The fcc should be the ones cracking down on bots and open ai, and they could be working on that, or spam, or hackers, if they wanted to, and no one made them choose this use of resources. And yes, I know they don't have regulatory power over most of those things but they could be working to get it if they let fucking Ecuadorians buy the license they have been asking to buy for 15 years and been told no.

I followed the renovations of my last building which had routine ceiling cave ins and a very unsafe central staircase.

They did nothing structural.

They made a nice one bedroom into a terrible 2 bedroom with no living room, doubled the rent, and it has turned over every year since, most recently with a rent REDUCTION, meaning no one renews, meaning it's still unsafe.

These landlords are not doing what they claim they are doing.

Revenue to maintain infrastructure can come from taxing everyone, and from focusing on the people who use the infrastructure.

People who deface their plates to use things for free... I sense... would not be willing to make it up in taxes, would they?

They just want something for nothing.
