Re: Netflix's next cancellation could be the service's basic subscription tier

badger51 — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 15:36:19 -0000

For several years, I spend extra for a 2 viewer plan so that one of my children could share the account..Now that capability has been taken away....I was planning to switch to basic since I only will need a one viewer plan....now that option has been removed.

Looks like cancellation is in my future !

Re: Expanding the Vote to Non-Citizens

P.S. I don't have the facts in front of me, but I believe a number of countries do allow all legal residents to vote in local elections.

At a minimum, legal residents should be able to vote in local and state elections. All residents pay, directly or indirectly, property taxes, sales tax and state income taxes where applicable. Even if you wish to limit federal election voting rights to citizens, extending democracy at the local election would be be a good first step

Recall reading in "Bowling Alone" years ago that air conditioning, along with television, was a key factor in the decline of community activity and social engagement. The people that sweat together, fight together !

Re: Why Don’t Democrats Celebrate FDR More?

badger51 — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 21:46:52 -0000

Many who grew up in the post WWII years don't appreciate the dramatic change in the role of the Federal government. Conservatives haven't forgotten and want to go back to the days of a toothless Fed government with no role to play in the economy, no rights for workers or minorities, let alone any Federal protection of the environment. The New Deal was a fundamental change in the nature of the Federal Government.

Re: Lawsuit Would Throw Out Votes In Three Wisconsin Counties That Supported Joe Biden

badger51 — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 15:11:42 -0000

The fact that the lawsuit specifies only counties with large number of Democratic votes tells the story. If, indeed, there were problems with mail in ballots, wouldn't those problems manifest themselves statewide?

Re: Newt Gingrich: US Should Learn From Italy

badger51 — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 13:00:50 -0000

Was this from "The Onion" ? The man who led a decades long push to shrink and deprive government of resources? Now he wants a robust response? Shameful...may be the old saw about liberals becoming conservatives as they age should be replaced with conservatives come to love government as they age and need government services
