Can you blame them. Free stuff is hard to resist.

....

And when you rob Peter to pay Paul, you’ll always have Paul’s support.


The 1% are robbing this country of everything.

They are usually providing a service that people eagerly flock to.


And you probably believe that ****, too.

You don't think people want to buy things from Amazon (Bezos), run
Windows PCs (Gates) , yack on Facebook (Zuckerberg) and look **** up
on Google (Page/Brin)? Those are 5 of the 6 richest guys in the US.
Buffett (#3) is just smart enough to get his money out in front of
what people want and cash in on it.


Amazon sells a huge variety of stuff, typically at lower prices than can
be easily found elsewhere, and delivers to your door. Microsoft sells
software for which there are many competing products. Zuckerberg gives
his flagship product away and hopefully properly address FB's security
and privacy issues. There are many competitors for google, and the apps
are given away. That advertisers pay to be on most of these products is
the price one pays for them, the same way one pays for commercial TV and
radio.

Free TV ends up costing the consumer more each year
than pay TV, just in the price they pay for everything advertised on
that TV.



No one forces watchers of commercial TV to buy anything.


But those watchers of commercial TV buy products. And those products pass
along the costs of the company to operate. So who pays the $million bucks
for s Super Bowl advert? Who paid for your salary when you worked for an
Ad agency?


Advertising creates and sustains demand for products and services. How
enlightening of you to admit that. The owners of the agencies I worked
for paid my salary.
