Competition is what we need, look at cities where Google fiber is available, internet for everyone is faster and cheaper than anywhere in the country and there are of course no data caps in those cities.
It’s why internet is way better in Kansas City than Silicon Valley. Kansas City has actual competition in their marketplace and common people provably benefit.

- worksonmine 3y agoThere are politicians agitating against white people in the US. Doesn't get more systemic than that. Let's not even get into the think tanks, or the media explaining how whites becoming a minority is a good thing. And all this is okay, in the name of diversity. It's crazy, racism is racism and this rhetoric is only antagonizing. Nothing good will come of it. We have similar issues in my country but not to the extent I see in the US.
- frob 3y agoCould you please give an example of a major politician agitating against white people? To be specific, I do not mean someone pointing out that our system has been built to privlidge white people at the behest of white people, but a politician specifically agitating against white people. Because I can find endless pages of the head of the Republican party agitating against Mexicans (they're sending rapists), Latinos, Black people (shithole countries), Muslims (literally banned them after musing about how great it would be to kill them with bullets dipped in pig's blood), and Asians (Wuhan flu and China virus, over and over and over).

Folks like me who were Caucasian, of European descent for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority. Fewer than 50 percent of the people in America from then and on will be White European stock. That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength. And that's a very innocent one, but terrifying nonetheless. Imagine the same wording but about how a reduction in blacks would be a strength, all hell would break lose.
- klyrs 3y agoFailing to panic about the Great Replacement is racism now? Cuuuute.

- worksonmine 3y agoJudging people based on their color is the definition of racism.
- klyrs 3y agoDo you mean to say you're on board with the narrative that only democrats do that, and not republicans?
- worksonmine 3y agoHow did you get that impression? I didn't say anything to even imply that did I?

- bradley_taunt 3y agoIsn’t racism just racism? Racism is garbage regardless of “history” attached to it. No place for any of it. Maybe my view is over simplistic, but it seems the most obvious.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoIt's really not. Have you spent so much as 5 minute of reading to educate yourself on the topic?
- bradley_taunt 3y ago> reading to educate yourself on the topic Do you have sources that detail the different "tiers" of racism? Is that even a real thing based on anything besides subjective opinion? Don't all forms of racism fall under the core definition: "Discrimination or prejudice based on race." Shouldn't the end-game be to simply eradicate all forms of it? Instead of splitting hairs and starting infighting among those with that same goal?

- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoATC is notoriously white. Balancing it out isn't racism or inequitable. Same can be said for higher education.
- Dig1t 3y ago"balancing it out" is just a nice way to say you're discriminating against certain people because you prefer a different skin color. Equal opportunity employment laws explicitly outlaw this in no uncertain terms, and it's against the spirit of everything I was taught growing up about inclusion.
- nitwit005 3y agoLabeling problems "systemic" or not is kind of meaningless. You seem to implicitly agree the problem exists. Should we not address non-systemic problems?
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoThere will always be individual to individual interpersonal issues. Solving systematic issues are solvable. I.e. It's one thing to have a lazy engineer, it's another to have Boeing safety culture.
- nitwit005 3y ago"Solving systematic issues are solvable." Sorry, but I can't parse that one.
