And again they also have no defense costs except toys to play with because the US pays for their defense.

So yeah.

End the war on drugs. Stop tearing families apart for non violent offenders and victimless crimes.

Dissolve the DEA. Return the money to the tax payers. Lower taxes.

Stop the savagery. Portugal and now Norway. Hopefully the sane nations continue to grow.

That’s the party that tried to bring us the Clipper chip my friend. Think about that.

Second do you have ANY idea how many elections the US has “meddled” in? Let alone how many leaders we have literally overthrown?? Get some perspective. If you don’t like other nations pissing in our oatmeal I seriously suggest we stop pissing, shitting, and vomiting in theirs. Golden rule and all. Let the booing begin.

Even the latest MM wave hardware rolling out would be ok for now but tomorrow? Who knows how much of an upgrade path you will have in terms of speed and capacity.

Wireless doesn’t need to be gigabit to the home. 200mb/s would do a few streams of 4K and then handle most of everything else you need. Throw in caching and I don’t think you would need to offer gigabit speeds. If you did you couldn’t support many folks per station.

I wish wireless was a silver bullet but it’s shaky at best imo.

It’s clearly the ONLY option for breaking the back of the incumbents. Especially if you only rely on private building access and bypass street lights and utility poles.

Thoughts?

I really can’t tell which horrendous act is worse.

And in that context the more providers of dumb pipes we have the better. It’s just a race to the bottom then. Who offers the lowest latency, highest speed and capacity pipe for the cheapest price.

You know I would almost be willing to consider scrapping NN if they also had the power to overturn and throw out ALL incumbent laws preventing competition from accessing right of ways, street and utility poles and making it so easy to bury cable you could do it in your sleep at state/city/local levels.

Doctors offering direct pay are cash only. They charge a small monthly fee. Here in Missouri it’s about $100/month. For that $100/month you get seen the same day!!! I haven’t been able to get seen by a doctor the same day since I was like 5 and that was 1980. Usually it’s a week or so before an appointment can be made. You also get an hour with the doctor. No rushing you in and out to increase turnover. Most things up to minor urgent care are included as well including stitches and lacerations. You only pay for materials used. Which is usually very cheap. A couple bucks for gauze. A couple for stitches. Medication and labs massively reduced from insurance rates. Flu shots are free. Etc

Direct pay providers are becoming more common as more and more doctors say “screw insurance and federal government red tape and regulations”. They are just absolutely done with the mess and pain of insurance and government regulations. Most even provide house calls! House calls! I haven’t seen a doctor do house calls since little house on the prairie!

Seriously if you are in the states look into it! The wife and I are more than likely moving to direct pay with a high dedeuctible catastrophic insurance plan this year and we will be saving over $500/month on our employee provided Cadillac insurance plan.
