Netflix has recently split into two separate companies for DVD and streaming movies online. This doesn't really affect me because I do not have a Netflix account, but I can see where Dr. Kachurick is coming from when he says it's not as convenient to access as before. This means that account holders have to go to two different sites and have two different billing statements through the same company! I would definitely be more annoyed!! I think they've decided to do this so they can drop the DVDs and save on postage and warehouses. I believe, in the long-run, they are going to drop DVD services and stick to their main revenue from streaming. We should bring back Blockbuster!!
I'm torn with our next topic of oil drilling in Alaska. I feel terrible that oil companies are barging in on people's lives, but at the same time we need these resources! If they know there are 15 billion gallons of oil under this little town, it makes sense to buy them off and, like Ryan said, have them move their village 20 miles over. But at the same time, it's the way they've been living for generations! I live in a small town and I get mad when I see a new house being built, let alone thousands of oil drillers stomping in with their big boots and machines. But like I said, I'm so torn!!
