(10,415 posts)1. I hear ya, it is slowly moving in that direction. As more things move
from OTA to streaming and all the streaming channels raise prices. America seems to be based on just one thing....money.
As far a taxpayer funding the idiot - it is sad. Just last month, like most years since I retired, I had to do a "direct pay" to the IRS to make sure I don't get a penalty for underpayment. It really sucks these days because to be honest I do not like the way my tax dollars are being spent at all. It seems we are funding a government that is totally corrupt at it's core. They don't care about anything but enriching themselves and use their vast power to ensure it stays that way - underfund education, suppress voting, spew hate and bigotry, etc.
Anyway - just to let you know...you are not alone with your frustration.
