HOW did Trump accomplish this if he’s so stupid?

I don't know. How did Obama do it?

So the Trump campaign and Uber-libertarian superhero Peter Theil are pushing a nationalized wireless system that’s distributed by one company?

By JOHN HENDEL and MARGARET HARDING MCGILL 03/01/2019 05:37 PM EPresident Donald Trump's reelection team is backing a controversial plan to give the government a role in managing America's next-generation 5G wireless networks — bucking the free market consensus view of his own administration and sparking wireless industry fears of nationalization.

The plan — embraced by Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale and adviser Newt Gingrich — would involve the government taking 5G airwaves and designing a system to allow for sharing them on a wholesale basis with wireless providers. The idea is also being pushed by a politically connected wireless company backed by venture capitalist Peter Thiel that could stand to benefit.

Isn’t this a possible answer to Clitz’s pet peeve?

Sort of in a cure being worse than the disease way maybe

I don't know. How did Obama do it?

Because he was articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.

So obviously there is more than one path...

Trump has maintained growth in the face of QE by deregulating...

https://www.investors.com/politics/comm ... cord-rate/

And rightly so. Take the fucking economic handcuffs off...

Sure, it works to accelerate growth because nobody is watching and nobody is accountable
Kinda like the Home Loan Industry back in 2008

Just because the article loves the Trump deregulation trend
doesn't mean there are no consequences that come along with deregulation, does it..?

Presently the consequences are unforeseen and might never materialize
who knows...?

Could be Housing Market 2008
could be best thing ever... who knows

Neither of these things mean “nobody is watching”.

I didn’t say you did

Doesn’t this fix the majority of issues you have around Comcast basically owning (and controlling) the network that we paid for?

Aren’t the best internets in countries where the network is state owned/controlled? Like Estonia and South Korea?

Net Neutrality simply means that selectively restricting bandwidth is breaking the law
So ISP broadband providers can't pick and choose who gets full pipe
which in turn means they can't destroy their competitors - as they have already been caught doing

The Government doesn't need to own it or run it...
it just needs to provide legislation that protects it



anything more than that is asking too much from our broken corrupt system

Deregulation works where there is competitive balance
But the Broadband ISP's have bribed their way into protected monopolies

It's not that complicated

Some regulation is good. Overregulation is bad. Regulation for regulation’s sake (see: more gun control laws) is idiotic.

See, it’s not that nuanced.

I agree. Which is good which is bad? In black and white/non nuanced form please...

Latest Jobs Report:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/20 ... 098383002/

Hiring slowed sharply in February as employers added just 20,000 jobs amid harsh winter weather and a weakening U.S. and global economy.
That's the fewest job gains since September 2017 when employment was curtailed by major hurricanes.

Job gains for December and January were revised up by a total 12,000. December's was upgraded from 222,000 to 227,000, and January's from 304,000 to 311,000.

The economy grew 2.9 percent last year, the second strongest showing of the nearly 10-year-old expansion

Wage growth hits 10-year high
Average hourly earnings rose 11 cents to $27.66, pushing up the annual gain from 3.2 percent to 3.4 percent, highest since April 2009.

And according to the CNBC Economist, the U-6 dropped by the biggest margin in history.

From a White House source, the House Oversight Committee has obtained documents related to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's security clearances that the Trump administration refused to provide, according to a senior Democratic aide involved in handling the documents.

Why it matters: The Trump administration's problems with leaks will now benefit Congress, making it harder for the White House to withhold information from Democratic investigators.

The twist: But the House Oversight Committee in early February had already obtained the leaked documents that detail the entire process, from the spring of 2017 to the spring of 2018, on how both Kushner and Trump were ultimately granted their security clearances.
The senior Democratic aide who was involved in handling the documents told Axios that two staffers on the Oversight Committee said the documents are "part of the puzzle that we would be asking for" from the White House, "so we appreciate having this upfront."
The House Oversight Committee, via deputy communications director Aryele Bradford, declined to comment.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
The documents leaked to the Oversight Committee provide detailed information on the timeline for how Kushner's and Trump's security clearances were approved and who the people were involved in processing and the final decision.

One document, obtained by Axios, provides some details about why Kushner's security clearance was changed to "interim" in September 2017: "Per conversation with WH counsel the clearance was changed to interim Top Secret until we can confirm that the DOJ or someone else actually granted a final clearance. This action was taken out of an abundance of caution because the background investigation has not been completed."
Feb. 23, 2018: "Clearance downgraded to Interim Secret per COS direction" — then-chief of staff John Kelly.
