Reply #35: Dare I say "Ditto"! [View All]

I was just back in the states for two months until last Sunday. I must have seen the ads and scrolls once or twice an hour every time I watched the Idiot Box.

I don't see any compelling reason to postpone the change any longer. Those who haven't done what is necessary, if anything, so far, are very unlikely to do anything until their TV goes blank. Then they will go out and get whatever they need within a few hours.

What they might consider doing is to place a "stupid" tax on all of those devices sold after the February change date and publicize the price increase. That might motivate the procrastinators.

I am surprised that the Democrats are making such a big deal about postponing the change. Are the less and less relevant TV networks still controlling the politicians? More likely it is the owners of the networks, like G.E., Disney, and Viacom who are making this timing decisions, or would like to be!
