Get ready for higher rates (they're raising like crazy now) and FEWER employees as people switch over to streaming services that are a fraction $$ of cable

Very true and the Fire Stick situation may get crazier.

The future of the global economy: Local-global or global-local?: https://rbj.net/2020/04/06/the-futur...-global-local/
- An interesting quote within this article from the Rochester Business Journal: "Since the 1970s, the US economy has grown tremendously because global redistribution of manufacturing activities has allowed many other high-value-added industry sectors to thrive. While the share of manufacturing in the US economy has gone from 24% in 1970 down to around 12% in 2018, the total GDP has grown multiple times in technology, health care, finance, and services sectors. Regardless of what we see going on today, I think that in the long run, we will continue to observe a growth in having a local-global economy, where main actors in our local everyday markets will increasingly consist of major global competitors."
