yes local/generic is the answer. it takes advertising out of the equation.

without advertising, the national name brands and LEFTIST media implode.

shifting to local/generic does not hurt the economy, it shifts the power to the middle class.

yes and the weakest links in the chain are big business and big media.

Govt can force you to pay taxes.
Unions can force you to join and pay dues.

Big biz and Big media cannot force you to buy or watch.

One word : YES !
Now major league baseball wants to know your political party affiliation; don't comply !
You have no idea where this information is going, nor, do you have any control over the information anymore.
It is all electronic surveillance regardless of the justification.

They are in the process of going full I.G. Farben. Won't take long now.

Venus:
What are you talking about?

Johnny:
They’re coming to get me, man!

Venus:
That’s paranoia, man!

Johnny:
Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we’re talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I’m probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!

Venus:
Johnny!

Johnny:
Don’t use my name!!

If Facebook or Twitter delete your posts or restrict your account, that network is closed to you, and each is a network that increasingly dominates the exchange of ideas.

I only use Facebook to post conservative comments. Been doing that for a couple of years.

This a.m. I got this :-):

Intending to advise what they and their horse could do, I clicked "request a review" and got this Big Brother prompt:
