Madness? This is Texas!

Please let me leave…!

I’m more worried about global warming, personally.

I’m sure they’d be thrilled to look into my wanting better turn signals for my car and turn signals at all for my bike.

I was thrilled when my grocery trip this weekend only cost me $375 instead of $450 like it has been.

While I agree that very very few companies recognize emotional labor, if we’re all going to be forced to work insane hours and put forth an immense amount of effort while doing so, we should be fairly compensated for it. The vast majority of companies fail to realize that it’s not one or the other, but BOTH.

Free labor.

Yes, but normal websites might not. There’s no reason to if the amount of data being transferred is so small. Even large transfers, particularly streaming video providers, will have trouble feeding data to you at 1 Gbps simply because the network interface on the server might be saturated, the switch it’s connected to might have a slower CPU, the DNS server might be tossing your data into a queue or have a slower CPU itself. There are SO MANY hops between you and whatever data you’re trying to access, and every one of them influences the speed at which data will get to you. I’m not saying gigabit speeds aren’t worth paying for, but not everyone needs those speeds, especially if their ISP’s hardware isn’t up to snuff.

Your download speed being fast or slow doesn’t mean the servers hosting the data you’re accessing or the DNS servers between you and that server are going to feed you data at that speed.

As a Texan, I’ve been using a VPN for about a decade now, so this doesn’t affect me in the slightest.

EDIT: Please don’t take this to mean that I don’t believe this is, or should be, the norm. Our state government has overstepped its bounds many times over, and the quality of life in this state has done nothing but go downhill since the Repuglicunts came into power almost 30 years ago. I’ve done nothing but vote for anyone but the incumbent right-wing fascists since I was old enough to vote.

Nazis. Call them what they are. Nazis.

So, wait. He wants to secede, but also supports the US military spending money to sponsor an event in his state? Do you want help from the federal government or not, Gregg? Or did the tree hit more than your spine when it fell on you? Though I suppose both can be true…

Because someone in your government has decided that you have to.

Regardless of who wins that civil war, China or Russia will control the country afterwards. We, the people, lose regardless.
