Should a milkshake in Huntsville cost more than a monthly subscription to Hulu or Paramount+?
On a recent Sunday afternoon, I stopped by Oscar Moon’s Milkshake Shop to find out. The shop is located at Stovehouse, address 3414 Governor’s Drive, the food and music destination that’s become a local must-do since opening 2019.
Luckily it was raining. I say luckily because otherwise the line at Oscar Moon’s would’ve probably been out the door again, as it has been many days since the shop opened on April Fool’s Day.
In Britain, BT has decided that the £5billion or so it has spent on football rights is not the best of investments, and chief executive Philip Jansen wants more focus on delivering fibre for UK broadband users.
New York telecoms behemoth Verizon Communications is on a similar journey – it is disposing of its media brands Yahoo! and AOL to private equity. It also has disposed of blogging platforms Tumblr and Huff Post.
Verizon found it hard to compete in the digital advertising space with online giants Facebook and Google. It is doubling down on efforts to roll out 5G super-fast mobile networks across the US.
Tuesday, Apr 27, 2021 Let’s once again go back to March 5, 2018 and my question to all gubernatorial candidates…
Will you pledge as governor to veto any state legislative redistricting map proposal that is in any way drafted or created by legislators, political party leaders and/or their staffs or allies? The exception, of course, would be the final official draft by LRB. JB Pritzker’s response…
Yes, I will pledge to veto. We should amend the constitution to create an independent commission to draw legislative maps, but in the meantime, I would urge Democrats and Republicans to agree to an independent commission to handle creating a new legislative map. That designated body should reflect the gender, racial, and geographic diversity of the state and look to preserve the Voting Rights Act decisions to ensure racial and language minorities are fully represented in the electoral process.
