How on earth did you conjure up the idea that companies have to hold on to this stuff?

"blah blah I'm trolling you blah blah"

What is wrong with you? Where am I letting anyone off for coups?

All I'm saying is getting rid of American interference in Latin America alone won't solve their third world problems. Their problems are WAY more complex than that. As I already said as well that doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing better by the region but it does mean it's not some kind of magic solution to third world poverty.

Get a fucking grip.

I have a substantial physical collection that's all digitized because I don't want to rummage around in a huge physical collection of movies just to browse my selection to find something to watch. There is also movie piracy which has gotten ridiculously easy to do and is increasing in popularity due to all the anti consumer stuff streaming platforms have been hoisting on us. I know I don't find paying more for less and with ads to be a terribly good deal relative to how things were with streaming a few years ago.

You characterize that as encouraging while I see it as indicative of how problematic this administration is. They're constantly testing the limits on constitutionality and what the public will accept and only rescind their constantly problematic policy when it meets certain thresholds for outrage. Notice Trump trying recently to dial down stuff with ICE. What they're doing is wearing everyone out and pushing current outrages out of site with new ones.

Huh, I wasn't aware the Nordic countries had their own arrangement for something like this. I knew Iceland wasn't an EU member so figured that was that. Thanks for the info.

Where are they going to get the money to replace all of their housing in a decade? Remember, their tax base is only 400,000 people strong too.

No one is going to want to vacation there either with weather like that.

The problem is that most of those 400,000 people don't have citizenship in any other country. The problem isn't a raw numbers people moving problem, it's a "where to move the people to" problem. Never mind all the hardship relocation will create.

He's tried pursuing too much of the absurd stuff he talks about for anyone in Iceland or Greenland to be assured by your post.

Large scale storage is getting so cheap keeping ones movies or any other data on hard drives is very affordable and makes whatever is being stored much more immediately on hand then when it is on a disk. I got a 26tb HDD for about $10 a terabyte a few months ago, that's a lot of space for movies or anything else.

ugh, sorry.

Maybe try reading carefully before posting as you don't seem to be addressing what I'm saying at all.

That is part of another root cause. There are two ends to this problem, Latin American poverty and instability and American employers. On one side you have people who need jobs and on the other you have people offering them. Eliminate one of the problems and no one has a reason to come here anymore so the problem mostly solves itself. Unfortunately the US not screwing over Latin America alone won't solve their third world problems where as addressing the problem on the American employer end seems quite approachable.

That doesn't mean we can't do better in helping Latin America improve its economic position but there's no way we're going to solve the mountains of problems those countries have for them.
