I try to be charitable in my assumptions about the motives of civil servants. I think their jobs are more difficult than most imagine, and the press coverage isn't always fair.
But I'm really struggling to find a charitable explanation for how Ajit Pai is conducting himself as FCC commissioner.
Can anyone think of a plausible theory that doesn't involve malice [EDIT: I should have said "self-serving" instead of "malice"] or extreme incompetence on his part?
- ars 7y ago> for how Ajit Pai is conducting himself as FCC commissioner. What things are bothering you? Unlike the insinuation of the person your replied to, in reality he worked on this Caller ID issue almost immediately upon becoming chairman. (He put out an action paper July 2017, and became Chairman in January.) Net Neutrality seems to have had zero actual (as opposed to theoretical) problems, so that wasn't a problem either. So what things are you seeing that you want explanations for?
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoMy problems with Pai's leadership are the same gripes you'll find from Googling those various issues. Apologies but I don't have time to dig up references at the moment.
- ars 7y agoSo basically you have no gripes? > "But I'm really struggling to find a charitable explanation" An explanation for what?? Ajit Pai was the one who got this Called ID situation taken care of. What in the world do you have to complain about? I don't need references - what are you complaining about?
