I understand your angle, I respect you as a poster and as a cool dude.

 

The truth is, governments aren't playing fair, big business would slash our throats if it meant a green arrow next to their stock. Those 2 feed off each other and take, and take and take and take... and now are boo-hooing we have nothing left to take.

 

Honestly it's noble of you to try and stay within the rules, but if the little man is playing by rules the big one doesn't have, eventually they'll pop you like a balloon.

 

Maybe not in your lifetime, or the next, but: inheritances are no longer feasible with inflation. The money you saved up to pass down, maybe even in hopes it could be passed down multiple generations.... it's already taken from you. It's worth fractions of what you earned.

 

And its not just money taken. Your time at work (away from family), was stolen as they keep printing. Your generations life savings- is worthless. You traded your literal life, and your time with your family, and recreation AKA living a human life... and that money is no longer going to reach a 2nd generation. Its a theft of life and legacy.

 

The tooth paste bottle is empty. Its been gone, but they're getting every last drop out of it, even if it's 5 streaming services at $10/pop. 

 

Lord help me I'm sorry, I got too fired up, but I believe it's all true. The rich can enjoy their dirty plaque filled mouths, because they took it all

 

FALL OF ROME is already gaining speed hard

I mean inheritance is a terrible thing for the world as it just ensures that rich people create an ever richer and more powerful ruling class that can never be uprooted. I don't see it going away any time soon for the folks that have created multi-generational wealth. The couple hundred K, modest home or family business that you're trying to pass down to your kids being taxed into oblivion isn't a war on inheritance, it's a war on class.

Their business model while successful definitely isn’t user friendly. 
Gimme 17 bills games, take my 3-400 and call it a day. Maybe toss in red zone as a friendly gesture. I would not be illegally streaming games any longer. 

It's a good point.  It's not just the money.  It's become a hassle to keep up with all the streaming services and outlets to watch sports.  20 years ago I got DirectTV and made the decision to pay for MLB, NFL packages and all the regional sports channels.  As a big sports it was worth it to me.  Now you have to pay for multiple media companies. 

 

Off the NFL, but now alot of MLB games aren't availalble with their own MLB package b/c of Apple TV etc.   Even when you pay you cant see all the games.  One wierd example is that I pay for a regional sports package including the YES network and I still pay for MLB season package.  But YES or MLB blacks out replays of Yankee games outside of New York.  You can watch the game live, but you can't watch the replay even after paying for the services.  Stupid crap like that, pushes people to go onto the pirated streaming sites.

The price of having every NFL game available to me on television for the whole season is about as equivalent, and probably cheaper, than taking my wife to a Bills game.

 

People should have to pay to watch. If you can’t afford it too bad. There are things I’d like to do in life that I can’t afford.

I hate that I agree with this but perspective is needed for sure, there’s plenty of entertainment that people spend large amounts of money on that I would never dream of doing.

 

 The fact I can get every NFL game in library format commercial free at my fingertips for 30 bucks a month ? For me it’s peanuts but I do understand others wish to spend their entertainment dollars differently.

Workers of the world unite! We have nothing to lose but our inheritance to our spoiled suburban children living in Amherst!

You just explained why poor people engage in black market capitalism and/or steal to survive.

 

Interesting how shifting the context a tiny bit brings to light brute facts about poverty and crime.

Again, there are things in life I can’t afford. That doesn’t give me the right to go out and steal those things.

 

 

   There are things that certain SCOTUS justices couldn’t afford but that didn’t stop them…. Over and over and over!

   You know, the arbiters of all that is lawful. And, we wouldn’t know if the pesky media didn’t dig it out and put it into the bright sunlight.

    And said justice is rationalizing it🤷‍♂️

So, while it wasn’t “ stealing” I would argue that the lack of moral compass exhibited perfectly illustrates what billionaires and the power they wield and what they can buy ( influence at the highest level) and how filthy and greedy it ALWAYS is.

Highest bidders get each tv package. You think the NFL gives a damn how many channels you pay for?  Most people have ESPN already, and I would bet a large number also have amazon prime. What is the 3rd subscription service?

And now that Buffalo is in the top portion of the league they’re getting a bunch of prime time games which of course are not on the ticket lol 


I live for the prime time games, because the illegal streams suckkkkkkk. (Also, there's nothing worse than trying to find a working stream and have to close out of 150 chaturbate popups will my family is in town).
