You know what? I don't care. Electric companies are regulated the same way, and we all have the freedom to use our electrical devices how we want.

And you say "price controls" like that's a bad thing. It's not. Honestly, I wouldn't even be opposed to the federal government just nationalizing every ISP and carrier in the country.

Venezuela has done a fantastic job with price controls and nationalizing industry. Have you heard about how wonderful things are in that country?

By this line of reasoning, any single bankrupt company is proof that all private companies are doomed to failure.

And some countries have nationalized healthcare, and have you heard how well they did it?

You do understand that Venezuela has had a mix of problems, do you not? And that the US is no where near going down that same road. At most, the US could hope for a Nordic Model of socialism, and probably be better off for it.
