Alright, listen up, y’all. I heard some folks jabberin’ about Netflix and that Harris woman, somethin’ ’bout money changin’ hands. Now, I ain’t no fancy city slicker, but I know a thing or two about hearin’ things and figurin’ ’em out.
So, they sayin’ Netflix, you know, that place where you watch all them shows and movies, they givin’ money to this Harris lady’s campaign. Campaign? That’s like when them politicians go around beggin’ for votes and money, right? Anyways, people gettin’ all riled up about it, sayin’ they gonna cancel their subscriptions and whatnot.
But hold on a sec. From what I hear, it ain’t exactly Netflix itself givin’ the money. It’s this fella, Reed Hastings, the big cheese over at Netflix, or he used to be. He’s the one, they say, who might’ve tossed some money Harris’ way. Not the whole dang company. See the difference? It’s like sayin’ the whole farm gave money, when it was just the farmer diggin’ into his own pockets.
Now, I don’t know this Harris woman from a hole in the ground, and I sure don’t know Mr. Hastings neither. But it seems to me folks are gettin’ their chickens crossed. They hear one thing, then they go off tellin’ another, and pretty soon it’s a whole different story. Like that telephone game my grandkids play. By the time it gets to the last person, it ain’t nothin’ like what the first person said.
- First off, they say Netflix donated. Nope, sounds like it was just one fella from Netflix.
- Then they say it was a big donation, but how big? Nobody’s sayin’ for sure. Maybe it was just a few pennies he found in his couch cushions. Who knows?
- And this “presidential campaign” they talkin’ ’bout? She ain’t president yet, is she? So, maybe it was for somethin’ else. Maybe he just bought a plate at one of them fancy dinners they have.
This whole thing reminds me of that time Old Man Johnson down the road swore he saw a UFO. Turned out it was just the neighbor’s new tractor with its headlights on. People like to make a big fuss outta nothin’, that’s for sure.
So, before you go cancellin’ your Netflix and missin’ out on all them stories, just take a breath and think it through. Don’t believe everything you hear, specially on that there internet. Half the time, it’s just a bunch of hooey. And remember, it ain’t always what it seems. Someone just said Reed Hastings *might* have donated, not that Netflix as a whole did.
And even if this Hastings fella did give some money, well, that’s his business, ain’t it? Last I checked, this is still America, and folks can spend their money how they please. Long as they ain’t hurtin’ nobody, I say let ’em be. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got a pot of beans on the stove that needs tendin’. And that’s a whole lot more important than some politician’s money problems.
In short, what I’m hearin’ is Reed Hastings might of gave some of his own money. Netflix, the company, didn’t give anything. Don’t let folks fool you, and go spreadin’ rumors. That’s how trouble starts. Just take it all with a grain of salt, like I do, and you’ll be just fine.
And for goodness sake, don’t be cancelin’ your shows over somethin’ you ain’t even sure about. That ‘Yellowstone’ is finally gettin’ good again, and I don’t want to miss it.
So there you have it. That’s my two cents on this whole Netflix and Harris thing. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but I got good common sense, and that’s worth more than all them fancy degrees in my book.
