Dispatches from the Front

I'm a time traveler and this email is in response to the discussion you haven't had yet about the city of Chicago imposing a 'cloud tax' on streaming services like Netflix.

I agree with Brian that this is despicable. Chicago's argument is that they're trying to recoup tax revenue lost to brick-and-mortar stores that have been replaced with streaming services, but this argument doesn't fly for two reasons. One, because there are presumably new businesses where the old stores used to be that are paying tax and offering taxable products and services, and two because streaming services don't use local resources like a brick-and-mortar store. But most importantly, even if they have lost tax revenue, that's just too damn bad. They have no right to replace it with a tax on a product that isn't originating and may not be consumed in their city. What if I live in Chicago but watch Netflix exclusively when I travel?

Gentlemen, I was wondering if either of you had checked out the Netflix original "Grace and Frankie". It is a 14 part comedy series with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. My wife and I really enjoyed it, though we are much older than you guys. First couple of episodes seemed a little forced but after that I though it improved substantially and was fun

Hi guys! I had to stop and rewind when you said that SHOWTIME was coming to HULU! SHOWTIME is a CBS network, and CBS has been all but openly HOSTILE to Hulu in the past. Has CBS blinked, or is this just another nail in Hulu's financial coffin?
