Should we feel sorry for California state employees?
A few of them, maybe, but mostly nah.
Like Bernie saying: I will be calling for public ownership of the telephone company.
Bernie is stuck on stupid......he thinks the telephone company is still AT&T.
REALITY CHECK There are literally 1,500 telephone companies phone companies serving our nation...... and thats not counting the copious number of data center providers, metro cable providers, and networks built within networks.
The pre-1984 ATT broke up into Regional Bells, such as Pac Bell, Bell South, Bell Atlantic, etc. And since then, weve seen the rise of Verizon, T-Mobile USA, etc.
Bernie hasnt the foggiest idea how this web of companies cooperate together to deliver the best networks of any nation with high speed internet and WiFi access almost everywhere. (hat tip poconopundit)
We need to have an entrance exam for Presidential candidates ....and for all public offices.
So much for Progress.
