In the eighties, cable companies advertised, literally, "you'll never have to watch commercials again", and for some years, that was the case.

Until they started putting in ads.

Btw, in the seventies, where there was *only* broadcast tv, the FCC regulated it to something like five or seven minutes per HOUR. As opposed to whatever you watch now, where you get about 20min of commercials per hour.

All this content... and exactly how many hundreds of dollars a month are we supposed to pay to even sample it all?

I'm paying for Paramount+. I'd like to see Murderbot (sorry, that's apple). I'd like to at least check out Foundation (someone else). Never watched The Expanse (another stream) Shall I go on?

Great, so they're coming for the low-level jobs. Exactly how are higher-level people supposed to become higher level?

And if that's not enough of a question, if CEOs eliminate all those low level and clerical jobs, exactly what jobs will replace them? And if none do... so, exactly, who of the then-millions of homeless people will be buying the products?
