How to tell you are running a cartel, step #1:
The cartel says the CIA shouldnt investigate cocaine prices.
Cocaine prices have made little to no change even though recessions, my friend tells me.
Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven’t changed since the 1990s… just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.
My three year old often says “Dad don’t look!” When he does that, I know for a fact he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing.
In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.
Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?
I pay $500, lol
W. H. A. T.
Sorry, it’s so hard to believe, you have to explain how.
I live very rural and my only other option was 500kbps on a good day internet which doesn’t work for my software engineering job. So I ended up having to make tons of calls and beg and plead and I finally found a fiber provider who would trench a line directly to my house for me.
Problem is…I’m paying for it for 10 years now.
But it was worth it.

Pretty sure my parents pay even more for 50 MBit. Live in Germany too.
That’s Romania. But I live in the US now.
50€ for 1000/1000 here. My employer covers it.
46€ for the same here.
30€ if I can do with 1000/100 instead, which most people could.
49€ here, but yeah about 1/10 of the price of some US states is insane.
I pay Comcast $130 for 1000/35
Just Internet, no bundles.
If any business tells the government that it should not look to closely into it’s practices, then you know that there is something that needs to be brought to the light and corrected.
I agree, the FCC shouldn’t waste time investigating broadband prices. Just nationalize them. And the rest of infrastructure.
Criminal doesn’t want to be investigated.
Pay no attention to the piles of money behind the curtain!
According to Marx, the capitalist will always dismiss all other concerns than their own gain, and will lie and murder for their ill-gotten gains.
The 21st century teems of examples
This week’s Behind the Bastards (about the capture of Christianity by capitalism) tells about the _exact same thing in the 1930s and 1940s (parallel with the rise of fascism). The same give us all the money push was happening tgen as now, only now the campaign is bigger.
Fuck these guys. They’re no better than nineteenth century railroad tycoons
Don’t try that Jedi shit on me it doesn’t work.
I’ve been a big fan of my internet provider for not playing these games, until this year. Them: “ you owe more every month”, me: “you’re raising prices?”, them: “no, prices remain the same and you can continue on your existing plan, but you need to pay more”
shocking
🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 Not biased at all. I have a $20 price lock on spectrum ATM, but as soon as that ends I’m going to say goodbye and get 5G because I’m not paying $50 for fixed internet they have a monopoly in the area I’ve moved to.
