    Yet I don't see you offering any of the blame to McConnell which means you have no interest in being honest, just in trying to tie Pai's decisions to Obama which is entirely indigenous. You already know this which is why everyone can safely disregard your statement as propaganda.

  2. I never understood the misapplication of logic on that argument.
    ,br> Scientists getting government grants in climate change are certainly not getting rich, unlike those who are on the fossil fuel payrolls.
    ,br> Look at Wei-Hock “Willie” Soon, he was running around claiming it was changes in solar radiation while taking 1.2 million from fossil-fuel companies. During that same time. Soon failed to disclose any the financial conflicts of interests to publishers of his scientific studies, in many cases this violated the journals' ethics guidelines.

    So where are these "engineers" that say we have to kill off a large percentage of the world's population?

    You make the claim, you provide the supporting data. That's how it works man, If you can't then you are literally just making shit up.

  4. "The Green New Deal was full of all manner of handouts and other ideological bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with humanity being better stewards of the earth."

    That is quite a claim, any way you can back it up becasue I don;t see mentions of any giveaways here:

    Probably more thinking about the fact that Amarillo has about a 200k population with the majority having only a high school education or some college experience. But the vast majority does not have a degree of any sort.

    Not really the place to move your high tech company to when you need a highly educated workforce.

    It's not that we think your dumb, it's just applying even the lightest common sense would have shown you why this was such an idiotic suggestion.

    Considering I still use my retail 2010 license I can understand why they would prefer to sell the subscription service.

  17. Because robo-calls are illegal, and if you could identify the companies responsible you or law enforcement could go after them. Having the ability to change your number makes it exponentially harder to track down the origin of the call.

  18. >The problem is that most of those robo-calls are not US based, so nothing you do here in the US really effects the problem.

    I disagree, go after the companies that provide the VOIP to POTS interface. They know who their customers are, they know if they have been abusing the system. If you want access to our phone system, you have to follow the rules, Move enforcement to the places it can work and oversee it with an iron fist. If you are acting as a gateway, you have a responsibility.
