private industry is good for us, business competing for our business drives prices down and promotes good quality/service. college started getting expensive when the department of education came into existence. idk why the government needs to be involved with education. same government that put out reefer madness and such.


I see you are a man of culture

I don't get the hate directed at ISPs. They have a monopoly and remarkably don't really do anything abusive with it. Rates are reasonable, censorship has actually become less prevalent with the fall of the RIAA. They won't even send out spooky warning letters let alone cut you off anymore.
Meanwhile mobile networks have more competition, but charge preposterous extortionate rates, with absurd profit margins. Paying $2.5 million per gigabyte of data on text messages, or $100+ per month for 6 gigabytes of mobile data?

Hey Goom... Trump's DNI(Director of National Intelligence) just said that the national debt is the greatest national security threat the US has. I've heard officials say this kind of thing before.

What's your argument as to why they are wrong?

That the national debt never bombed any towers, that the national debt can't drive us into civil war, the national debt doesn't own 4000 nuclear missiles and 500 imcbs with MIRV warheads
That if we wanted to stretch national security to tangential concepts and meta-analysis, the greatest threat to 'national security' is pork chops

Lol. Who pays that much for their phone? I pay £20(~$30) /month for unlimited worldwide calls and texts. Less than the price of a cheap takeout for unlimited access.

He's an upper class aristocrat who has a vineyard in his back yard.

He most certainly doesn't live in a cave. He is a man of the people.

Drink bleach, I live in Canada and the cost of an internet connection to my igloo is ridiculous
