Wild take. How much do you make on comparison? Geeze.

Yeah, Tim has been very supportive of programs and proposals that support the state. I wish more reps had the care and joy he shows. Still wish he could take a harder line here and there, but he is a coach and doesn't seem like that kind of guy to draw really hard lines.

Found out Colbert gets paid $15 Mil annually rn. Used to watch him. Don't much anymore.

That was some good rounding out of the data, thank you. I see better where you are coming from. Colbert being 15M per year is beyond crazy. I had no expectation of his salary being that high. Unless they were using him to pull more subscribers for other shows there is definitely no reason to have that salary on top of the production costs.

Well yeah, some people cannot handle their opinions being challenged, but you are also guilty of insisting on a hardline that seems unlikely to be the only explanation. If media companies are looking to axe people, it makes perfect sense they would pick someone who is not growing while also deplatforming someone who speaks against their ideals. So Colbert lost almost 1/4 of viewership over 5 years, but how does that compare to Kimmel or Fallon viewership? Without a baseline for comparison, your statistics are just arbitrary. The Times even said that ad revenue is about half for all Late Night shows compared to 2018, but if there are also half as many shows, then the profit/loss should be similar.

Overall, I don't believe anyone would cancel a show that still draws over 1mill viewers for "financial reasons". Redo the budget, sure, but not cut the entire program.

Edit: well written and reasoned though. The comment was a good conversation contribution. It's unfortunate downvotes always represent agree/disagree instead of productive/counterproductive.

People will socially and otherwise murder to keep proper voting systems out of the USA.

It's amazing how important the /s is, lol. I got you.

Their comments always bare and bear great wisdom.

Local results are the only thing I have left to judge by. It has been a loosing battle for a long time, and they "patched" some of the last true communication and outreach available to indiviuals wanting to communicate nationally and worldwide. (The whole Twitter jounalist crackdown a while back comes to mind)

Everyone is getting too tired to put in effort for upholding values, but my stance is opposite that, I'm way more stubborn than people realize. I'm in the right place, and changed some things for the better at work. Might be time to switch my energy to my community. I want to transition from their Sysiphus to their fuckass-boulder.

The last step is finding out how to pit mega funding against eachother in a way that ultimately benefits locals.

Nono, see. They want to lock in repeat visits and gain them as an investor, then use their influence to suckle cash out of the remaining populace.

The only saving grace will be if they code in trying to fill a plane for efficiency. I could see an AI making last minute flights at an actual discount but only if full flight efficiency is prioritized over individual sale margin, so not likely. It's aloft on an wing and a prayer.

About the same time that all 4 other airlines decide to do the same or worse.
