Here’s a tear jerker.
Well…It’s gonna cost you a couple more dollars to “Netflix & chill”….
According to AJC Atlanta:
Starting in May, Netflix’s standard streaming plan will cost $9.99 a month for everyone. As of now, people who subscribed earlier than May 2014 have only been billed their old price of $7.99.
Forty-one percent of customers surveyed said they wouldn’t accept a hike, but only about 3 percent of users are expected to actually leave because of it.
Customers in favor of traditional TV outlets may be in for a rude awakening. Some of the largest cable and satellite companies nationwide are also raising prices.
Customers of DirecTV, AT&T U-verse, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and Dish Network will all see their bills go up by at least $2. So no matter what, it’s going to cost more.
Here’s the thing, can anyone tell me why the rates are going up for the same service? I personally am a HULU girl but I’m sure at some point they’ll follow in the Netflix footprints being as though they are direct competitors.
As a consumer that’s a bummer.

According to the LA Times:
Legislation would allow police officers to use oral swab tests to strengthen cases when there is probable cause that a driver is impaired and the driver has failed sobriety field tests.
A hand-held electronic device would test for the presence of marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines and pain medications, including opiates, on the swab.
According to Republican Sen. Bob Huff of San Dimas, who authored the bill:
“Sadly, we’ve become a nation of self-medicating, careless people. The public is naïve in understanding how dangerous our roads are made by people who are abusing opiates, meth and cannabis.”
