Netflix isn't filling government contracts Nor has Netflix lied to governments for years about the efficiency of their products and purposefully built devices

Netflix isn't filling government contracts Nor has Netflix lied to governments for years about the efficiency of their products and purposefully built devices to defeat government tests. VW is either facing massive multi billion dollar fines or has to reach other agreements. VW has had access to the US for decades. Them building electric cars in the US has nothing to do with access to the US market. Netflix will, in fact, be paying to license domestic content. And the more their customers watch domestic content, the more they will pay the content providers. The government itself will be cut out of the loop and that's really the problem here.

The US government continually blocked VW from the US market, including the EPA sometimes taking 3 years for a single emission test. As soon as a VW plant in the south of the US was built, somehow all that stopped. > The government itself will be cut out of the loop and that's really the problem here. Yes, and that’s the entire issue. We’re getting a world where companies (which are basically dictatorships of the rich) are getting more power over governments. That doesn’t help anyone but the already rich.
