We should hold companies like AT&T accountable for the billions they have given to investors that was supposed to supply internet to rural areas for a start.

And why are you attacking me? I vote for candidates who I think will help. I am a foster parent so I have opened my home to the children displaced. Sure I could do more. But some don’t do anything. At all.

Your anecdotes don't mean much to me other than that you can take action on things you care about. Which is good.

I simply dislike vacuous "someone, somewhere should do something" statements. Be they from you or anyone else.

And yes, we should hold at&t and other who were granted monopoly power and government mandates accountable for their failures. No disagreement

Indeed. People should stop doing that.

Cheeky, but respectable.
