A cable subscription isn't a depreciating asset, though.

I think the fact that you've spent a lot of time in liberal organizations is why you think that way about where it falls on the continuum between progressivism and conservatism.

Interesting that you characterize my statement as "both sides"ing. I would say the thrust of my statement is not "both sides" but "one side". America does not have a progressive party, only conservative and conservative-lite. Given the choice, of course I'll choose the latter, not least because the former is so far off the deep end it may never recover as a party. That does not mean I think that both parties are the same.

Visually:

--------Progressivism ------------------------ Center ------ Liberalism --------------------------- Conservatism.

Liberals and conservatives are more similar than liberals and progressives.

I know. I was devastated when I first watched it, because I was so sure it was going to pass...

Also, if interested, check out this documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Factory. Has a lot of interesting crosstalk between Chinese/American views on work and business.

Oh, 100%. One of the side effects of trying to appeal to families, who are usually more budget-conscious, is that they felt like they had to bring the price down... despite the fact that that was basically impossible. I'm not saying they should have gone luxury, but I'm puzzled as to why they wouldn't target the many nerds who have lots of disposable income and would kill to throw it at this kin dof experience.
