And THIS is why you want a set of elected representatives with diverse political ideologies and priorities: somebody might independently come up with a good idea. What makes sense for business and the economy can make sense for the little guy too - they’re inextricably connected.

It will be interesting to see if the city can pull this off for less than the price of evil Comcast's Internet Essentials, which provides broadband internet to low income families for $10 a month.

Anything that hurts Comcast's Internet monopoly is a good thing.

Bezos earns a BillionPlus before lunchtime.
Whilst eating our Lunch(es).

His fullfillingment center workers?
Not quite so Much.

@7: Bernie Sanders doesn't. He didn't show up to join a bi-partisan effort to block it. Commies don't care about privacy, as they want shared misery for everyone.

@10: BINGO! Take a bow.

Read it and weep, Kristy.

Our place out at Coulee has a blazing fast connection provided by the PUD. Of course this being Washington State, you can't just call the PUD and have them hook you up, you have to go with a third party provider. But still, it's only fifty bucks a month.

It’s rad that we get to pretend like we’ve done everything we can to help the homeless situation. Can’t be fixed folks we’ve given doing nothing a shot so it’s time to give up.

@11 Don’t forget to mention that Bezos built Amazon all by himself with absolutely no help from the private sector. I haven’t actually checked but I assume that’s the case done all rich people are self made with absolutely no help from the public sector.

Inequity and Bezos aside, Amazon has created opportunities for a lot more than its employees. But pouting about rich people is fun I guess.

"Gigabit internet, otherwise known as internet that's 50 times faster than what us peasants in Seattle have"

lol, what?

@20: Yes, that is sad. Also sad is Charles Mudede and others calling for a shorter work week.

Shout out our gigabit alternatives! See if they're available in your building, and if they are not, find out why!

Atlas Networks, local independent ISP growing rapidly.

Webpass, a no bullshit fees gigabit service now owned by Google.

Biker dear, I know that you ingested a lot of those delicious lead paint chips in your youth, while your mother drank her way through her daily six pack, but yet again we have a situation where you are commenting on things that you don't understand. May I suggest that you turn off your AM radio and give up on the internet? It's obvious that you lack the intellectual capacity to navigate it.
