MBAs: Let's outsource and cost-cut our way into danger!
Right-wing idiots on Slashdot: Der her look what DEI did!

Are you that easily tricked by stupid right-wing talking points?

Now do this to bigger ISPs, and eventually work your way up to Comcast/Xfinity and Verizon, for taking hundreds of millions of dollars as part of a federal program for rural broadband, then lobbying the government to change the definition of broadband to include ASDL (so they could "give broadband" to areas without replacing aging copper lines).

See, here's the thing -- salaries are highly dependent on location. You might be able to get a beautiful, 3000 square foot house in Trumpistan, Alabama, but if the only jobs are "Walmart cashier" there then it's not going to help you very much.

USA carbon emissions from energy production peaked in 2007, and have been declining (somewhat bumpily) ever since, primarily because we have been replacing coal with natural gas.

... can connect to my house's wifi. I enabled it to see if it would reach out and reset the clock.
Nope - it only resets the clock through OnStar, which I refuse to pay for.

I now see that I should definitely disable that - it does nothing useful, and might be sending data back to GM.
I should crank up Wireshark before turning it off, just to see if it's obviously sending data back.

The big problem is their core user base is made up of just terrible people who drive their non-core base away.

I have no doubt reddit shares are going to soar in price after the IPO simply because I don't plan on buying anything and that's how it seems to work.

Has the EU found any companies headquartered in the EU doing similar stuff?
