I love the convenience of streaming, but for any movie or show that I really love, I want to own a physical copy. The quality often better, and it is much less likely to disappear suddenly if a license expires or a company merges out of business. And disks often have cool extras.

Please, Rep Moore, and Sens Lee and Curtis, speak up against the scapegoating of immigrants from Somalia. Silence in the face of hate will be taken as agreement. Utahns have always welcomed refugees from anywhere. Please represent our views, and speak out against the president’s hateful speech

Even though the government shutdown is over, the health care subsidies at the heart of it are still in limbo. Now, prices could double for millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Utahns.
