    Twitter is about the only way he has of getting the word out to people that want to hear it. The News media sure as hell won't tell it straight.

    Yes it does. You have it in cities. Just like you have train stations.

    Yeah. That was my point... lots of people have access to fiber now, and more will in the next few years.
    Will every rural household ever have fiber? Maybe not - it would require something like the Rural Electrification Act since it isn't profitable to do it.
    And I'm not sure we city dwellers will lobby for a Rural Fiber Act, given what dicks rural people have been ever since we paid for their electricity.

    :tongue: Oh I have no expectation that you cite dudes would ever see the need to do shit in the other 99% of the country.
    The point is, we do not need it. The communication coverage is now near to great without landlines. The over the air communication is now better in most places.

    I am switching to it entirely, at about the same price, nearly 4 times faster, and it is where ever I need it. Only two places on the entire west coast last spring where I was not in contact, off Big Sur, and Cape Falcon on the North Oregon coast. I did not travel up through WA then but I will this year. I expect even the North WA coast is
    communicating, I know the Indians up there have towers. We shall see. Even if I find dead places, I expect the yagi to correct the weakness.

    Nope. Land lines just like rail, are history. Only a democrat would be stuck in history that they have not studied.

    Says the guy who complains here frequently about his lack of service.

    I don't think you can get anything over the air that is 4 times faster than fiber. Maybe 4 times faster than what you had before, I'd believe that.

    Theres a point to that, every person ran anything has an agenda, the news isnt any different. Trump though feels a need to tweet about everything, and so much of it is clearly just to cause more division, and to push HIS agenda. I am not Blaming Trump that the divide exists, its existed for as long as history has been written down, I am blaming him for constantly running his mouth and twitter account to make the divide as wide as he can.

    You could be correct.
    I don't mind his tweets. None have offended me. I even appreciate him being the first non Democrat President not to eat shit dished up by the liberals and Progressives.
    More so in the case of the socialist. For years, they have been taking the bullshit quietly. That was offensive to me.

    >>>What complaint? No Blazer games? Fuck it. The Blazers threw us under the bus maybe 10 years ago. I dealt with it.

    The conversation was about fiber. Not 'whatever shitty service MarAzul was stuck with because he lives in the boondocks'.

    Im ok with someone having staunchly different beliefs even if they conflict with my own. I see the role of a leader as someone who should be slow to speak and quick to listen. He doesnt need to “eat up” socialist logic, or become more liberal. In some ways politically I understand why people voted for him over Hillary. However he to me is the antithesis of a good leader, in almost everyway. Loud, Obnoxious, seeks conflict when there isnt any, looks out for himself above the ones he is supposed to lead, I could go on...

    He’s a pathetic leader. Zero leadership skills. Can’t confuse leadership vs fear mongoring. Which he is excellent at. Make shit up and scare dummies? He’s the bestest.

    I guess we differ. To me, he is a leader much like Ronald Reagan. People did not like him either until after he was in history. I grew very tired of hearing people bitch about him also.

    You are confused. The discussion was about how difficult it is to run landlines of any kind all over the this nation.

    I went to El Paso last year, they totally need that wall there. Juarez (huge dangerous shithole) is so close to El Paso.

    El Paso itself was pretty safe. Like more upscale Mexicans and shit.

    That of course isn't true, because as you know, there are already landlines all over the nation. So that couldn't have been what we were discussing.

    Of course that is not true. High speed lines only service less than 1% of the Nation, the cities. That is why we are using the air waves now.

    And since when has trump ever told it straight? The guy has lied over 8,000 times since he has been in office. I doubt the past 10 presidents combined have come close to that number.

    Ok, what exactly are you talking about, anyway? You say landlines (which usually means copper phone lines) and I say that's everywhere, and you say no, you mean high speed lines, but you also say we aren't talking about fiber, so... what do you have in mind? Cable? That's certainly more than 1%.
