Maggie's Farm

I didn't know Subway regarded McDonalds as their main competitor. Does Subway sell hamburgers?. I thought the growth of Jimmy John's (which sells sandwiches ) was their main new competitor. Maybe Subway's problem is that they have misidentified their main competitor?

Zach, I don't want to be forced to pay for the infinitely free bandwidth used by bandwidth pigs Facebook, Google, Twitter, Netflix, the porn industry, movie streaming, song streaming, etc. Why should I have to pay for fungible, unlimited gigabytes used by bandwidth hogs? Let Facebook, Netflix, video/song streamers pay for what they use. Let consumers decide, rather than subsidizing these streaming band-guzzling giants getting a free ride.

"Net neutrality" is code for saying that I have to pay the exact same amount per month for personal drinking water, that an industrial carwash business, and large farm irrigation system pay for an enormously larger amount water.

Zach, wrong !. Facebook, netflix, music/video streamers get effectively "free" bandwidth at my expense and the expense of otehrs who aren't free bsndwidth hogd.

How does your threat of content lrestriction differ from Google restricting search content it doesn't like, facebook, twitter, et al banning or restricting content and people they don't like, which is happening now?

The ISPs will be made public utilities, to prevent banning and other censorship, which is happening now.

Zsch, you are full of BD. Your credibility is zero. If I have to pay the same amount for a small amount of bandwidth and don't use Facebook or twitter which violate free speech by blocking people and entities they don't like, but someone else uses giant bandwidth to use facebook, pays the same. You support censdorship and subsidies to facebook.

If I don't like my isp, I'll get another one, or lobby congress to make them a public utility, which is coming.

sorry BD, a typo. Zach is full of BS. They have a new assignment to defend internet censorship of ideas and groups they don't like.

I'll spell it out for you ZSch. Gore is a silly, self-aggrandizing goose. Super-privileged, tobacco-farming, hypoctite son of a wealthy congresscritter. Bad husband to a good woman. Morals and ego of Ted Kennedy. We dodged a bullet when he was defeated. Me Me Me, look at me!!!! I voted for a satellite!!! I predicted the end of the ice caps in 2014 !!! I'm a genius !!!

JMO1 - the limerick is a non-PC, but admirable art form.

There once was a G-man named Strzok
who judged Clinton's election a lock
but his lust for some tail
could put him in jail
and his bureau's honor in hock.


I stayed away from his name Peter, other _ock words, and his young literal "underling's" name, because this is a nice family website.

I'm not very good at limericks, but its fun.

Maybe G-man Strzok actually believed russian whores peed in a hotel room on a drunk Trump, because this happens to his own SENIOR counterterrorism agents?

Strock’s agents train drinking with whores
To confirm Steele dossier chores
And when they tell Strozk
They lost Rolex and Glock,
He understands sexual lures.

From Instapundit: (pretty bold for mere exotic dancers to knowingly dupe senior FBI who surely said how important they were - more likely these women were trained Russian agents?):

"In July, Robert Manson, a unit chief in the F.B.I.’s international terrorism section, had his Glock .40-caliber handgun, a $6,000 Rolex watch and $60 in cash stolen from his room at the Westin hotel in Charlotte, N.C., according to a police report. . .

Mr. Manson and other senior agents were in Charlotte for training, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the episode. The agents later told the police that they had been drinking with women who said they were exotic dancers, according to a second person who was briefed on the investigation but, like the first, was not authorized to discuss it publicly.

“Investigators determined that the victim, Robert Manson, met a woman in the hotel bar the prior night and took her back to his hotel room,” Robert Tufano, a spokesman for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, said in a statement.

At 6:30 the next morning, police officers for the department were called to the hotel. Mr. Manson was incapacitated because of alcohol, according to the police report, which he did not file himself...."

Palestinian statelet viability

Should the US borrow $billions from our grandchildren to increase our national debt, in order to pay palestinians who hate us, and pay terrorists? US gives about $700 million a year to Palestinians directly, and and through the UN, as the largest donor. See also https://fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RS22967.pdf Why can't Palestinian refugees go to arab countries? Why do they have to go to the US and Europe?

Borrowing to increase the federal deficit is an easy “yes” for crooked congresscritters and freeloading US citizens without children and without morals or concern for their country after they die (they always argue “surely ‘we’ as a country can do this good thing…”).

Margaret Thatcher thought that government spenders would “run out of other people’s money”. She didn’t recognize that crooked congresscritter greed could steal from what they think is an infinite number of future people who can’t vote them out of office.
