Lets Smartsplain:
Here's the truth: You don't want your cable to be unbundled. You just want to pay less for it.
Bloomberg is against consumers wanting lower prices apparently.
Seriously, guys, you like bundling. You know how I know this? You seek it out in your consumer products. You want your hotel to give you free Wi-Fi and you don't want it to charge you by the towel.
Bloomberg has never stayed in a hotel room with a minibar.
Many of you go on all-inclusive vacations and cruises.
So this obviously relates 100% to cable bundling. -- Great insight! "Many" people like gay porn therefore all people want their cable bundled!
And I won't even get started on your agonized wails when airlines started charging you to check a bag and stopped providing a "free" plate of congealed mystery meat.
Yeah you lazy fuckers, what the hell is wrong with you? GET A JOB!
Why do you like bundling? Because you don't want to have to think about it.
Yeah, you don't really know what you want. You don't want to spend any effort.
Now think about cable bundling. The Great Unbundling Fallacy is the belief that if you pay $150 now for 1,000 channels, you ought to be able to pay, say, $25 a month for the channels that you watch.
Yeah you ungrateful fuckers, why do you only want to pay for what you use? Why do you want to pay for the Goats and Grease Channel? They cable company is practically paying to offer it to you!
I'm not arguing that literally no one would save money under an unbundling arrangement, because that would be ludicrous.
