    Worth mentioning that Netflix is trying to enforce a change in their terms and conditions in Chile, Costa Rica and Perú in which they will extra charge for every account being used from different IPs in a way to block password sharing. In Chile its being checked by the customer protección agency as it is considered a unilateral change of contract. So Netflix has been losing a lot of suscribers in Latam.

Think of it this way, if you make 1 million every year you are technically not "growing" but to say you aren't making a profit or that they are in any way suffering is straight up just manipulating the public into thinking one thing (that they are doing bad) when in reality they are doing extremely well.

    The main reason Disney got special district status - it's not the only one - is because the county wasn't equipped to provide the services, and had no clue how to handle theme park construction. Special district status allowed them to set the appropriate building codes, and install the necessary infrastructure quickly. (Disney even had a better telephone company than anywhere else in Florida for years.) The one power they don't have is the power to arrest you - the county maintains a sheriff's station on the property for that. (Like any business, they can detain you until an officer arrives, given the right circumstances.) It's one of the better laws the state legislature ever managed to pass, given what Central Florida was like Before Disney compared to now, and due mostly to Disney.
    As icing on DeSantis's cake, in their rush to punish Disney, they forgot that if the special district goes away, Orange County has to immediately pick up the annual tab (over $100 million) for all the services Disney now funds, and probably absorb a billion dollars in debt because the bond issues originally backed by Disney will almost certainly transfer to them. (Or, rather, the county taxpayers.) Someone did introduce an amendment to the state senate bill to study the side effects, but it was immediately voted down in favor of immediately rescinding the special district. And I thought Florida politics was bad when I lived there 20+ years ago...

Saw the price and definitely will wait another few years to come back. $20 for Netflix is wild. It has enough subscribers to make it half that price.

      Yup. During the elections, Texas went to the Supreme Court to go after Georgia's and Pennsylvania's election results (lost both challenges). Trump went after CA's own car emission standards. During covid (April 13th, 2020) Trump said the Constitution gave him total control over all states. And of all of these cases (and others) no Rep Congressman, Senator or state official said a word.

      What's kind of scary is Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis has been
      extremely successful as one of the few Republican politicians to be able to harness the fanatics votes from former President Donald Trump's fan base. What's scary is DeSantis similarities to Trump, except without any of the distractions or self-destructing tendencies. My personal opinion, for what it is worth, is that he is setting himself up for a presidential campaign, especially if Trump doesn't or isn't able to run for office.

    • @danielgehring7437

      Actually now that you mention it, I don't think DeSantis has actually called himself 'a republican' since his last election. When asked, he generally says things like "I support Trump and freedom!" and other non-answers. He's too scared if he mentions that he's tied to a political party, the few moderates left on his side will start realizing he hasn't supported a single one of their core values.

      I don't know how it is in other states, but I have noticed in Florida NOBODY tells you which party they are affiliated with. When they mention the big " C ", I take that to mean they are Conservative/Republican. And in case someone misses that clue, they throw in how they are Pro-gun and/or Pro-life...which I think is a contradiction.
      Yard signs, billboards, tv ads, they no longer use Republican or Democrat, but Conservative.

    We have the stupidest financial system on the planet. Netflix lost some subscribers and dropped a tiny bit in terms of real value, and suddenly it's stock price plummeted because some old hedge fund managers got jittery, and that's so much considered the "value" of the company that they are changing their financial practices in a way that will probably lose them more subscribers in order to make the line move back up in the short term. The stock price dropped /because/ of a real drop in the value of the company, which means that this real value is measurable, but instead we use how jittery a bunch of old white guys are at any given moment as the basis for our economy, and let it effect our decisions more than the real problems any institution faces. It's like a jacked up bizarro version of using a groundhog to predict the weather except our punxsutawney phil is a bunch of Republican donors and if David Koch sees his shadow and gets startled, Netflix halves in value until lil Davy comes out of his hole.

      It's important stuff like raw lumber, that hedge funds are buying up all supply of and driving prices into the stratosphere. The supply and availability of raw lumber hasnt changed much, the tree kept growing during covid but the price has quadroupled.
      Same goes for oil, russia is still happily selling it's oil and supply has remained pretty much stable but stockmarkets are buying up all supply and driving prices.
      There are _no_ shortages, just a minority of rich people getting richer by hoarding resources and making it seem like supply doesn't meet demand.
