What ever happened to the IDEA, that the Citizens can do most anything themselves...
Not depend on the Fed or State.. If A town or city wanted to do something, they had the Rights to do it..
And I hope you understand that Every Major advancement in the USA was paid for by???(drum roll please) YOU, your father, your grandfather...and mothers..
The USA has backed so many companies it makes China look Stingy even a Scrooge.
I bet you dont remember when Electric, gas, water, and telephone were controlled by the states.. The Utility boards did it all, and there were no Stocks to be sold, no profits to be found or hidden.
What things to cops have access to that could/would make things safer? FOR both parties?
How about Entering and not breaking.. Pick the locks and Enter Quietly..
RIFLES?? WTF needs a Rifle in a house?? get a 410 pistol..if you want to cover the area..
whether it's a gamer, journalist, online critic, celebrity, activist, or just someone's whose personal info has ended up on the wrong website....
Wow, Im a child molester and get my name on a list, as Iv never gone to court, yet.. There is a hidden room in the basement. and its not easy to see or find. Even if the parents complain, they wont find anything..
(PS my home is 20x20 and there is no basement, or attic)
Niche channels.?
Is the cable corp paying for them, or is the Niche Channel Paying them??
WHO CARES?? as cable pays 99% of channels Pennies to host the channel...
Or am I wrong.. Do the Channels Pay Cable..that is something no one has answered yet.
They post the Prices, but Who pays Who??
I thought it was pretty good, and simple to understand..even for you folks.
Considering the gov. is handing out military goods for police protections, Where in the F' are the shields, Masks and helmets..
Why shoot people when we Paid for all that equipment and they only wear Chest Armour.
as to Investigative Journalism, those on TV Arnt. They are anchor, and announcers. They are instant news, and you cant hear the investigation until someone figures out WTF happened. And even then its to late for most to listen to the corrections.
And we know FOSTA is BS. And mostly because the idiot person trying to pass this, has no solution except 'What?'..Arrest people? Who do you arrest? The bill is a waste of time if you dont install something to control or regulate it. and the Cops dont have the Mentality to do it. Making laws with no solution or monitoring, or regulating isnt a good way to make laws.
for the States to install their OWN versions of the backbone, Fiber, Cellphone system, Internet...?
the only really stupid thing I see here, tends to be that they are creating a mess, and hoping the Gov takes it, and fixes all the old crap, and improves it, then Gives it back to them.
The Old telephone system was Very limited. and I think those running it now, tend to get tired of re-building the system as tech changes, about every 10-20 years.
Scrap it all and start over.
Make it better, Make it all integrated, and Make it work.
But dont give it back to the corps..
USE it to get the State and fed taxes..
Sprint gets 26 billion,,
But who pays the taxes??
And is this considered a loss/expenditure to T-mobile?? which would probably mean they dont get top pay a tax.
I love that we have tons of things to protect cops, but dont allow them to DUCK AND COVER..
Love those great vest's, stiff and wearing, and padded all to hell, and hot to wear. they cant even move enough to get out of the way of a bullet.
It seems Alabama has a problem with 6 cops killed in 2019. Can any one figure out why, Someone has distilled into them, to Stand and shoot...Dont duck. Whats happened to Riot shields and Protective wear...Run in with just a vest, into a situation you dont know, and expect to get shot, but dont take something that could HELP ALLOT and you may not need to shoot back?
Balanced news..is all they got. If they did any evaluation and investigation, they wouldnt be the one in front of the camera. There are FEW, if any investigative reporters, that FIND the facts before they publish it.
FOSTA..
Expectations that those involved in creating laws and regulations, dont understand and arnt smart enough to figure out HOW to fix it either..
Just tell the cops to arrest everyone. Or let the Gov/state take over raising your kids..which Still demands a solution on How to do it.
It seems the movie and music industry is spreading around the world, for some odd idea that they can Claim all the movie and music thay can get their hands on.
With this idea, and NOT the Concept that every nation has laws and rules, they wish to bypass all of it, and just take anyone to court, Without International copyrights as they will have them all. And lots of this, is Basically promises to the companies that Make the music and movies, that they can MAKE THEM MORE MONEY..(how, if they spend it all on lawyers).
