"1883" is really good. It's the best one I've seen in a while. TV took the reins of great storytelling from Hollywood then ran it off a cliff. FWIW I know I'm old and cranky.

Ironically a lot of bottled water is just tap. It's one of the biggest scams out there. You're also generally paying 1600x markup. https://stonepierpress.org/goodfoodnews/bottled-water-or-tap... .

Bloated administration caused the costs to skyrocket. The administrators are in charge of cutting costs. The administrators will cut every cost except their own headcount and salaries, because the machine protects itself. As a comparison, w
