Comment Re:Quit COMPLAINING about Comcast and buy them out (Score 1) 368

Natural monopolies exist for a reason. There is no reason to have six sets up copper on a pole delivering the same shit. Your argument that AT&T used regulation to prevent being sued has nothing to do with natural monopolies or regulation, it is simply and example of talented lawyers finding a solution to their problem within the greater scope of "rent seeking behavior." It was easier to limit their liability through regulation than being a better business.

As to " government specialized in correcting problems it created " that is the only possible logical approach to anything. The assumption that the free market or the government can do anything perfectly the first time and that it shouldn't continuously improved is insane. It is a fallacy that government is anything different than any other human endeavor, a pile of shit that stinks and need to be cleaned from time to time. The only reason the free market and business are seen as better is because you are unaware of the vast majority of cluster fucks that occur in business, you only become aware of success by its nature and so you have an unrealistic view of the market.

I know for a fact you are wrong. We have a WISP provider in a rural area. We put in a permit application to run fiber from the wireless link to the neighborhood. As soon as we we threatening competition Comcast came in and put up wires after us asking for 30 years. The dicks also stopped at our property line and refused to run cable to our 4 rental houses. Yes it could have been a coincidence but I doubt it.

Natural monopolies should never be for profit. This is what happens when you pay lip service to free market capitalism and fail to regulate. You get natural monoploies acting as either true monopolies or oligopolies.

If you every household who uses comcast turn off their service and spends the 150 a month on Comcast stock even if the stock stayed steady it would take 2 years to buy them out. Then we put Nader, Lessig, et. al on the board and FIRE EVERY FUCKING EXEC AND MANAGER IN THAT FUCK HOLE.

Listen oh ye of quick fingers and slow mind, it is better to have said something wrong quick to how you say "make yourself feel superior" or to have just googled it?
P.S. My superiority comes from 1st generation hybrid monkey and alien DNA.
