We do get streaming Netflix and the occasional Amazon movie, but it’s very inexpensive and we can pick and choose.
Last night I showed my grandson the movie Romancing the Stone. I had to fast forward about 30 seconds of it, but the rest of it was good clean fun: car chases, shootouts, a car chase in a river, a treasure map, a treasure, a car going over a waterfall, Danny DeVito getting pummeled by a matronly woman, alligators, snakes, mudslides, a bus crash, etc.
That works a hell of a lot better than a blind donation to the left via cable. And every dollar they don’t get helps. Helps parents ‘parent’ too as you pointed out.
If people would just do something like that, they could, if not go whole hog, at least contribute to the fight. Meaningfully.
