    Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how Bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    “Trickle Down” was a rebrand. It used to be called Horse and Sparrow Economics.

    If Boomers hadn’t been so collectively ignorant and narcissistic, they would have maybe realized how fucking stupid their voting choices were. They had the opportunity to get higher educations for the cost of a reasonably priced car, but instead chose to stew in their lack of understanding for 50 years, while gas-lighting everyone within earshot with made up nonsense.

    Boomers are precisely why America is in the position it’s in now.










  • They have physical locations and extant real estate across the entire US.

    So, rather than continuing to give billions to private ISPs that do literally nothing with that money, and who double-down to curtail services whenever mildly inconvenient, my suggestion is that we (ie US Government) does not provide a single additional dollar in funding or subsidies, and instead invests that money in building itself a USG internet UTILITY. If necessary, clawback the billions that have gone to Comcast, ATT, Verizon et al, or just seize their networks and charge their executives with RICO and fraud. They essentially operate as a cartel anyway.
