You forgot to mention Al Sweringen the local businessman from Deadwood in the Netflix part, Srini! -- Just to impress your point [above]: "Sometimes I wish we could just hit 'em over the head, rob 'em, and throw their bodies in the creek" Al could have been CEO of Netflix in a different century...anyways, all that said, you did mention Elon's X which is important - so I forgive you!
Awesome piece, if it wasn't so serious, I'd be LMAO!
