The guys with the guns don't seem to think that there's a problem, and the ones who think there's a problem are too chickenshit to get up and fight. Meanwhile, the corporate owners of the Republicratic Party (and therefore the government) are laughing their asses off at both sides.
This shouldn't work. It shouldn't be this easy to cow an entire population.
It is once you realize that it hasn't happened all at once. As you mentioned, you've been aware of it going on for generations. It's been going on for quite a while, and they've been working on consolidating and perfecting their methods. In my opinion, the polls aren't where we are able to stop them now, as you can infer from my sig.
This tells me that this is a typical campaign promise which will be quickly forgotten once the D's and R's have maintained their duopoly. Can't have any of them outsiders messing things up now, can we?
Remember that. It doesn't matter if the "Democrats" or "Republicans" are in charge, they have not represented the average American citizen for a long while.
You're correct. Taxis had nothing to do with it, since the idea of the subway predates the automobile, and both are targeted toward different user groups.
At least, that's what I think your pro-Uber anarcho-capitalist rant seems to say,
... "the other guy did it worse", or "they're all at it, so why punish [my guy]".
What about "they're all at it, so we should punish ALL OF THEM?"
I think that the real problem is that the "Democrats" and "Republicans" are fully invested in maintaining their duopoly, and the overwhelming majority are playing along.
They just need to know who's giving them their money.
At his point, that's the people who run the telco and cable companies.
What, you still think that the higher-ups in the Federal Government actually care about We The People? Have you been hiding under a rock for the last several Presidential administrations?

This is only "Team Red" and "Team Blue" arguing in public, desperately trying to maintain the illusion of two separate political parties.
When all is said and done, nothing will change.
Don't vote
Don't bitch about how things are.
I prefer to turn it around. If I vote and the same group of amoral corporate whores gets in, they can reply "Well, YOU voted for this!"
Voting = plausible deniability for corrupt politicians.
What exactly are we supposed to do about this?

I'm still waiting until I can have it answer to "Hey Wiretap...."

I feel like every administration only likes it when the laws work for them, and want to ignore laws that are inconvenient for them.

...join the Democratic party.
And here I am unable to give you the "Funny" mod you so richly deserve. Please accept this in lieu thereof.
Lawrence Lessig, like the rest of us, is merely a citizen and therefore has the same amount of influence as you or me.
Which is to say, none whatsoever.
And here I am unable to give you the "Funny" mod you so richly deserve...
Remember that. It doesn't matter if the "Democrats" or "Republicans" are in charge, they have not represented the average American citizen for a long while.
Next question.
It's not as if you or I can actually DO anything about it.
A new company called "Oxford Interpretive" announces their opening. The founders and officers have familiar names.
I'm going to hold out for 640K...that should be enough for anybody.
You're correct. Taxis had nothing to do with it, since the idea of the subway predates the automobile, and both are targeted toward different user groups.
At least, that's what I think your pro-Uber anarcho-capitalist rant seems to say,
Congress critter: "What steps are Facebook taking to ensure this doesn't happen again?"
Zuckerberg: "Here's $50,000 to each Committee member's reelection campaign."
You're missing a few zeroes there.
It depends...how much is Zuckerberg paying them?
... "the other guy did it worse", or "they're all at it, so why punish [my guy]".

So when Tumblr says that
"...it will keep a public record of usernames linked to the Internet Research Agency or other state-sponsored disinformation efforts",
does that include those used by the FBI, NSA, and/or CIA, or is it just those evil foreigners?
Autopilot is intended for use only with a fully attentive driver
Then why the hell are they calling it Autopilot?
They figure they can impeach all the republicans and establish single party rule politburo. Anything else is unacceptable.
And this is different from the "Republicans" desire for single-party rule how?
Unless the house is swept clean next year, don't expect much to change.
Can I have some of whatever it is you're smoking?
They just need to know who's giving them their money.
