..the whole point is is that they don’t exist due to over regulation existing way above beyond and before net neutrality. You’ve killed them already. Try comparing some of the known freer markets in internet such as those seen in Poland, Romania.
The nonexistence of smaller ISPs at present isn’t a valid justification to continue the status quo that suffocated them in the first place.
Another Koch brothers smear piece, yawn. Everybody who liked these dudes’ facebook feed know they’re about the only two people in the country really fighting for America instead of irrationally allying along party lines, and pushing a specific party agenda when it is irrational

My experience in the past 10 months has been 180 degrees opposite. My friends all know I eat once daily, and when we go to a restaurant with the perfect food to double-up on and pig out, I struggle to eat any more than anyone else eating just 1 meal of 3 for the day. I definitely feel my stomach has shrunk.
I'm down 40lbs, but have been at this weight since month 2. A much more athletic friend's experiences combined with mine, we are slowing reaching the conclusion that 1x / 24hr can help with weightloss when you are 20~80lbs overweight. But once you are under that you need to start on 48 hr fasts to make progress.
And calorie dense food? Ever since my paleo days 5 years back (a 1 yr experiment) I've continually eaten much more calorie dense foods on purpose, to reach satiety with greater ease. I will never, for example, consume whole milk. I drink straight glasses of half&half for the extra fat content and calories.
HK is kind of an odd example, though, because it is a city-country. It's not like you have a "Florida" to go off to when you are old. You're either in HK itself or in a foreign country (ESPECIALLY China)
Have you been there? It's not something to look forward to. Every stinkin' place you want to go involves 45 minutes of road travel. Just because you get to zone out all the while doesn't mean your day isn't deprived of an immense amount of time.
(To put things in perspective, I'm in Austin where everything, absolutely everything, is within 15 minutes' drive, but it is a "catastrophe" that during peak hours that becomes 35-40. Working at home and driving only off-peak hours has it's perks!)
But what's your point? This is an utterly rubbish reason/excuse for America's "great cities" to remain the shame/buttholes of the world forevermore. It is the Christianity + liberalism's worship of the poor that leads to subsidized instead of market-rate (PROFITABLE) subway trips which means no money to fix or improve anything unless the money can be stolen from tax payers (instead of the rational thing --> getting it from the fricking folks who BENEFIT from the subway)....
Until we get over the age of altruism, America is doomed.
You guys are all wrong because you're ignorant of cascading effects. Read The Millionaire Next Door if you have to, but this does apply all the way down to things like a coffee, and of course you do have to draw the line of being a cheapskate somewhere to keep your insanity.
Case and point my car. Had a fantastic Toyota $8000. Cost me nothing in maintenance and $150/mo car payment. Told myself I am blowing $150/mo on toys why not upgrade to a 286hp high miles Acura (115,000) and really enjoy the driving that I do do instead of puttering around. If I just waste $150 less a month I'll break exactly even. Nope. Didn't work. Cascade effect. Now that I'm psychologically in my dream car, a 'luxury' car, I feel like I need to park in the covered garage, and I feel like it is okay to go to nicer restaurants because my car looks fine in the lot surrounded by other decent cars. Tires? They don't cost 2x as much but 6x as much! Brakes are 4x as much. Car insurance skyrocketed from $36/mo to $56. Oh and I have to use premium gas. This extra $150/mo car payment is the LEAST of the additional expenses the more exciting car cost me.
Same happens when you live in an upscale neighborhood or buy a nice house...it becomes infinitely easier to justify tangential expenses. Read
The Millionaire Next Door to understand this effect better.
They think about it with their brains. Brains are the ONLY part a human CAN use to think about ANYTHING. And if this wasn't what you were asking, maybe you should learn what the fuck the English word 'how' means, because apparently you just don't get it.
Damn foreigners, don't you have your own language to abuse?
As a 10 year old boy, I can assure you saying 'bullshit' is a good way to get the shit smacked out of me. Other words that enrage 4th grade teachers and lead to trips to the principal's office include: suck, jeez (because it is pseudo for Jesus, hence almost taking God's name in vain), freaking (because the INTENT is to say fucking but in a wussy way), shoot (because the intent is to say SHIT), gaywad, and 'shiver me timbers'.
I cannot believe that it's still friggin necessary to explain this simple fact that some people have an advanced copy of a book and so are able to put up a review right away. And what's even worse is if you have to explain this to a technical person... Jesus
Thanks so much BRILLIANT GUY for enlightening us to your brilliant review fraud theory. We are all more retarded now.
agreed 100%. Too bad the perverse Christian morality pf altruism has so infected our world that even to a person such as myself such a rational paragraph sounds a bit sarcastic
Jesus unholy Christ, how many Yanomami 13 year olds do you even know? let me guess. NONE
Go look up research on how long adolescence has been extended in the past few hundred years - now in the past 20 they're saying it has extended into the 20s. Suppose that makes most of us rapists.
