From med school: they swallow the mother's fluids during childbirth.

It's called a case study. It is in fact science. It doesn't "prove" anything but illuminates possibilities for further research.

Did you even bother to read the article? The woman's eating habits and calorie intake were carefully measured and she gained weight despite not changing anything. I've lost 35 lbs with exercise, but despite spending almost 100 minutes and 1100 calories a day, I still can't get rid of the last 5-10 lbs of flab. It doesn't matter how little I eat.

This is actually quite silly. Plans to sell 11 figures worth of business assets ($10,000,000,000) don't happen overnight. This has obviously been years in the making.

Try an iPhone 6 or 6+. Focus is almost instantaneous.

Do you know how many people have refuted your nonsensical argument? Not just in this read but countless others. You're desperately searching for justifications no matter how irrational.

So you want to subsidize a private company so they'll roll out lines and become a monopoly? Great...

Larger size gives you economy of scale, making it easier to deploy infrastructure.

You idiot, the USA's GDP and federal budget is 100x Sweden's. Our massive size gives us huge economies of scale that Norfic countries can't even begin to take advantage of.

Is this a joke? The budget hasn't shrunk under Republicans since Reagan ran up trillions of dollars in deficits. That was 30 years ago. How long does it take for you idiots to learn some basic US history?

Exclusive franchise agreements were outlawed in the freaking 90s. Infrastructure markets always develop into natural monopolies because of the insurmountable capital required to just enter the market. It has nothing to do with the fracking government,

This is basic economics 101.

Yes it is true.

The democrats are center right. Republicans oppose everything they propose.

Sounds pretty corrupt to me,

Then why don't we have fiber in all our cities? And your use of "economies of scale" is literally the opposite of what it actually means. The larger the entity the greater the economies of scale. While we spend $1 trillion+/year on our military, it would take $200 billion to cover the country in fiber. Or $20 billion/year over 10 years- probably less as subscriber revenue would pay for it as the network expanded. That's pocket change for our government.
