The first part you're correct about, so no argument there. The second part sounds like a "private, free market" solution, which has had, at best, limited results. What's to prevent an ISP from simply prohibiting customer

The Supreme Court recognized on multiple occasions that we have a right to privacy. In this specific instance, protecting privacy comes at no cost to an ISP, as they simply do not collect or sell your data. They literally have to do nothing

Well, I was going to respond to this, but it's an account that less than an hour old. Seems the trolls are picking up on tactics from Reddit.

I've had exactly one experience with an open office space. That was enough to turn me off from any company that has it. It was loud and noisy. When I had a review, my supervisor told me that people didn't find me approachable be

2 things. One of the most corrupt administrations in history took control of the Oval Office, combined with one of the most ideological Congress. If it even looks like a regulation, it will be suspect. No thought, no debate. Whatever makes

A free-market will not solve health care issues. When it comes to shopping around for a new car, a computer, or a lawyer, a free market is fine. When you need to be rushed to the hospital for a heart attack or you need to undergo cancer tr

The short answer? We make it so, and it doesn't help that for-profit insurance companies are capable of using large sums of money to lobby Congress. The United States has for years attempted to make a "free-market" solution

Fear. Put yourself in the shoes of a 50-year-old coal miner who's had the same job since he was age 18. You lose your job, and the town in which you live is starting to decline because the major source of money is gone. You have no
