According to OpenSignal's latest State of LTE report, the average 4G download speed in the United States was 16.31 Mbps in Q4 2017. That's little more than a third of the speed that mobile device users in Singapore enjoy and ranks the U.S. at a disappointing 62nd place in the global ranking.

TAPPING? You POLITICIANS! Don't you realize that the END of the "Wash
Cycle" is a TREASURED MOMENT for most people?!

I'm certainly not.
Most other developed countries beat us by many important measures, except stuff like per-capita incarceration rates, infant mortality, military spending, gun murders -- no, strike that -- murders in general and a few other gems that make us the wonderful place we are. Sigh.
Here's just another example as to how:
1. Lack of infrastructure investment;
2. Short-term (long term doesn't need to be ten years here -- how about a year or two, instead of a quarter?) goals/thinking;
3. Lack of R&D investment;
4. Lack of meaningful competition (where are the R's on this one? They bray on and on about how they're the party of "free markets," but this gives the lie to that, doesn't it?);
5. Regulatory capture at the federal level;
6. Even more capture/corruption at the state and local levels
7. Screw the consumer/small business mentality;
8. No question marks, just *profit* for the megacorps and super-wealthy
the US is well on its way to looking just like some corrupt, third-world shit hole. It's just taking a long time as we chew through the equity previous generations created.
We should be building on that equity, not chewing through it for the benefit of large corporations and the financial services sector.
It makes me really sad.

Pretty much, except that the nuclear weapons have been an anachronism for a long time. The Powers that Be would never permit a thermonuclear circular firing squad.
The junta/cabal that is the Uniparty has won. It won in the 1950's when the Dulles clique neutered Eisenhower and the last of the New Dealers and Harding Republicans.
Populist clowns like Reagan, Nader, Trump, and Sanders are permitted for diversion and placation purposes only. The circus to go with the ever-smaller bread.
There is no republic in the US, merely the appearance of one.
