Okay -- my Dad is still in the ICU. I'm still depressed and basically convinced that life is little more than a hopeless, series of existence until one day we get lucky and die.
But I'll get over it.
The way I always do. By ranting about stupid politicians.
The latest thing to piss me off is the Michigan Broadband Development Authority. Turns out that when you live in some of Michigan's more remote areas, there's is a limited number of providers for broadband access.
Some people in northern Oakland County, for example, only have standard dial-up and satelitte based broadband access. The standard DSL and cable providers aren't interested in them because the number of potential users per mile of cable is too low to make it economically viable.
Those poor bastards.
They made a decision to live in an area where there's not a lot of Wi-Fi access to the internet. And now they have to actually live with the consequences of their decision.
What is this country coming to?
People shouldn't have to live with the consequences of a decision.
The government must quickly come to their rescue. Spend millions of dollars to rescue them from reason. Create an agency (the Michigan Broadband Develpment Authority) to make all of this possible.
And raise my taxes to pay for it all.
Yes, that makes perfect sense.
Or at least it does to the morons in Lansing. To everyone else, it's just a large number of tax dollars that I won't get back any time soon.
