Worcester Mass. City Council Votes To Keep Comcast From Entering the Area

First time accepted submitter _AustinPowell writes Comcast wants a cable television license in Worcester, Massachusetts. In response, the City Council voted 8-3 to urge Worcester's city manager to let the company's license request die. The deadline for the decision is Wednesday, but the manager is not bound by the vote of the Council. "It's a terrible company," City Councilor Gary Rosen said. "In my opinion, they should not be welcome in this city. Comcast is a wolf in wolf's clothing; it's that bad."

Stalin sent less people (as percentage of total population) to workercamp/prison in the worst days than USA does today.
One could argue that the laws were bad of course....

"Bootlicking shill" and "libertarian" are almost indistinguishable where economic matters involving corporations are concerned.
