Laws protecting monopolies instead of people. Billions taken through systems nobody agreed to. Courts that lock you up for being poor.

Someone should do something.

10 Red Balloons is where that happens. One problem at a time.

You in?

Sure, Disney reveresed their decisions from 7M peopel doing the same.

But this could be a waste, or worse, conditioning if we cannot do it more effectively, less eneryg, at scale.

That is what a group of us are exploring anyway.

"Local" TV news:

70 ABC affiliates are owned by 2 companies.

When they made one decision, 23% of American households couldn't watch Kimmel—even after Disney brought it back.

Local isn't as local as it sounds.

8 times in 50 years.

That's how often the FCC has enforced "news distortion."

A policy used that sparingly should be invoked with caution—not as a threat.

7.1 million cancellations.
At $14/month average.

That's $99 million per month.
$1.2 billion per year.

Investors responded: $6.4 billion wiped in 5 days.

That's what it cost to cross the line.

$6.4 billion lost in 5 days.

That's $53 million per hour.

Every hour Disney waited, $53 million gone.

They stopped waiting on day 5.

7.1 million people canceled in the same week.

Nobody organized them.
There was no petition.
There was no movement.

They just did it.

What if that could happen on purpose?
