Listen folks... it boils down to parenting! If you don't want your children eating it, tell them not to. Don't punish everyone because YOUR CHILDREN won't eat healthy.
Think of it this way... if I want to hire someone, I want to do so based on qualifications/talent, NOT because of residency! Does anyone else see a problem with this? To me it sounds like the bottom line is greed... the government wants to keep money local and they intend to do so by limiting jobs to only those people willing to give money back, NOT based on "The best fit for the job." To me this wreaks of discrimination by the government. Someone call an attorney.
First Off... Existing Gazette subscribers can have online service for the same amount they had always paid!
2nd... The free loaders better get used to pulling out their wallet. Nothing is free.
3rd... For those who would subscribe to the Times Union... Go ahead, support the corporate based company that doesn't give a damned about you. Much like they care about their own employees.
4th... Has anyone given thought to privacy & free speech. If you want to comment on something, The Gazette will know who you are. Good-Bye anonymity. Good-Bye free speech.
In response to nygirl61... OK, how do you make it in the real world if you don't charge for your services?
In response to nypolarbear123... Don't you have anything better to do than worry about the dead?
In response to Adirondackal... Do you really believe the supply & demand models the USA has painted. Seriously, if those models were true, prices would be falling. Regretfully, greed rules as is evident with all the people who are upset because they will have to pay for the services they use.
In response to Retired... You are right, like many newspapers today, The Gazette is a shell of it's former self.
In response to annarondac... what does supermarkets have to do with this?
In response to CPMark... I still pay to read the E-Edition and I'm sure I'm not alone. The Gazette didn't fail by charging for online service in the past & now they are just making it better.
In response to timsloan... Rather than posting your cynicism, try posting your thoughts... if you have any.
In response to aedstrom & lor662... you are both right!!!
In response to propjr... SAME TO YOU!
In response to localyokel... insanity is trying the same thing that failed before IF YOU DO IT THE SAME WAY.