Its going to get convoluted, based on 1 simple thing, Who is in charge of what area, and What law/rules are they using. (Their Own) All of a sudden, you have representatives, around the world that have been told(basically) that they should protect the music and such around them, anyway/anytime/anyhow, that they can. (dont think hard on that, just think how convoluted its getting)
The big agency is teaching the Other smaller nations Music/movie industry, that IF they join up then they dont need to go thru the international Copyright system, nor the courts to get things done, and WHO will take those persons to court when it is contested?? Dont have to, its going to be So complicated, to contact anyone to do anything, its just a Needle in a haystack, who did what to Whom, in the back yard with the cow... and why is she pregnant.
I love the idea that Companies Pay to advert to you, then You pay the cable company to advert to you, then we get charged extra for some odd reason, then they can Never explain the charges on the bills we get, that add, This/that/the other taxes, that no one knows who or what they came from..
from City/state/fed/franchise fee's/repair fee's/insurance fee, then they get to write-off paying a 3rd party to do customer service, and another for billing, then pay another group for Maintenance.. Everything is a write-off, even if those other business are part of the main corp in any way.. really sounds like the RIAA/MPAA which controls everything down the line, how to get paid for everything, and pay nothing in the end. Love tax loopholes..
For local television stations, advertisers can expect to pay a minimum of $5 per 1,000 viewers for a 30-second commercial. Based on data provided by Adage, a 30-second spot broadcast nationally averages around $115,000 in 2019. The average cost placements for 30-second Super Bowl ads can go for upward of $5.25 million.
LOCAL
Los Angeles $34.75
New York City $27.16
Cleveland $21.11
Detroit $18.36
Kansas City $14.36
60 sec Commercial.
if you want to show your commercial in Los Angeles and your local station tells you that 500,000 people will see your ad, then your cost equation will be (500,000 / 1,000) x 34.75. This equals a total ad cost of $17,375.
the rest of this, trying to understand and get prices for National is abit complicated..
Verizon recently sent out an Advert with IGN.. It was Amazing, $80 for 800/800mbps FIOS..
So I clicked thru, which Will cost them money.
I entered my Zip code and NOPE, not here..(didnt think so)
I then talked to the online Chat about locations, and found its EAST COAST ONLY...(well thanks allot, <25% of the nation and you have an advert for 100%), So I wonder the site and the only map I see it the Cellphone one.. Then I find what I wanted, FIOS COVERAGE.. ONLY the FAR NE section.. https://broadbandnow.com/Verizon-Fios
THATS IT.??
They send a National advert through IGN(gaming site and sales) to the Whole nation. And its <1% oif the nation?
All those click thru's are going to cost money, but its a covered expenditure..Tax deductible. and they get it for a national advert. Not just a Small local advert.
And I would not put it passed theses corps to have a little Chip in their modems to do something stupid. Its always amazed me that they can Count the number of people Who watch certain TV programs. The Internet is kinda easy to monitor Who is watching what. But those Neilson (sp) reports generally didnt cover the nation, and mostly went to people Who would document everything they watched. They hated me,as I set the TV to PBS, all day long. The Net has a much better selection, even if you dont count YT.
And that is the First few seconds, and if its NOT a cop...
I think Crooks that break in Kill less people..
SMART Crooks tend to know whats in the house before entering..
They also know when you are there, asleep, or going to the mall for a few hours..
Why do they know more then the cops??
Diligence..
How do you tell Who lives in a house??
BEFORE you knock on the door?
1) they know the person being arrested.
2) good chance they have been there before.
3) look up owner of the property, and ASK..
4) if they have been there before, Look up other records of WHO was/should be in the house..
Then, Why in helllll are there more then a FEW men there for a Non-lethal arrest?
Why Feds??
Why DHS??
Where is DEA?? at the very most..
Why is it that regular people can see whats going to happen, but those creating the Bill/Law/reg/Assumption.
CANT?
I really thought we were hiring people that were SUPPOSED to be smarter then the common man/woman/child.
The Concept is fine, but even the old laws protected many, and still did not give those that needed protecting ANY PROTECTION.
How Many of you know about the group that helps battered wives?? Its not even part of the Gov. Its run privately. Because the laws to Protect Spouses JUST ISNT WORKING, and there are NO PROTECTIONS. NO way out, unless they Run away.
