    I wonder if this book/movie was, at least in part, the inspiration for Coma. Now that was a good thriller!

    What would China prefer?

    That it be a state.

    They've already paid for this President.

    @george-k

    I was braking it down in two categories

    Governors by party

    State control of legislatures by party

    So, in some case, there is a Democrat governor but the Republics control the legislature

    You missed another one. 2017 was coming off of a Obama presidency. Midterms and end of Presidential terms usually cause a power shift.

    Mr. Trump's departure should have fixed that.

    Holy cow. What next? Locusts?

    Wishing her a break from all this agony.

    Hope your hand is better, too, George!

    Shhhh!

    Don't speak things into existence!😵😵😱😱😲😲

    Although a locust invasion during Biden's first 30 days would be pretty neat.

    For us Netflix is annoying. It can take a long time to load and sometimes will need to be rebooted.

  • Well that didn't take long.

    I don’t know. It’s a broad mandate the commission has and he has republicans on it too. Not to mention you don’t get 51 votes in the senate to expand the court. Seems like he is going through the motions to placate some faction or another.

    Saw a video on YouTube, where a guy was making pet crates out of 2x4's, 2x6's and rebar. The crates did double duty as end tables for smaller animals and tv tables for larger animals.

    Might work for grandchildren. Would make a fun project.

    Monetization model is tough. Hard to get people to leave the house to go to the movies.

    Big movies win... big movies are risky... risky = generic, repetitive IP.

    But I hear what you're saying. Attack the cost side... cheap movies with good writing can be monetized differently.

    I agree.

    The target customers are primarily the streaming services, with "cable" channels being the secondary market.
