  3. Have a nice day.

  on Even Officials In The Intelligence Community Are Recognizing The Dangers Of Over-Classification
  1. I agree with That One Guy's comments.
  2. The government has been over-classifying for more than 50 years. 90% is to hide info from the USA public, not the GRU.

  on Cable TV Customers Are Rightfully Pissed They're Still Paying For Cancelled Sports Programming

  Why more people don't cut the cord is beyond me.
  Lower cost.
  More to watch (if you are a house porn, food porn junkie).

  on Cable Execs Now Falsely Claiming Cord Cutting Is Slowing Down

  "that’s where you get sports, that’s where you get news,"

  1. Many (most?) people don't care about getting news via TV. They just don't care about news in general.
  2. Some (I have no idea how many) people don't care about sports. Even when the Denver Broncos are in the Super Bowl, we don't watch at our house. We go next to our neighbors for a party.
