When you realize that you are in the process of digging yourself into a hole, there are 2 approaches to consider.
1) STOP DIGGING This is known as the "sensible" approach, and is recommended.
2) DIG HARDER, DIG FASTER, DIG DEEPER This is known as the "Carreon" approach, and we request that you refrain from using it as we are nearly out of popcorn.
... are we saying the Federal COMMUNICATIONS commission doesn't know how internet COMMUNICATIONS works? Or how it is tracked? Or who watches the COMMUNICATIONS traffic?
Ironic or Moronic... not sure which is in play here..
Simple math here... 322 million US Citizens - 21 million work for federal/state/local government; therefore 301 million NSLs have been or will be issued as soon as they can be.
As many government agencies and programs are reliant on extra income from trust funds and major investments, it is not in their best interest to foster competition which might reduce profits thereby reducing stock gains and dividends. Keep profits up, keep "free money" flowing into their hidden agenda projects.
And it is only the proletariat who are getting screwed here, so it doesn't matter to those in power. Any way of getting more money out of us without it looking like a new tax...
