Why not get super rich W. Buffett to put passenger trains back on the BNSF routes?

For the same reason that I’m opposed to Highway and Interstate privatization.
I don’t believe that the private sector should be permitted to have monopolistic control of public infrastructure.

That was then...

[And I like trains - I just don’t want to be made to ride them.]

the achilles heel of the great de-platforming is that it's intended to de-monetize conservative activities, diminishing the reach of conservative marketing, and it's organized across tech sectors, with payment processors, ad agencies, and network services colluding to prevent unwanted competitors from entering the market.

ANTI-TRUST IS ASLEEP AT THE F*ING WHEEL!!!

No, it was easy for me to feel sympathy for Alex Jones, because I understood exactly where things were headed.

No rules violated? Sure, no 'official' rules. How about the rules of fairness? Discrimination is not just about segregation via race or religion or ethnicity or gender. It's also about ideology and ways of thinking.

Jack first tried this in earnest in October of 2015, when he became CEO of Twitter. Then again about 10 months later after Trump was the confirmed GOP nominee. Both times were attempts to appease Google as the primary suitor.

Jack wants Google to buy Twitter -- he gets the golden parachute and leaves the censorship to Google.

Both times Google rejected the bride, not because the price was too high but because they don't want the jackpot ie, shutting down the President.

If someone inside Twitter turned off @realDonaldTrump, WOW, Jack would be in front of a Senate select committee the next morning...

I posted a link to the 1946 educational film on Democracy and tolerance for different viewpoints and how private press can also censor information and be despotic.

The problem with how we (the country) views the private press, is that, they are viewed as not being government, therefore, immune from the rules of freedom of the press and of free speech and freedom of religion. But, in fact, the press has become a de-facto branch of the government, where it's now virtually a mouthpiece of the government and actually sets policies which governments follow. Separation of church and state was/is a good idea. We need to insure that separation of the press from government is also a rule or law. Freedom of the press is in the bill of rights, but, in actual practice, it isn't.

Fastest intentional company collapses in world history. Amazing so many of these freaks are willing to fall on their swords for their false gods. Well, let the sword make its cut.
