We used to joke that TV would be all ads one day as they kept on loading up on ads. The problem is (By my guess) a group of managers sit around and say what can we do to increase our profits and basically more ads was the answer. And in another 2 years they will have the same meeting and I am guessing the same answer. There are lots of areas of improvement they might make to improve their service and offerings and capture more market share but those don't seem like such a sure and easy path as just adding more ads. In a competitive world however of multiple streaming services we could hope that one or some decide to go add free and capture more market with the best ad free experience.

It looks like a storm in a tea cup. $100k? Seems like a rounding error for the national grid of a country like the UK. And they are worried that cheap power might encourage companies that need cheap power, most sane people actually think that encouraging business is a good thing.

Well all oil and gas companies are relatively green with respect to carbon emissions, since it is not the getting of the oil and gas that is producing carbon but the burning of it. From a logical standpoint ff you blame these companies then you would not be able to blame those burning it.

Elon thanks you for your business advice, I am sure you have much more successful businesses than Elon and we all want to know what company you have to buy shares of since you are so smart.

All you are showing is that these scores are in a bad way out of sync. We can see what has happened in Romania.

Europeans admitted that the whole Idea of Minsk agreements was to arm Ukraine, Russia said it was ready to implement Minsk (there might be some doubt about the truth of that.) but it was not them who violated then withdrew from Minsk but Ukraine.

If we want to go over history and accuse Russia of being bad then we should look at our side also. Main point for all of us is do we want to go and fight Russia in Ukraine we I mean the US forces. Think about that, Trump does not want to do that. I do not want to do that. Possibly you do.

I am not familiar with Elon Musks tweets on this matter. I did not say that Zelenskyy ordered or killed the journalist directly but he is dead, he was in prison because why? Well I say it is evidence that Zelenskyy is comparable in some regards to a dictator. With respect to your comments on Putin that is stupid and without evidence that there was anything wrong with that election, even if it is a show then he is making Zelenskyy look bad by that show. Now if you want to talk to corrupt elections lets talk about Romania.

You are confused, Did I say that Zelenskyy is a dictator because he was not elected? He is a dictator (not my words but Trump's) I would guess because he cancelled the opposition parties and controls completely the media, just like a dictator would. It may interest you to know that the Media in Russia is at least somewhat free and you are far safer in Russia being anti government that in Ukraine. Ukraine killed a US born Journalist who was anti the decisions they were making. Well he was thrown in jail and died in jail. Kind of sounds like a dictatorship don't you agree?

You are wrong about almost everything. Firstly I did not say that the invasion is justified. However to pretend they had no reasons is deliberate blindness.

It was not the main opposition leader who died in prison but of a much smaller party. Of course Putin is guilty because who else could it be when the only thing you know about Russia is Putin. With respect to the outcome of the election it does not provide evidence of it being rigged and I am not saying it was or was not rigged, it does not really matter to me but it is an assumption to call Putin a dictator which is without proof (we will call your 87.8% evidence which it isn't really.)

He cancelled the other political parties, controls the media (including jailing and killing Journalists) and has low public support. However I am sure you will say that Putin is not a dictator by any measure then since he was not only elected he had an election during the SMO (War.)

What are you even talking about. Zelenskyy was referring to 2014 not 2023 about Russia breaking the cease fire. This was broken by Ukraine shelling in the Donbass. There was no 2023 cease fire.

Just to point out Russia has had an election during the war. Perhaps you don't think elections in Russia are legit (I would suggest they are better than Romania) but you have no evidence of such. Russia is a a powerful country Ukraine is less powerful it would pay for the less powerful country to come to some sort of agreement with the more powerful. Like Minsk which Ukraine ignored and broke, this was unwise. Also Russia saying that Ukraine would not be part of Nato is not Putin's idea but is a long term Russian position which is shared by the opposition in Russia. In fact the Opposition in Russia are pro the Ukraine war (from the Russia point of view) to stop NATO expansion.)

Haha, bullying. Zelenskyy is trying to present a whole lot of fake facts (like Russia broke the cease fire, when it was Ukraine who broke it etc) He is trying to talk over the top of Trump and Trump is representing the country who he is making requests to. Ukraine has hundreds of billions in US support and now this, he can be thrown out of the US and go groveling to the EU after the disrespect he showed the President and therefore the country. Trump is trying to stop Ukraine from losing, they are losing. A ceasefire would make a big difference but Zelenskyy would then have to face an election if it was the end of marshal law, otherwise why would he not want a ceasefire. He won't get any US guarantees that would be stupid even Biden was not willing to give him that only France and the UK are that dumb so he needs to weight his choices. He is from some far away country that has not be honest with Russia and his whole plan is to get the US to come and fight Russia for him. It will not work.

For sale? Do you mean like Biden who took bribes? What is your real accusation here, how is he for sale? Do you mean he wants a win for the USA in exchange for something, that might actually be someone working for the country. It is really hard to know what you are talking about and probably you don't also but just trying to throw out a random insult.

What is way worse? What are you even talking about?

He was making fun of the question not contradicting himself. Trump does not like Zelenskyy, by some measures he is a dictator. Regardless some people take any opportunity to attack Trump you are well off topic.

As for supporting free speech, do you think the President is asking for back doors or some three letter agency.
