Alright, let’s talk about this Netflix and Kamala thing. Folks been gossiping ’bout it, and I heard some wild stories. Heard tell Netflix just dumped a whole heap of money into Kamala’s pocket, like seven million dollars! Can you believe that? Seven million! That’s more money than I seen in my whole life, I tell ya. But turns out, that ain’t exactly the truth. It wasn’t Netflix, the movie place, it was this fella, Reed Hastings. He’s the big shot who started Netflix, used to be the boss man there.
Now, some folks say Netflix’s stock went down the toilet ’cause of this donation. Said it dropped forty percent! Forty percent! That sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me. But that ain’t true neither. Stock market’s a tricky thing, goes up and down like a seesaw. Can’t blame it all on one fella giving some money to a politician.
So, how much money did they really give? Well, it wasn’t no seven million, that’s for sure. It was more like…uh…one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Yeah, that’s still a pile of money, don’t get me wrong. But it ain’t seven million, not even close. One hundred and fifty thousand. That’s what they gave to Kamala for her president thing, not Netflix itself but this Reed Hastings fella.
So, what’s the big deal? Why are folks all riled up about this? Well, some folks don’t like it when big companies or rich folks give money to politicians. They think it means the politicians will only listen to the rich folks and forget about regular folks like us. And maybe they’re right, maybe they ain’t. It’s hard to say for sure. Politics is a dirty business, always has been, always will be. Full of lies and half-truths and promises that ain’t worth a plugged nickel.
But here’s what I think. This Reed Hastings, he’s got his money, he can do what he wants with it. If he wants to give some to Kamala, that’s his business. Ain’t nobody forcing him. And Kamala, well, she needs money to run her campaign, that’s just how it is. Politics ain’t cheap, you know. You gotta buy ads and travel all over the place and hire folks to work for you. It all costs money.
And this whole thing about Netflix, it’s just plain wrong. Netflix didn’t give the money, this Reed Hastings fella did. It’s important to get the facts straight, folks. Don’t just believe everything you hear on the TV or the internet. People like to gossip and spread rumors, makes ’em feel important or somethin’. But you gotta be careful, gotta think for yourself, gotta figure out what’s true and what ain’t.
- Netflix didn’t donate 7 million.
- Reed Hastings, the co-founder, donated $150,000.
- The donation was to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
- Netflix stock didn’t drop 40% because of the donation.
So, there you have it. The truth about Netflix and Kamala. It ain’t as scandalous as some folks make it out to be. Just a rich fella giving some money to a politician. Happens all the time. Nothing new under the sun, as they say.
And let me tell you somethin’ else. This whole thing reminds me of that time when old man Johnson down the road said he saw a UFO. Turned out it was just a weather balloon. People like to make a big fuss outta nothin’. Always have, always will. It’s just human nature, I guess. But like I said before, you gotta be careful, gotta think for yourself, gotta figure out what’s true and what ain’t. Don’t let nobody pull the wool over your eyes, ya hear?
So, next time you hear some wild story about Netflix or Kamala or anybody else, just take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Is this really true? Or is it just a bunch of hogwash?” You’d be surprised how much hogwash is out there. The world’s full of it. Gotta be smart, gotta be careful, gotta use your common sense. That’s what I always say. And that’s all I gotta say about that.
