    Still a better deal than cable.
    At this point Netflix only has to worry about amazon. If that improves selection anymore, they just added 2000 more titles, I will keep netflix only for DVDs and cancel their streaming. I have Prime anyway so amazon streaming is free to me, for now anyway.

    He could do many things.

    This is way too small for backup tapes. LTO 5 is 1.5TB raw. If they made them bigger people would buy them.

    Before then it was owned by the privately wealthy and robber barons. This country was never "of the people, by the people and for the people". The USA is not unique in that either.

    By doing nothing I do not mean preventing laws from passing or making sure the government does nothing. I mean just lets the rest of his party do whatever they want.

    They made overnight loans on which the Fed profited. Meaning they reduced the amount the American people owe.

    Maybe the economy has more to do with that then piracy. Also legal methods of watching movies as well. I don't buy movies now that I have netflix unless I really love them. In the past I did not buy many movies, certainly less than I spend on netflix. This means while I might be spending less on DVDs I am spending more on entertainment.

    The rental agreement cannot override the law. My claim is the law in my state. The landlord cannot enter without prior notice unless there a fire or something of that nature.

    Everyone should learn the laws for their state before entering into any rental agreement.

    If you redefine middle class sure that works. We have already done that quite often though. In reality middle class means as rich as aristocracy without the privilege, we generally use it to mean people making a liveable but not huge income.

    If you household income is more than a standard deviation larger or smaller than the median income I would say you are no longer middle class by the modern US definition.

    The police exist to protect people as well. I guess without factories, then there would be no rape, assault, theft or murder.
    I never made such a claim, nice straw man.

    Then they do not have a single bank account (see FDIC), which is highly unlikely.
    A lot of them do not. Why do you think those check cashing places exist?

    I guess they're not looking for work. Not going to work. Not going to the grocery store. Not having food/groceries delivered. Not going to school.
    Other than going to work none of those are the use of roads to make money. Any such use of roads for work is not going to be damaging them the way the a truck will. Road damange does not scale at a fixed rate. Any food or goods they buy are something some else makes money on.

    That's all the legal system is for? I suppose they can't sue corporations. No one has ever sued, say McDonald's, for spilling coffee on themselves.
    You could, but that is again not its most common use.

    Every single claim you make is a strawman or just dumb. Enjoy your lack of a functional state while the super rich pay very little. Taxes are not theft.
