Most people don't care enough, but if it's that big of a deal for you, go to a different restaurant. There's your choice.
If watching HBO is more important than having an internet only option, then pay for HBO. Otherwise ditch HBO and go internet only through Netflix or something.
Having choice doesn't mean you get to decide what all the options are.
- bluedanieru 14y agoI think you're just being deliberately obtuse here, but anyway here goes: the OP is pointing out the restriction of choice, not what the choices are. You won't find a restaurant that serves both Coke and Pepsi. Whether you can go to another restaurant or whatever is completely beside the point.
