Of course not, silly. There's no marginal cost to serve the next customer. All the routers, switches, HFC equipment, headends, STBs, servers, building space, power, space conditioning, service trucks, help desk personnel, techs, etc are all free.

I pay Comcast $60 a month to use their internet service, five times more than I was paying a decade ago. At this price, they should be able to find a way to pay for the infrastructure.

I realize I am being rhetorical here, but remember that union tech and his/her little playmates are also getting 5 times what they were, plus all the other little add ons.

“They” raise taxes so your wife has to work to pay them so they can get more revenue and you in turn have to hire baby sitter(s) so you can work which (these days) generates more tax revenue...

I remember years back (early 70’s or so) when they first proposed taxing the ‘silent community’ - lawn mowers, baby sitters, and the other little handyman type jobs that slipped through the cracks.

Believed the FIRST step was ‘offering’ a tax credit if you admitted to using these services.
My wife started to jump all over it and I advised her not to as once ‘they’ found out who your baby sitter was, they would go after her for taxes and as a result the rates would go up.

Hell, she didn’t listen but I was on the right track - look at today, baby sitters are ‘out’ but govt authorized/controlled ‘day care centers’ are alive and well.

Plus using the tax money to construct on job site day care centers, forcing people to work so they could afford the centers plus ...... a very, very vicious cycle with no end, other than to stop and start over again.

Like the saying was/is
If you think health care is expensive now, just wait till it is FREE.
