Alright, let’s talk about this Netflix and Harris thing, you know? I heard some folks sayin’ Netflix gave a whole bunch of money to that Harris woman, the one on TV all the time. Millions, they say! Like, enough money to buy a whole lotta cows, I reckon.
Now, some other people, they’re sayin’ it ain’t true. Or maybe it’s true, but not as true as they first said. It’s like that game of telephone we used to play as kids, you know? By the time it gets to the end, the story’s all twisted around.
So, what’s the real deal? Well, from what I hear, this fella, Reed Hastings, he’s a big shot at Netflix. Real big. He’s got money comin’ out his ears, I bet. And yeah, he gave some money to help Harris with her campaign. But it wasn’t Netflix the company, see? It was just him, Reed, doin’ his own thing. It’s like the difference between me givin’ away my chickens and the whole farm givin’ away chickens, you get it?
And get this, some folks were sayin’ Netflix’s stock, you know, the price of their company, it went down. Way down. Like, almost half! All because they thought Netflix gave all that money. But that’s just hogwash! The stock didn’t drop like that. People just like to gossip, you know? They hear somethin’ and they run with it. It’s like when Mrs. Johnson said she saw a UFO, and it turned out to be just a weather balloon. Folks get carried away, they do.
- So, first thing’s first: Reed Hastings, the Netflix guy, gave some money to Harris.
- But it wasn’t the whole company, just him personally.
- And Netflix’s stock didn’t go down the toilet because of it. That was just a tall tale.
Now, why’s this a big deal anyway? I guess some folks don’t like Harris, and they don’t want her gettin’ money from big companies, or big company people. And other folks, they like Harris just fine, and they don’t care where she gets her money. It’s all politics, I tell ya. Just a bunch of fussin’ and fightin’. Reminds me of the chickens squabbling over the feed in the morning.
And this whole thing about a “satirical website”? Sounds fancy, but it just means somebody made somethin’ up to be funny, or maybe to make trouble. Like when my grandson puts fake bugs in my purse to scare me. It ain’t real, but it can sure cause a ruckus.
So, the long and short of it is this: Reed Hastings, a big fella at Netflix, gave some of his own money to Harris’s campaign. It wasn’t Netflix the company, and the stock didn’t crash. And a lot of what you hear is just gossip and made-up stories. Don’t believe everything you hear, that’s what I always say. Just like how I always say don’t buy a pig in a poke, gotta see the pig for yourself first before you pay for it.
Now, they also talkin’ about some “PAC.” Sounds complicated, but it’s just a group of folks who get together to give money to politicians. Like a bunch of neighbors pooling their money to buy a new tractor, only instead of a tractor, they’re buyin’ influence, I guess. That’s how it seems to me, anyway.
And about that Harris woman, she’s tryin’ to be president, they say. That’s a big job. Like running the whole farm, only a whole lot bigger and messier. You gotta deal with all sorts of people, all sorts of problems. Not sure I’d want that job, even if you paid me a million dollars. Which, I guess, some folks are payin’ Harris, or tryin’ to, with all this campaign money.
So, there you have it. That’s my take on this whole Netflix and Harris thing. It’s a whole lotta fuss about nothin’ much, if you ask me. Just folks talkin’ and gossipin’ and makin’ things bigger than they really are. You’d think they had better things to do, like tendin’ their own gardens or feedin’ their chickens. But I guess politics is more excitin’ than that for some folks. Me, I’ll stick with my chickens. They make more sense, and they don’t lie to you, least not that I can tell.
