    You should try and find people who actually MAKE money in this environment and learn something from them instead.

    Good advice. However, because you have not disclosed your salary or net worth I must disregard everything you say.

    This is true. All this talk of government bloat is complete bullshit because government cannot, does not, and IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO exist. Paying taxes is completely voluntary but also imaginary and also GOVERNMENT THEFT WITH A GUN TO YOUR HEAD.

    Roman, you dankish ill-breeding dewberry. Neither you nor anyone else have any responsibility to be honest to your employees or any other entity for that matter.

    I had Comcast internet installed last week. Instead of paying $8/mo for a modem I went down to Goodwill and bought a used modem for $4. When I called to activate it I was warned that the modem was EOL and would stop working in "a month or two". I think it'll be a whole lot longer than that, but it only has to last more than two weeks for it to have been a good investment.

    No person should be forced to associate with anybody they do not like, no person should be forced to provide access to his or her private property to anybody they do not like, this includes individuals and their businesses, the only exception is the government.

    False, idiot. Government MUST NOT and IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO hold property. Any "public property" should be called what it really is, stolen property. Go drown in a privately owned vat of sulfuric acid you communist whore.

    Every time you open your mouth I have an exquisite orgasm, which I suppose is technically theft. I'd like to compensate you but I am unsure what the fair market value is for an orgasm.

    Exclusivity agreements from local governments come about because it would be foolish to have multiple competing companies digging up the roads to lay their own lines, creating constant traffic issues and massive, unnecessary overhead costs.

    The solution to this is to have only private roads. If a privately owned utility company wants to run cables in the right-of-way or a privately owned road company then the two entities can negotiate the appropriate compensation. If they authorize too many of these projects and congestion increases as a result then drivers who use the road can negotiate with another road company that has faster roads more to their liking. Of course if only one road company services their property then they will need to sell their property and buy some elsewhere that is serviced by another road company. Hopefully they weren't stupid when they bought their property and have a contract with the road company to allow them to remove their belongings using the road company's road. If the road company tries to deny access to the moving trucks then they can simply seek compensation in a privately owned court. Or they can avoid all that by using helicopters to move their stuff, although first they will have to negotiate with the owners of the airspace between their old home and their new one.
