A million and one other things that are more worthwhile to me than watching stupid crap on a screen.  

We have Netflix through T-mobile, that the daughter watches some anime on, and Prime video, whether I want it or not, since I want my crap delivered fast.

I’ve rented on iTunes once it twice when we had a family activity to watch a movie that we didn’t have a DVD for or wasn’t free on Netflix or prime at the moment.  Heck of a lot cheaper than a subscription that will tempt me to waste time. 

YMMV but I would suggest trying to ween yourself off heavy media consumption.   You’d be amazed at all the stuff you can get done.  

 Their claim was that while cheaper labor exists in the third world, the productivity of that labor was commensurate with the cost.  A worker in the US that is paid $50/hour (and given commensurate manufacturing tech) can produce as much in one hour as a worker paid $5/hour can in 10 hours.  They gave lots of examples and reasons.  The basic premise is that the higher paying economies support higher levels of education and technological advances and these make the workers more productive.  One thing they did in their comparisons , though, was factor out the political costs imposed — regulation, taxes, etc.   they were comparing the raw costs of productivity around the world before political costs like regulations and taxes were added. 

She likes the Max as she can use a larger font and still see a reasonable amount on screen. Older eyes…
