i use utorrent and it picks up my favorite shows automatically from rss feeds with filters i set. i usually have my favorite shows a couple hours after they broadcast. for example, i missed lost, but i had it later the same night, and i didnt have to find it. no searching, no hassles. really? thats news to me, i though directv looked good and you can get hd with it. sure, like i said, i concede that utilities and telecommunications are unique and i dont understand them.
it may be a function of the particular show but lost is like #1 searched show for whatever reason. there was a desperate housewives a few months back that we missed and it took 4 days for it to even show up on any of the trackers. you can, but local channels from network affiliates are rabbit ears quality. of course "cable" (to use that term) channels such as the nfl network, hbo, espn are just fine.
ok, well i am glad we taxpayers are helping provide grain to tyson's chickens, sounds to me like they need our help in order to help their chances at the monopoly. money well spent.
The subsidy goes to the farmer. The farmer sells grain to a corporation. The corporation sells grain to Tyson for their chickens. The lower grain price brought about by the subsidy is really irrelevant to Tyson, becuase they'll pass that cost on to us, the consumer. So, our tax dollars actually do benefit us in the end, because they keep the end product price lower for the consumer. Now whether or not we realize the full benefit of what we pay in is debatable. But, as I have said before, clean up the subsidies, use them the right way, and we will no doubt be better off in the end due to a plentiful supply of commodities.
they will? i thoug tyson wants to take over all the chicken so they can raise prices? now they want to pass along their savings instead of maximixing profits? and of course we arent really saving anything if we were the ones who paid for the subsidies in the first place. i think we have both proven that one.
i am sorry, i thought earlier you were saying that tyson is the sort of company that if not regulated would buy up all the competition and raise prices. who knows, maybe if we taxpayers didnt spend billion and billions on subsidies we could even more easily afford to buy food! and if we could choose to purchase it from other countries with cheap labor, i would imagine we could afford food even easier. i dunno about you, but it seems like if people have more money and more options, that would make things a little easier. i know freedom may seem like a wild concept, but people are talking about it like it is the coolest. other countries have government-controlled health care. i am sure they make the same arguments you make, how they cant risk health care with a free market, because we die without it. and they probably get enough health care to get by, and they survive. meanwhile the more free system we have is far superior.
