A monopoly is illegal??
Dude, have you LOOKED at your healthcare laws??
Obamacare was a step in the right direction, but even it was sabotaged by your drug and medical corporations.
Gerrymandering
A congress with a 19% approval rating *that keeps getting voted into power??
Monopoly on religion
Monopoly on race
Seriously, Don't say monopolies are illegal in the US.
"All you need is access to the internet"
True.
What if the cheapest provider is 200 bucks a month? 2000?
What happens to the people who do not pay??
Your very freedom to information is being destroyed, it is the same as it was in the middle ages where the church controlled all higher learning, and then it "claimed" to bring in knowledge and *to this day* claims that science would not exist without the church.
Do I think this is a "bad thing"
YES, oh gods YES, because If I take your electricity, and if I take your net access, you cannot research, I can take your learning away, not from you, but from your children, and their children.
What could a child learn if they walked into your house with no power??
This is not some kind of "bullshit survivalist" crap, I own no guns, I hoard no food, but I *DO* have books that have stories, and philosophy, and English, Math, Science and chemistry. I don't fear a "zombie apocalypse" or WW3, I fear a loss of knowledge, and what that could do to us as a species.
Can you see this?
