This same sort of thinking is what brought about the interstate commerce commission rules for railroads.
They though that if you made more the carrier should too.
The government slapped the carriers once before (railroads). It's time to slap the telecom carriers too
And I think about the semi-snarky comment "If we build buildings like we build software, the first woodpecker would destroy civilization", I find myself wondering how anything get's accomplished for real. It seems the really BIG stuff, is a huge one-off and not replicable

Lack of conflict, and harsh language does NOT mean civil. In practice, in the US, it means dishonesty.

I've never seen Linus be brutal
You say that like it's a bad thing
Don't use ATT
If you have such, I would urge you to do the same. This is outrageous and should be banned under US labor law.... I harkens back to the "company store"
Want your money, pay me to get it.
Gack!
Happiness is a hard disk.
