Do companies rip off other companies all the time? Of course.

Cable can be cheaper...IF you do not rent equipment.

How is this actually better than any other “cordcutter” approach out there? How is this any different than cable TV? There are no cost savings, you’re still paying about the same price as you would for a Cable+Internet bundle. You still have zero choice regarding the content that you are paying for. The CloudDVR…

So with a $40 monthly service and the fact you’ll be paying for a decent broadband connection to stream all this. You’re looking at the same price as cable or satellite service without the DVR. I understand you’re going to be paying for broadband irregardless, but just seems like this really isn’t ‘cord cutting’. At…

NO MORE FUCKING BUNDLES!!

Too expensive for my blood, I don’t have time to watch that much TV to justify the cost.

Pretty sure the only people that would be fucked is the people that need their insurance to cover their healthcare expenses....... i.e. most people

Does the phrase “cut off the nose to spite the face” mean anything to you?

Good luck getting anyone to do that.

You do realize the only thing that will happen with your proposal is the people that don’t cancel will have their premiums skyrocket while the people that do cancel won’t have healthcare coverage?

And you think that will cause them to fold? You think they’ll allow that to happen? Why do you think this change is taking place to begin with? THEY WANT YOU TO CANCEL. They don’t want to take on the most-costly of clients. They only want the rich and healthy. You and your plebeian sick-ass can be ignored to rot and…

Their policy is like Tricare. They don’t use the services you and I do. They are treated FAR better.

There is precedent.

This is a new thing, right? We’ve all seen the celebrations that come after a President actually signs a bill into law, but is this sort of “We’re a third of the way through the process; let’s publicly celebrate” something that didn’t happen terribly often before?

It’s still a massive failure because it barely deviates from the standard cable packing or live TV paradigm. The cost, when you factor in the requisite speeds for quality streaming, are no better than most bundled internet/tv packages from most providers. Add to that the horrible quality of Hulu streams and navigation…

When I was young and optimistic stupid I tried hand grinding telescope mirrors. The process was never-ending and the results were, well, mixed.

It’s sad, because I have fond memories of voice chat in games like Modern Warfare and even the early days of SOCOM, but lately, I’ve been quick to hit the mute or even playing with all-mute in games like PUBG.

I’m opposed to vandalism and violence, but I believe this fits into the same category as “Always punch a Nazi.” 🌟🔨

You know what else this reminds me of?

Lower the heat. I always keep a cup of water by the stove when I’m cooking. Splash a little water in the pan whenever things start going too fast.
