This topic isn't even good trolling.

It's not trolling and it is sad that you have such little faith in the idea that maybe we should stop "voting for the lesser of two evils" every time.

It is trolling. I bet you know what "First Past the Post" is.

Sorry but if a candidate gets enough votes it literally won't matter what sort of system is in place that you think is going to prevent that candidate from assuming office. And I'm not talking about just presidential candidates.

It's been a two party race for 100+ years. How much proof do you need troll?

Is this finding supposed to surprise anyone?

Millionaires and billionaires from Hollywood and silicon valley with fucktons of homeless and illegals, of course there's a massive gap from top to bottom.

The real trick is to live here for awhile and accumulate wealth, and then just move to another part of the country where that money is worth double or triple. I make 65k a year or so in a job that would pay me half of that in 95% of the country. Yeah cost of living is high, but I still save more money in terms of raw numbers here than I would anywhere else.


Pardon me, but how the hell does one US dollar equal double or triple that same US dollar in the same country?

Supply and Demand.


Supply and demand does not increase the value of a dollar. It increases the price of a shitty apartment near a ski town.

Money has a value based on what people agree it's worth relative to what you purchase with it.

Supply and Demand is the basic principal explaining that.

That shitty apartment is agreed to be worth more because of it's demand due to it's location in a low supply area.

There's one bright side to this.

California spending millions and still badly ******* up with their increasing poverty and homelessness makes Hawaii's situation look so much better in comparison.

I doubt the homeless in Hawaii are people from Hawaii having a ruff time.

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140613/14373027574/fcc-begins-investigating-comcast-verizon-making-netflix-pay-to-avoid-congestion.shtml

At its peak, Netflix takes up 50% of the internet traffic in the U.S. They were paying Comcast and Verizon to remove throttling. There is no one that benefited more than Netflix when net neutrality was passed in 2014.

Net neutrality was a thing long before Netflix existed

Certainly not in our universe. Stop spreading fake news.

Net Neutrality was mainly created to benefit this company, but they've been slowly raising the prices on their subscribers over the years like they're frogs in a pot of water under low heat.

Can you blame them while net neutrality is in limbo and the company is in debt? Both YouTube and Netflix can't afford a bandwidth ransom.


That's the revenue model they chose. Google have plenty of money to pay for faster bandwidth. Netflix is in the business of growing faster and crave out a huge market share while burning through massive amount of money and their investors encourage it. If Netflix pay ISPs, it'll only be about $5-$10 million a year. That's something they can handle, but don't want to.

Netflix will continue to raise prices with or without net neutrality. I predict that by 2020, it'll be around $20 per month.

YouTube has been treading water for Google since they bought it. A ransom would put at nonprofitable. Sure Google can afford it but why would they want to spend money when it barely ever paid for itself.

Don't pull random numbers out of your ass.
