The 4 million American notes most likely went into the FCC spam folder and had no impact on how they are handling this particular issue.
Nope. They are going into the other 292 pages of the regulations (only 8 pages are new regulations, 292 pages respond to the 4 million comments).
I grew up as a Republican, but lately I just can't get behind any of their positions (besides the moral ones).
Yes, society would be way better with universal healthcare (and as a Christian, I really don't see how any Christian could see it otherwise...do you WANT people to suffer and die because they can't afford otherwise?).
And of course the internet should just be a dumb pipe. How anyone could think they want otherwise is just brainwashing by the horrible greedy people that own the large telecoms.
"Really? Can you give actual examples of how "players cheat" in the absence of government regulation?"
Hey Netflix... It would be a shame if something happened to that nice shiny pipe that your using... No, we don't want your FREE CDN to improve service to our customers but it's too bad that pipe is getting so clogged... No we won't allow you to pay $10,000 for a router to fix the problem permanently. Oh look, the pipe is getting really clogged now... Yeah, we can get a plumber, but it's gonna cost you...
Do you know anyone personally who LOST insurance? I know many people who gained through Covered California, but I don't know anyone who lost. I paid more for less the first renewal after it passed, but this year I am paying WAY less for way more.
Who is this person that thinks they have insurance but don't? Do you know anyone like that personally? Do you have a link?
Who is seeing their rate explode? Mine went up about 25% the first year after it passed, but now my rate is lower than before it passed and I have better coverage.
I was skeptical at first, but after the first 12 months I am seeing a vast improvement over what we had.
While I agree with you in general principles about human nature, in this case, we have:
It's not really hard to see who is good (others-centered) and who is evil (self-centered).
Let me explain how your uncontrolled science is flawed:
One that is exposed to peanuts as infants and where the breastfeeding percentage is nearly 100% (I assume you are talking about Africa or somewhere here)
One that is not and where the breastfeeding percentage is only 77% (the USA for example)
In my research, allergies are compounded by the trend in the late 70s and 80s to prefer formula to breast milk. All allergy studies need to take this into account, since it has been shown that breast milk (especially colostrum) is instrumental in fighting allergies. Why do so many people have allergies today compared to 20-30 years ago?
1. They weren't breast fed.
2. We now have GMO products that may not be the same as non-GMO but since there is no labeling, it's difficult to study this.
You know, the difference between this company and the Titanic is that the Titanic had paying customers.
