Re: they lie? and we're suprised because?
said by karlmarx  :Comcast is a rip-off by any measure. Compare the 65.00 comcraptic access charges vs the 29.00 100mb full duplex charges overseas. I think you will find the $29 for 100mb systems are subsidised. Infrastructure is not free, somebody paid for or invested money to put it up.
said by karlmarx :Comcast rapes the customer BECAUSE THEY CAN. A corporation is not a living, breathing person. A corporation is a mindless construct of pure evil, whose sole purpose is to take from the poor, and give to the rich. You give the corporations too much credit. They are generally truly mindless single purpose entities. But they are not inherently evil, they just act in an evil manner in a competitive environment. They are not out to take from the poor and give to the rich, they would willingly take from the rich an poor alike. Of course if the poor owned the corporation, they would become the rich through the profits of the corporation. In the US you are supposed to be able to get your slice of the pie by buying your part of the corporations in the stock market.

Yeah, but I think they've got things like health care, eating their next meal and such on their mind first, so investing in the stock market isn't exactly a luxury for most for most of them. Like the old saying goes...

Vicious circle...  Just got to remember, how many low income people have credit ratings that give them oppurtunity to get loans for investments, etc. ?
