Yes tonight I might be absolutely utterly resolutely tired of the whining without seeing resulting sharp moves in the market tomorrow.
We all know exactly where to hit. We want to keep talking about hitting… but never actually striking.
Cancel it. If you still have a Netflix account after Thanksgiving (understood placating children through the holidays)… then you are either so well prepped you are laughing at the rest of us (good) or just a fair weather fan.
There is no damn good reason Netflix should be in business. Karl D has made this clear many times… we can actually punch and not just post.
I’m so bored of talking about the effects we *could* have if we only tried.
Netflix is *begging* to die if you look at its financials.
So kill it. Make it satisfy an actual market… and you’ll start getting some great documentaries and movies about the past 40 years. For cheap. Though you can still get them for free on youtube, as long as youtube can harvest you for free at least.
Yes… we should slaughter and dress Netflix for Thanksgiving. Even if it leaves us by ourselves watching freezing cold DVDs without 4k special features.
That is in fact what I’m saying. Thank you for focusing my message across multiple threads HSF.
Netflix doesn’t even give us decent special features!!!!
Oy Suzanna… to answer that I have to go back 30-40 years.
I’ll contemplate as condensed a summary as I can over lunch and get back with you.

So true, but an almost impossible eventuality to evade. A camel going through the eye of a needle. …but that said, what is more valuable but so not-so-easily attained.
Another succinct, good post.

I’m not on Netflix, so I can’t cancel. Sorry.
We have no cable, so I can’t cancel that either. Sorry.
We get our TV over-the-air or Internet / telco line. Primitive, but it works.
Correction: my eldest signed up for Google fiber (but paying for it personally). I can’t cancel what I’m not paying for.
Then you are already winning. No reason to say Sorry.
I say Thank You!

Thought about getting netflix a year or so ago but decided it wasn’t worth it. (3 months free on a new TV) We do have a fiberoptic connection and a WiFi network so the grandkids don’t have to go through total withdrawl when they visit. Luckily they seem to enjoy board games and conversations with actual people. My Dexter heifer is on the mend — now I need to put about 100 lbs on her to get her through the winter comfortably. HSF – picked up a featherman plucker a couple of years ago and have never regretted it. Getting too old to mess with that many turkeys without some help.
Please keep confirming how little Netflix, etc is needed.
If we can’t fire a legitimate shot at a company that we know is peddling everything under the sun to anyone smart enough to bypass the “adult controls”… which is everyone under 50… then perhaps we don’t actually have any muscles to flex in this world and Trump’s election really was just a rigged pantomime the globalists put on for us to trick us into blaming nationalism on all the world’s problems.
I actually don’t know if we have the muscle… I think we do… but I also think we like to complain.
A week to kill a weak company like Netflix that is already peddling nonsense most of us are sick of should be trivial.

I thought there was a certain truth to the quote that:
“War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put a man in front of himself in the alternative of life and death.”
In some respects it can be interpreted is that real men stand up and fight for what they believe whereas weaklings submit to slavery.

I gotta agree with razzle; don’t give money to Netflix or Hollywood. Watch everything via bootleg version on 123movies(dot)is. They have flicks that are still running in theatres even.

I’ve been saying that longer than I’ve been reading TBP. My version: We’ve had it far too easy for far too long.
I know too many veterans that refuse to talk about the horrors of war. I can understand why but I think it does future generations a big disservice. Hell, we can’t even have daily pictures of soldiers caskets coming home anymore.
When I moved to Europe the first time I was amazed to see the images they had in the newspapers. Close up pictures of mangled bodies in all sorts of accidents, burned bodies from fires, torture and murder victims and titties…….lots of titties! I still don’t understand why big brother insulates us from life here in ‘Murica.
I would like to do away with central banking for about 500 years and see how we evolve.
Re “I would like to do away with central banking for about 500 years and see how we evolve.” I think you must be the resident expert on central banking, so I have a question. I seem to remember that the original charter for the Federal Reserve had a clause that the US government could, at its own discretion, buy out the Federal Reserve at any time. The price was a repayment of all the capital that was put up by the private bankers who funded the Fed at its start. The price to buy back? $100 million. Chump change these days… Do you know whether I am correct on that clause and that price? I lose track of my information sometimes. 🙂
So start listing the hard things you are doing. Lemme list the hardest for many people even here….
Cancel Netflix, Amazon, etc.

Feh.
FEH I SAY!
Danke Admin.
I had to slaughter and dress a flock of turkeys by myself in the freezing cold.
Would that count?
There is no reason Netflix should survive the week and your turkeys didn’t.
Your turkeys will provide ALL of us more value than the entire history of Netflix by making it so you have at least one more day of posting.
There is no good reason Netflix should still be alive as a company by November 29th. None at all.
There is every reason HSF should still be alive as an ideal by November 29th. Every reason at all.
I am very VERY VERY angry tonight HSF.
You don’t want to get on my good side… I might hold you to the highest of ideals and you might succeed. Consider the consequences.
Yes… we should slaughter and dress Netflix for Thanksgiving. Even if it leaves us by ourselves watching freezing cold DVDs without 4k special features.

STUFF ‘EM UNTIL THEY CAN TURN A PROFIT!!!
Angry… and maybe a bit hungry. 😉
razzle,
so what happened? What was the trigger for your discontent?

Sounds like something a king or command staff at HQ would say (just saying)

Hey IS!
Re your first point:
Re “I would like to do away with central banking for about 500 years and see how we evolve.” I think you must be the resident expert on central banking, so I have a question.
