And the midnight news. Next it will be the shipping forecast, the national anthem and the chimes...

I love the shipping forecast and sailing by but never wanted to hear the national anthem, a weird mix of being relaxed then jumping up to turn off the radio.

The platforms produce too much content. Flooding the field as Steve Bannon calls it. When Supply vastly exceeds Demand what else is going to happen? Systems start destablizing. After costs multiply some one will start building dams to control the flood.

This particular platform has a tradition going back literally 60+ years, and is well loved by most thinking people regardless of politics.
