Comment Good, but not for the reasons I had hoped for. (Score -1, Flamebait) 323
Upon reading the headline, I was hoping it was because people were getting off their couches and becoming more active. Alas, that is not the case; Netflix is expanding their sedentary lifestyle to the UK and Ireland.
Folks, it's a measly $8/month for unlimited TV and movies. How enticing is that? You know what's even cheaper? GETTING OFF YOUR BUTTS AND MOVING! Instead of asking the family "What do you want to watch tonight?" ask "Where should we walk to tonight?"
Netflix should be taxed like tobacco and liquor: it's a destructive, disease causing force causing people to fall to pieces. Have a brutally painful subluxation from a 10 hour movie marathon? Sure, that can be fixed before it causes a life-threatening illness. It'll cost you more than the $8 you spend on Netflix. Minimum of $30/visit for probably 2-4 visits a week for at least a couple of weeks.
It's like an alcoholic or smoker having to pay for a liver or lung transplant. Just Say No to all the modern "entertainment delivery systems" that are designed to make you complacent, fat, and unhealthy. The system DOES NOT want you healthy! It wants you as a consumer of medical poisons until death. It wouldn't be suprising to discover that the BigPharma players are investors in things like liquor, tobacco and Netflix: those things deliver life-long pill-popping & insulin-shooting customers by the millions. The proper alternatives of eating well, being active, and receiving targetted chiropractic adjustments don't make them their billions in pain-delivered profits.
