Should movie theaters make phone-free screenings the default?

Theaters already sell a dozen different versions of the same movie: sensory-friendly screenings, 21-plus shows, subtitled showings, IMAX, matinees. Nobody calls that discrimination. It is just programming for different needs, which is exactly what a phone-free default with phone-friendly exceptions would be. [AMC](https://www.amctheatres.com) already runs monthly sensory-friendly screenings for guests who need lower volume and lights up, proof that multiplexes can segment showtimes without drama. The phone is no different from volume or lighting: one more variable in the room. Set the default for immersion, label the exceptions clearly, and stop pretending every screening must be identical.

Should college athletes be classified as employees with salaries and benefits?

The numbers ended the amateurism debate before the lawyers did. The NCAA signed tournament TV deals worth billions while the athletes generating the product got cost-of-attendance stipends. The House settlement approved in June 2025 sends about $2.8 billion in back damages to former athletes and lets schools share up to $20.5 million per year directly with players, according to [NCAA announcements](https://www.ncaa.org/). If a university can pay a football coach $10 million a year from revenue the players produce, calling those players 'student-athletes' instead of employees is a legal fiction. Employees get minimum wage, workers' comp, and a union voice. College athletes get concussions and a pat on the back. Classify them as employees and the fiction ends.

The Norway point is the best one on this whole page and it's not close. Build public wealth instead of just resenting private wealth. More of this energy please.

As someone who works in biotech, the insulin comment is fair but incomplete. Drug development really does cost billions and most candidates fail. The pricing abuse is real AND the R&D risk is real. Both things.

The 24 percent heart attack spike is the number that should end this debate. We are talking about a government policy that predictably injures people twice a year. No tradition is worth that.
