Small ISPs... you need to dig a bit deeper. There are two overriding/overarching ISP infrastructures in the United States: Fiber Optic and Cable. Over 90 percent of the US cable infrastructure is owned by no more than two corporations: Time Warner and Comcast. Fiber Infrastructure almost exclusively belongs to AT&T…

What, a town? Like a government? Really?

vasshu - news flash. I work for the government. Which is why I find your argument incredibly silly.

I’m sorry, but your example fails. Oftentimes, regulation is needed. Cutting regulation has created near monopolies by corporations, and allowed them to raise prices as they choose on products that are necessary to exist. Nestle is looking into taking control of water supplies. Turing raised the prices on drugs…

Alcohol is still dependent on individual sales. A company who controls information has a completely different customer, as I mentioned in my comment. They also are not dependent on any single government to have financial stability. As a matter of fact I would assume it would be shadier governments and companies in…

you think huge businesses care about their customers?

Um, I’m going to have to completely and utterly disagree with you. You are under the false assumption that a company that has access to this kind of control is beholden to individuals’ spending power. Their customer isn’t going to be you and I. Their customer is going to be government organizations, financial…

That applies just as much to voting, unfortunately. Apathy (not “voter apathy”, but just general apathy) is going to continue to become a problem as the issues become more and more complex. As it is, stuff like this requires prior knowledge or taking the time out to read up in order to form an informed opinion about…

Counterpoint: Shitty NuTrek and Transformer movies still get made. Not buying the marketing isn’t enough.

“Corporations are beholden to the laws of supply and demand.”

As Mr. Husker and I like to say...will it be House 1, House 2, House 3, or divorce?

Robert Carlock, who wrote for 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, has the pen, which gives me hope.

My cousin was on House Hunters this season (you guys probably all hated her, she bought a really nice condo in Chicago).While I know the formula I dont’ think it ruined it for me at all! I still like seeing the housing options and what they like and don’t like about them. I still like tweeting about how god-awful the…

My first question was, HE HAS FANS?? WTF.

Christmas came early! Remember friends, every time a Martin Shkreli is arrested an angel gets its wings...an AIDS patient gets their meds...overpriced musical memorabilia isn’t sold to a douchebag.

I would watch this were there any intimations of JK’s inner life.

She looks like Jackie Kennedy if Jackie was a dead ringer for Natalie Portman. 1/5 stars would not Portman again.

When i got married my husband scrawled (it was virtually illegible) thank you notes to his family members. I assumed that he mailed them. Around a year later, while doing serious cleaning, I found them crammed under the couch. That was his level of responsibility. We aren't married anymore.
