People who have paramount+ are great beneficiaries assuming there’s no premium up charge.

I worked at a superstore about 20 years ago and it had 30 checkout lanes and 15-16 of them were staffed with humans at all time. Even late night there were 4-5 open. The automated registers and completely unstaffed huge swath of checkout lanes is a very recent phenomenon.

Back in the sixties you had to bathe in asbestos dust before you could do any kind of electrical work. It’s why the innovation was so high.

All cable and premium cable networks are collapsing into the abyss of streaming, so the sooner they get hitched to a stream carrier the more likely they are to survive in perpetuity with their catalog and new content.
