I do too, but the sooner we realize this is impossible, the sooner we can all get over it and turn the responsibilities over to third party private organizations.
- rtpg 12y agoI think telecoms have proven that this hypothesis doesn't hold up very well. Try unsubscribing from cable.
- recursive 12y agoWith cable, at least it's possible to never subscribe in the first place. That doesn't work with governments.
- rtpg 12y agodon't own a car/house/etc. and you can greatly reduce your interaction surface with government. At least in France the only interaction I have with the gov't is voting, getting a letter to pay my habitation taxes, and having to renew my passport. If you think it's unreasonable to not have a car, it might be unreasonable to not have an internet connection too...
- recursive 12y agoI think it's more reasonable to not have a car than it is to not have internet, but that's probably a minority view. In any case, I have internet access, but no cable subscription.
- icelancer 12y agoI like to complain about Comcast as much as anyone else, but it's an order of magnitude worse at the DMV/DOL.
