Yes, Best Buy said this.

Happened upon the paragraph below on the Best Buy website.  As most people know, Best Buy soon plans to murder sales of physical DVDs/Blu-rays/4K discs both in their stores and online.


Benefits of ownership.

With streaming media increasingly available, you might wonder why you'd want to own a physical copy of movies and TV shows on your Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. Well, you might want to be entertained in a part of the world without Internet access — like when you're watching TV in a remote cabin get-away or keeping the kids entertained while they're in the car. Plus, serious fans of certain TV shows like to own libraries of their favorite movies and shows for marathon watching sessions or loaning to friends.

New Poem: MASTODON FIGHT

 get ready once more

 two mastodons enter the stadium

 for more roars and tusk-butts

 >

 the media loves rematches

 even if most of the public doesn’t 

 >

 watch Donald dance away 

 from what he stirred up on 1/6/21

 heh heh, nothing to do with me

 they got overexcited on their own

 you don’t mind if I squash civil liberties next time

 >

 see Joe bark at those who

 dare to bring up Israel and Gaza

 and his failure to distance from Bibi’s slaughter 

 he says look, I cut insulin prices

 and got both parties to agree on infrastructure 

 >

 someone asks why he doesn’t tout the accomplishments 

 instead of always shouting OOGA BOOGA TRUMP

 the crowd boos the question 

 Joe resumes the stump speech 


 this is what we get

 when we don’t have big donor money

 or super PAC clout

 to push for real change

 to keep old men with outmoded methods 

 away from oval offices and nuclear footballs
