Their point was those systems like hdmi, bits of usb-c etc put the complexity is very expensive very short cables. Meanwhile a 10g port on my home router will run over copper for far longer. Not that I’m a fan given the power use, fibre is

The vast majority of ip4 only networks are enterprise, that’s where I hear the complaints from. The people who say autoconf (dhcp etc) is bad and that dns is bad.

Gotta keep the Ponzi scheme of the stock market inflated. Without people pouring their earnings into it in the form of 401ks, the record highs can’t be guaranteed - whole thing will collapse.

But honest day’s work income has an additional payroll tax which totals about 20% marginal for the majority of people (plot about 60/40 between employer and employee). Far better to be paid in shares.

> in many cases this can't be paid without selling the asset. Ok. And? Why should someone get $5m for doing bugger all. If they were paid $5m for cleaning a car they would lose a fortune in tax.

HS2 spent years and billions trying to keep the moaners in the chilterns happy. The number of tunnels is insane. The M40 didn’t have this problem. Yes transportation goes without saying. Places like Telford and Milton Keynes and the likes.
