Don’t know which will be the trigger, the enormous numbers of merchandise, medical, health insurance ads on tv or the political blather that will fill the airwaves or both, but I’ve been putting in less viewing time lately and expect to reduce it further in the new year. Also notice more ads on firestick and roku, both of which promised a ‘richer viewing experience.’ It is for advertising agencies I guess, just not me.
This is why I record everything. I fast forward through the ads. I call it “trash compacting.”
I cannot recall if I ever bought anything based on an ad. Ads do not make me want to go out and buy something. As for stuff I do want to buy, I’ll do my own research.

Self immolation is a hard way to go. Seems like to me.

What???
You don’t like Continuous Campaigning?
You don’t like hearing what you should be absolutely outraged about?

Not to worry. Once Hunter Biden is properly investigated, things will be fine.

Just make sure to send all your vital information, including any and all Voter ID cards, to the RNC. Their going to need that in 2024!

We NEED time and spending limits on campaigning.
