We already give our students Halloween off, we just call it Nevada Day, you insensitive clod!
Fucking Nevada Day Parade and we knew every year we were going to be behind Bertha and Tina. One eye on Sousa and the other on where you are stepping.

major cable and telecom companies have battled attempts to create community broadband networks, which they claim put them at a competitive disadvantage.
Complete bullshit.
No - they are right. Municipal broadband might have good customer service and actual high speed connections, which would be a serious competitive disadvantage to entities like Comcast, who do not want to have to match those.

Not to belittle the loss of those involved but it's always a bit much that 43 dead in the US = catastrophe. If this had happened in Asia or Africa it wouldn't make the news unless hundreds or thousands had been killed.
