Bill Murray has been a "big famous actor" since 1977 when he replaced Chevy Chase in Saturday Night Live. Ghostbusters is a young man's movie, and Murray looks older than Gene Hackman on a bad day. They'd have to apply makeup with a trowel.

And grouping "white, male, racist, asshole" together is a standard leftist lie.

Small New Hampshire town here. Many local officials aren't even paid, yet they're elective offices. There isn't much leeway for waste when the government is paid for out of a population of 2000.

10,000 pages is about 30 to 45 books. No need to leave the house, that's $250 to $370 from Amazon, delivered to your door. Less than cable TV.

Actually, $2 billion profit on $64 billion revenue is very poor profit margin for anything but static industries. 3% leaves too little tolerance for mistakes.

How many local governments actually have the ability to build out a fiber network? They'd have to contract it done, probably by the same company that would have done it anyway.

The history of cable laying must vary by community, because where I live it was paid for by the cable company.

Railroads built a lot of bridges.

Private highways were being built and used when Eisenhower pushed through the Interstate system. Part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike was originally private. Government has the advantage of stealing land through eminent domain; private companies could easily be stymied if they had an enemy in government, or just a bureaucrat soliciting bribes. Buying land from tens of thousands of landowners to make way for a big road is no easy undertaking.

Do you pay to drive from one end of a WalMart parking lot to the other? It's private. Why aren't there any tolls?

Neighborhoods sometimes have private roads, and don't charge tolls. The residents pay for road upkeep through a property owner's association. Private roads through a business district could be maintained the same way, either through contracting work on their road or paying a road company in possession of the road a fee for its use. The net effect would be the same as paying for road maintenance through taxes, with the additional advantage that road owners don't have to go begging to the government to fix that pothole that's been growing for five months.

The government is meant to serve the people

NO

The proper function of government is to identify human rights, codify them, and defend them. Anything else whatsoever is a usurpation that inevitably does more harm than good.

There are only 2 ways for government to serve: with slaves or by paying people to serve. The money to pay is taken from those who earn it by those who don't.

Wolves raised by humans from birth do not communicate as well with humans as most domestic dogs (or so I've read.) A domestic dog will learn to look where you point, a wolf will look at your hand.

Removing the antenna is no guarantee of disabling wifi. The antenna is a fairly efficient broadcast device, but if you remove it there's still wiring to the antenna mount that will radiate. Range will be reduced, so a spy will have to get closer, but removing the antenna is not a total solution.

Even at greatly increased prices tap water used for drinking does not amount to much money. That and a couple of flushes a day is all anyone needs, and that's not enough to justify a cutout for the poor.

The market will direct water from rivers to users, rather than from rivers to the ocean. Predatory government ensures misallocation of resources.

If it weren't for anti-child-labor laws and minimum-wage laws, a lot of the farm work attracting illegal immigrants could be done by the children of Americans. This is part of California's problem.

And "alternative sexual lifestyles" covers more ground than just homosexual couples: single parent families, and the irresponsible parents who are (in growing and unreported numbers) abandoning their children. Children need to be taught how to support themselves and nurture their own future children, rather than feel good about whatever they do and feel indignant about those who do support themselves
