More From George S. Patton

The cord-cutting generation hates cable tv 'cause they think they're corporations and they rip people off and they make you buy a bunch of channels you never watch in order to get the channels that you do watch. they've always said, "we want to be a la cart. we want to be able to cord-cut. we want to be able to watch what we want." so it's now evolving where if they only want to watch hbo they can but they have to pay for it. if they only want to watch cinemax, they can, but have to pay for it.

It's been my habit of mind, over these years, to understand that every situation in which human beings are involved can be turned on its head. everything someone assures me to be true might not be. every pillar of belief the world rests on may or may not be about to explode. most things don't stay the way they are very long. knowing this, however, has not made me cynical. cynical means believing that good isn't possible; and i know for a fact that good is. i simply take nothing for granted and try to be ready for the change that's soon to come.
