@MLB This example of the values encourageb by Let the Kids Play. The real kids not the one's paid millions to hit .235 are scandalised by this behaviour. Let the Kids Play is the NFL approach to promoting WWF-like behavior. MLB might take note that NFL ratings are crashing.

The press isn'tl evil because it filters, produces and presents Trumpian news-- it has been an evil because of its "management" of the news that fits about Clintons, Obama, Romney, McCain, Kerry, Bush43. It's not journalism; it's manipulation

Who knows more about Smoot- Hawley: Trump or Bueller?

HardshipAid of Simi Valley, CA is certainly a malicious, black-hat marketer and perhaps a hacker operating under a illegally formatted ISP ID- @up0.net. Daily phishing attempts. Avoid this malicious entity if possible.

Plumpest Posteriors on Public Payroll? I vote for Postal Passive-aggressives too languid to retrieve undeliverable mail from the box where they left it yesterday,the day before and the days before that.Shut down the USPS and save the $1.2B taxpayer loss.

Why is NFlix more user-friendly than Hulu? Hulu: More intrusive ads; even fewer quality original productions; horrible navigation; less accepting of cable-cutting web-mirroring subscribers.

You'll excuse me, you corporate barnacles, but I no longer patronise cable companies, Starbucks, Amazon or FaceBook. How exactly do you contribute to the betterment of my life?

I would have liked to hear what former Secty Albright has to say about Syria today, but she has squandered her credibility with a year of indiscriminate criticism about The Ukraine, Koreas, Venezuela, NATO, the Saudis,....

Predictably NPR's focus on the FB problem is the effect on the trumpf campaign. Impartial my petuti! The problem with FB is its business plan. They are selling your data to EVERY advertiser. Why do you get targeted ads? Why does Zuck make $billions?

Amazon appears to be less interested in excellent online purchasing than it once was. Competitors like BJ's and Costco are inept at the online business. BJ's tech support or online purchases for example is hapless. Amazon remains a monopoly.

Is anyone aware of a class action suit, civil or criminal action against HardshipAid of Simi Valley?

[Uncle Noodle @Adjunctular]

Amazon may be monopolistic/predator and should be broken up, but trumpf talks usual misdirection when he claims overuse of the post office. USPS insolvency is based on mostly fixed costs esp. pensions. You would think potus would be expert re bankruptcy.

[Uncle Noodle @Adjunctular]

@Lionel_Nashe Right. Although the thing that separates FB for me is the 15 years of lipservice to security fixes and incredulous claims of innocence.

HULU has $ trouble despite millions cutting the cable cord. Grief is a self-inflicted wound. HULU updates deny video to existing user platforms. HULU's solution is new user-purchased hardware/firmware!! Limited content + technical fascism= Bye-bye NoLU.

Re. the Russian World Cup: I decided I will watch but will boycott any company that advertises for 60 days after the games begin. I have not yet decided if that is an ethical cop-out.

[Uncle Noodle @Adjunctular]

Facebook:forget the apology. Just allow me to resign and reclaim data you have on me, Markie. Unctuous or innocent? I think the answer is clear, as clear as the profits you rake in by sharing data with advertisers. Hackers aren't the real problem; you are.

@theladythinks @GracieG Hi, Ms. Alicia PhD! How have you been? Still teaching in GSO?

[Uncle Noodle @Adjunctular]

@ABC Tiger mom be damned.

What company would I stop doing business with if a competitor offered a 3% discount? Not Flow Mini Cooper after recent trade-in. I can only claim loyalty to American Express. AMEX demonstrates at least monthly that they value my business.
