed by a bad “education lobby” to begin to climb the ladder to success. Never saw a “poor plumber”.  

“Close loopholes and tighten enforcement against illegal corporate union-busting activity. The NLRB and Department of Justice must take vigorous action to enforce the letter and the spirit of the law.”

Close the loopholes where large corporations prevent competition by “lawfare”, “intellectual property”, and media manipulation.  Use the tax code to: (1) limit the size of corporation buy limiting their top line size; and (2) change the CEO and all corporate types comp :(1) from cash  — no one’s salary should be larger than the Presidents  — to their corporate bonds laddered over some number of decades (like Wall Street does vesting bonus over years to keep employees in “golden handcuffs”).  This would change the focus on “quarterly earnings” to long term fiscal stability (i.e., why should past managements get take the loot and walks away from the disaster they leave behind).

Sorry but RFK Jr. is a liberal democrat who sees Gooferment as the answer.  Us little L libertarians see the Gooferment as the problem.

POLITICAL: Hard time for election fraud!

The Achilles Heel of Mail-In Ballot Fraud
By Jay Valentine

*** begin quote ***

What we have here is something of true beauty: one government database showing the nonsense in another government database. When leftists say “show me the fraud,” one needs only to do one click — “voters who voted in 2022, who the government tax records note are ineligible.”

In 2024, the leftists are pulling out all the stops. Hundreds of thousands of American voters will wake up in the 90 days before the election with strangers living in their homes, apartment buildings, the local 7-11, or the vacant field. Those are the Trump anti-votes.

*** end quote ***

The Left’s cry of “show us the fraud” is actually funny.

Here’s examples of it for which there is NO remedy.

I’m so frustrated.  Why have rules when they are ignored?  Election fraud should be a mandatory 5 year hard time in a federal prison.  These are NOT innocent mistakes.

Argh!

RFK Jr. Announces Bold Plan to Back Dollar With Bitcoin, End Bitcoin Taxes

Speaking at a Heal-the-Divide PAC event, Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outlined specific Bitcoin-focused policies that he would enact as president, including gradually backing the U.S. dollar with bitcoin and making bitcoin profits exempt from capital gains taxes.

 

 # – # – # – # – # 

Well RFKjr is certainly not a “libertarian”, but he is impressive on a lot of the issues I care about: WWW3 / Ukraine, dismantling the Deep State particularly the CIA, opposing the Central Bank Digital Currency, maybe ending the FED, and prosecuting the villains responsible for the COVID19 pandemic. He is certainly shaking up the UNIPARTY like DJT45 does and moving the Overton window of “allowable opinions”. Only Tucker Carlson has had a more dramatic impact on the 2024 Presidential election by “killing RINOs”.

 

Pass the popcorn,

This HAS to be good for Joe Sixpack and the rest of us.

POLITICAL: Maybe the right little L libertarian could slip in?

Democrats freaking out about potential third-party presidential spoiler

Commentary By Editorial Board – The Washington Times – Friday, July 14, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

No Labels insists there’s a path forward for a third-party candidate, citing a recently conducted poll where an independent candidate, on the ballot with Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, starts the race with 21% support. The group insists it would be able to increase that base into a winning margin and not be a spoiler.

No Labels says its polling shows the public is open to a third-party candidate. According to an NBC News poll last month, 44% of registered voters say they are willing to consider supporting a third-party or independent presidential candidate if Messrs. Biden and Trump are the two major-party nominees in 2024.

No Labels is already on the ballot in five states, and hopes to get on all 50.

*** end quote ***

Perhaps this might be the year, if the D’s split by RFKjr and others, and, the R’s split by the “never trumpets”, then the Libertarian Party which has ballot access in all 50 states just might “win”.   If by “winning”, that it hands the Electoral College and throws the race into the House where each State gets ONE vote.

Pass the popcorn, it should be a hoot!

POLITICAL: A mandatory retirement age for politicians and bureaucrats!

The blueprint is set to end Joe Biden’s shaky reign in the White House
By Michael Goodwin 
July 8, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” 

*** and ***

Meanwhile, Dems could have an open primary, with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sens. Amy Klobachur, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, and Pete Buttigieg and other dreamers free to pick up where they left off in 2020. 

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders would probably try again and why not Hillary, too? 

It all sounds far-fetched — until you imagine a Trump-Biden rematch, with Biden hobbled by a terrible first term and both candidates accused of crimes. 

If Democrats stick with Biden under those circumstances, they’ll be inviting the second coming of Trump.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like we need to put a mandatory retirement age along with term limits amount some of the other changes need to cut the Gooferment down in size and intrusiveness.

At the very least repealing the Seventeenth Amendment would put the State Legislatures back in charge of Senators and eliminate “carpet bagging” individuals from buying seats to the big graft bonanza.

A mandatory retirement age tied to the Social Security “full benefit” retirement age might be a nice touch.

Then kill many if not all of the TLAs (i.e., three letter agencies).   If we do need a small Department of Agriculture to help the States coordinate, then they should reside in the State they are coordinating for but I bet the States could figure out how to do it faster, cheaper, and easier.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Here’s a tax accounting trick that demonstrates an “Unintended Consequence” theft by taxes

Disney Deletes Streaming Movie That Only Released In May

  • Crater was released seven weeks ago, and now it’s gone

By Luke Plunkett
PublishedTuesday 8:49PM

*** begin quote ***

The “deleting shows and movies just to save some tax money”

*** and ***

The plan—and Disney hasn’t confirmed Crater was wiped for this, but why else would it be—works like this: media companies have learned that by removing TV shows and movies from their streaming platforms they can write down the value of their “content assets”, which in turn reduces their overall tax bill. 

*** end quote ***

I was stunned by this.  I thought the objective was to attract eyeballs.  Taking content offline … possibly forever … is counter intuitive.  

When the Gooferment gives a “copyright” what does society get when that “content” is deleted?

Argh!
