    Labor has natural trade barriers due to geography and the lack of teleportation. Bridging these barriers may or may not be a good thing, but let's not pretend there is a freely flowing supply of workers even without government interference.
    He is also not asking for trade barriers, he is asking for reasonable regulations that need to exist in a free market.

    With Uverse, you have to have the 2wire router. I have my own router behind it and disabled the wireless. I have been thinking of setting up a dedicated wifi that does not go to the internet but redirects to a local "file-sharing" server. maybe an html page to explain things or download and upload via ftp or sftp (maybe an html upload option).
    Thought it might be a nice experiment.

    Why do we want cell phone companies to handle our payment transactions? Oh yeah, they want us to let them. I can't believe some people are stupid enough to support it.

    I hire consultants, I don't hire consultants who don't have some expertise in the subject they are consulting me on. I don't hire people to hire people to build me a solution. Of course a new contract might entail hiring of new people, but they should be joining an existing team.

    Sounds like you need to work on your project management skills. You have promised a product in a specific timeline when you have no ability to create this product. Meanwhile, you probably underbid someone who could have actually provided said product.

    Nice straw man argument, nobody is arguing corporations should not be able to own property.

    I am troubled that so many companies are so tightly aligned with their management while being disconnected from their true owners or shareholders, for example facebook.
