There are a lot of things killing the cable TV business. This ain’t one of them.

There was a time in America when there was no TV. My dad got the first one on the block, and neighbors would come over to watch it. People got along just fine without TV, or the few channels offered.

Now there are thousands of ways to watch video entertainment. Can't just blame "stealing" or sharing. Cable TV is marketing a product that's overpriced and not as valued so much anymore. Too many other options. Just got back from a hike overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and walking along the beach; more interesting watching nature. My granddaughter played with shells and starfish among the wet rocks on the beach. Better than TV.

Probably most of the Cable execs are climate change believers who encourage folks to ride bikes and buy electric cars.

And use the roads for free that those of us who buy gasoline pay for.

Cry me a river when those who steal the roads also supposedly steal their cable profits.

Conan! What is best in life?

Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. And watch your granddaughter playing with shells and starfish among the wet rocks on the beach...

Conan FINALLY gets it right. :)
