No, revenue is how much money you bring in, no matter what kind of organization.

Expenses are how much money goes out.

The difference is called profit or loss for a company, or surplus or loss for a government, but it's still the difference.

So those figures I directly compared are directly comparable.

"unregulated free markets."

We should stop giving the anti-capitalists even this much daylight. An unregulated market *cannot* be a free market, and anyone trying to tell us different has given themselves away as an attempted thief.

There are reasonable arguments about particular regulations, but no one has ever shown a rational path to satisfying the conditions of a free market with no regulatory framework to maintain those conditions.

Okay, so the US is still larger than a corporation.

However, the largest corporate revenue (Walmart, $468 billion/year) would come in at #12 among nations, between Australia ($498 billion/year) and India($440 billion/year).

"Back in the Founders day, there was the East India Tea Company, but still governments were unquestioningly the shot callers."

Back in the Founders day, the East India Company literally owned the armies and the governments for a major part of India.

That's pretty good... except they would have no problem leaving their moles unprotected if it suited them.

"It gets pennies compared to orgs who want to ensure that some mole that no one has ever heard of remains protected."

The EPA has less than half the budget of NASA. "Beggar thy neighbor" is a sucker's game.

"That Socrates was a bit over-rated, don't you think?"

I drank what?

Note that problems also involve Korean, which is written with an alphabet not ideographs.

What makes you think that Apple has your available credit balance or is trying to get it?

"economically and technologically flawed" ...which is also just like a normal currency. ;-)

"don't seem to garner nearly the same media attention as those targeting women"

Here is *one* story of women being targeted. The only way there could be fewer stories about men is if there had never been any at all.

The question of rebroadcasting rights is irrelevant to this case, since the class does not contain broadcasters and thus would have no standing on that issue.

"wasnt this kind of connectivity the sort of rate-limited and overpriced stuff the FCC railed against a few months ago?"

No, the FCC railed against putting substandard infrastructure in public housing so that residents could not possibly upgrade their connection no matter how much they were willing to pay.

" they have something nobody else has, they know it, their customers know it, and the customers pay. Bullies, one and all, with none to push back."

And you said they were terrible at marketing. ;-)

Marketing is not about creating a positive attitude, it is about creating a positive incentive. That can be a positive attitude, or it can be the edge of a cliff.
