I'll be the one to ask the question - do Apple's politics play a role in this?

I'm not referring to the shows in general but I feel like there are a large amount of users, like me, that are conservative and don't give TV+ a chance because they figure there won't be any shows for them? 

I think a Band of Brothers(or The Pacific) type show following a certain unit in WW2, a Detective type show like Bosch on Prime, an Indiana Jones type hero show, etc. would bring in me and fellow rednecks like me even though we might not agree with Apple on politics.

- I will once again reiterate that if things continue to go in the wrong direction for TV+, Apple should make TV+ free and have 2-3 minutes of advertising per show.  People don't have to watch but I think most would and advertising rates could be huge.  A much bigger moneymaker than a subscription service IMO.

If you are a long term holder the effects of the buyback will be tremendous.  Short term holders won't see as much growth.

Apple is currently able to retire 300-400 million shares per year.  Maybe more.  If you can't look 5-10 years down the road and see that as a positive then.........I don't know what to tell you.

China is a huge problem. Look at what they are doing to their own air and water. 

China just past USA as the most polluting country in the world. yes I agree.
but they have 4 times more population of USA so each Chinese person pollute 4 times less that an American.
AND
they produce so much goods for USA and other country,  that this pollution should be calculated on the buying/using country total pollution produce and not on China.  

I have a friend who has been working in China for 12 years as an engineer. They are taking pollution and climate change very seriously and they will soon lead the world in that regard... contrary to countries who denies the existence of a problem and pushing/helping polluting coal, fuel etc. 

The problem with China is the lack of respect for other country invention and having a government who won't let newspaper, and journalist write negative article about the government...

Not sure where you get your numbers but the US is #88 on the 2019 pollution index.  It is based on per capita.  China was #13.  

He was talking the country as a whole and acknowledged it was different on a per capita basis.

He said that China just passed the USA and that is not accurate...........at all.

If you believe the 12 year nonsense then you have to be willing to use an EMP on China and India.  Otherwise the world is ending.

Does ESPN+ include all the ESPN channels?  If so then I will subscribe for the football season and maybe keep it. 

Don't think so.  As far as I know it is everything that isn't shown on their main channels.  A few college football and basketball games weekly along with Olympic sports.  Not worth it IMO.
