Har-de-har har.

Competition? We had that in the late nineties. The big companies *ATE* the smaller companies. In Chicago, inside of two or so years, my original ISP was eaten, then that was eaten by RSN.

And then there's the big companies, who want insane amounts of money for you to get a line, if you're in a rural area (I've friends who've had that issue.) And the small companies would *have* to connect to the big guys, and they'd be priced out.

Isn't it an obvious *fact*? Shouldn't that be "Warren attacks"?

and in two weeks, they'll announce that you have to start paying $10/mo to *NOT* have ads on it.

Anyone who connects their BMC to the Internet needs to be defenestrated, then fired. Preferably from a cannon.

We used it to some degree at my last job. It was routed to internal addresses ONLY, and inaccessible from the outside.

The first comments - do you actually work for HP? I mean, are you being paid to post this crap?

The printers never used to have this issue - this is the *same* thing as Boeing, and so many others - business MBA who want to report ROI, never mind making actual products that people want to use.

And the price the OEMs charge for ink and toner is significantly higher than gold.

Fortunately, the third party supplier I was buying from at work, and that I now buy from at home (tonerprice.com), the ink and toner works just fine... at one-quarter the price.

Sure: here, remove all of it. Then restart with ones you own rights to.

And you're implying that they're going to raise it more than the publicly-owned ones? I suggest you read about the UK's Themes Water Co, that supplies London... https://fortune.com/europe/202...

Well, gee, then the obvious answer is to de-privatize water companies, so that there's no execs getting big salaries, bonuses, and dividends to big investors.

Windfarms are "noisy"? Funny, when we drive through the 10-mi long windfarm in Indiana, we can't even hear it over the traffic.

no time at all.

But this is Texas, where they abuse teachers to play their "Christian" white supremecist narrative, and teachers are leaving the state.

And you live where? And is that in your own immobile home, or an apartment?

Oh, right, it's all them.

Rather than, say, what my late ex, who was an engineer at the Cape for 17 years used to tell me: she and other engineers kept trying, and the time-servers in management kept refusing to sign off.

Have... you taken your meds lately?

Hi, there, racist ignorant slut.

How 'bout the Italian-Americans in South Philly, near the oil refineries? How 'bout the folks in northern New Jersey?

Students are paying for a trained human to do this.

And using the chatbot, instead of grad students?

Oh, right, first go from 70% tenured in the 1970's to 30% now, and grad student instructors with *ZERO* job security, let's get rid of them, so we can pay the president and the coach more. Who cares about grad students?
