    The question isn't can science address the mechanisms of climate, of course it can.

    The question is will people who have their incomes and careers bound up in advocating for particular results actually do science

    You should try actually giving directly. Expecting the state to do things for you is isolating.

    Remember that many of us are in support of people with crippling illnesses getting the help they need and are happy to pay taxes toward those ends.

    As a point of pride I have never taken a government handout or public charity. Instead of taxes perhaps you might think about giving to one of the many community organizations that are much more efficient at helping those in need.

    Thanks, I have a crippling illness but you just lifted my spirits. It's always important to remember there are others worse off.

    Thatâ(TM)s all I want to know.

    Blame ? Congratulate. What a great way to cut the budget than eliminating 45 people who come in and get a fee for being opinionated.

    I suspect most of the butt hurt in this thread, is from too many people that would like to be paid for having badly formed opinions.

    The number of texts sent in the US has gone up over the years as the price has gone down to an average of $0.10 per text sent and received. To convince more customers to buy unlimited text messaging plans, some major cellphone providers have increased the price to send and receive text messages from $.15 to $.20 per message.

    Not only are you wrong your source doesn't even say what you think it does.

    Try again. You had people paying a couple hundred bucks a month for text. When they could get number portability and bundled fixed rate text plans they dropped carriers like hot potatoes.

    Remember when you used to pay by the character for text messaging ?

    The cost to the provider was so near zero as to be laughable The major carriers were making so much money off of it though they didn't want to compete on it. That changed as soon as you got a few betrayals. The same is true now. As long as the only way to get good service is a wire into your home that's controlled by a monopoly or duopoly forget about it.

    That's when your wireless carrier offers you a "protection" plan for your connection

    How many wireless carrier choices do you have at the moment ? That only works if all your choices including wired are operating the same way.

    Yeah more like market choice is market choice. 5g will provide many more choices that will make it much harder to leverage deliberately crippling other services.
