Google has to get special permission to come into a community and put down lines. Just the community. Comcast, AT&T, etc can't say squat about it.

Now, with these new rules, these jokers actually has a mechanism to inhibit Google through the FCC. the FCC will be able to 3place conditions on Google too.

Nice.

My dad patented an oil field tool that relied on the magnetic properties of the drill pipe to perform its function.

Someone copied it and started selling it. My Dad sued.

During jury selection an officer of the Navy who specialized in detection and masking of submarines through magnetic means was dismissed from the pool by the defendants.

He knew too much about the key technology involved in the trial.

You are a "Ends justifies the means" guy.

And you are too stupid to understand how that usually ends up. All those people jumping the fence because the were running from people trying to kill them? They were trying to kill them because them being dead was a way to achieve their ends. An Aryan Nation or a Workers Paradise.

So in a way you are shitting all over their graves by citing their plight as a reason to ignore the rule of law.

LEGAL immigrants...those who follow the rules.

We should not welcome anyone who thinks they are more important than the millions waiting in line already.
We should not welcome anyone who steals in order to get work.
We should not welcome anyone who will come here to sign up for benefits.
We should not welcome anyone who doesn't want to learn the language, integrate and become part of our culture.

We can't make any decision until we see past the government/Medical bureaucracy and get complete audit of those "costs".

The Medical Industry is completely opaque when it comes to costs. They are shifted from one area of the business to another, they are obfuscated by accounting gimmicks, government regulations, and insurance practices. Of course that's all par for the course. But before you make policy decisions, you have to know the truth...what's driving the costs. there is no reason all thee issues can't be pushed back in an audit and reveal the truth. Changing the practices can only come after the causes are revealed.

I bet many would be surprised at the answers.
