Fair in the sense OP is using it is in the moral sense, not the economic sense. Paying someone tens of millions of dollars when the lowest paid workers in that company make ten bucks an hour may be "fair" in the economic sense, in

It seems to me that to do something like this, you'd need the people who stand to benefit most financially to regulate against their own financial interests. The public interest should come first, but it rarely seems to.

> democrats moved far left I have to wonder if you know what far left means outside of the US. Because even the furthest left of the Democratic party is barely left-leaning in Europe and most other democracies.

I do wish they provided more information on the network infrastructure. As far as I know they must be an MVNO, but they don't say who they use.

I think they must be wrong, since I have it on good evidence from my deeply-religious and conspiracy-minded family that the shadow groups are _US based_. But seriously, I assume all these types of people have this sort of localized, my-vers

The internet is a waste of an invention if we can use it to not commute, eliminate all the attendant ills of commuting, spend all day in an office, etc., but we don't use it that way because middle managers can't have butts in

I think the point about most people not choosing anonymity at all is a bit misleading. It assumes that these people are making a reason, informed choice, and going ahead and living the way they do. I don't think that's the case. M
