I have no issue with it taking a reasonable time. But this complaint is now decades old. They've had government handouts to provide better rural access based on fees for the entirety of the century so far IIRC or close enough.
And we've been paying the fees for that long. So if that money hasn't been used for what I paid for I want it back.

Because they are two different things mostly. Also in most cases if a witness claims 5th amendment right to silence how, without violating the 5th, can you know whether or not their testimony would reveal some crime on their part or not. Barring a very solid grant immunity from ANY crime their own said testimony may reveal you can't and so the same right effectively applies.
    Also many jurisdictions do protect the sources of reporters given the valuable service of exposing to the public corruption and such in high places they could not provide as easily without it.

Both of those have much higher regulatory costs than their subsidies, though my understanding is that coal is a better proposition that way.
  Which is sad because nuclear with modern designs is far better than solar or coal. Coal actually puts more radiation in the environment and solar produces a lot more toxic waste compared to many designs that effectively recycle their nuclear waste down to a tiny fraction of older designs.
