    That's interesting that you feel that way.  Years ago, I worked for ARRIS, who makes the combo-modem that Comcast supplies to it's users.  I was told by ARRIS engineers that those Comcast combo-modems are complete garbage, and to stay away from them (I was using that same modem at that time).  So I switched over to my own modem and router, and while I can't recall what my speeds were prior to the switch, they were significantly better afterwards.

    The AARIS modem I just ditched was terrible and has a bad overheating issue.  That would periodically cause outages.

    Just tested my internet speed from Orbi via their app, 364 download, 30.61 up

    Those routers feel like old tech. I used to have problems until I got Comcast and their modem is also the router. Eventually stop renting and getting my own.

    Pretty flawless now. I reboot once in awhile but I’d ditch that netgear router IMO

    Upgrading to a gigabit modem and a mesh system router improved my speeds from 30-40 to 300 mbps.

    Because realistically Trump isn’t in favor of more black people who have committed even a very small crime on the street. What has he ever said or done that would suggest he would want fewer people locked up? 

    He doesn’t. I’ll be shocked if the outcome isn’t privatizing prisons. That’s really on message for him. Locking up less black and brown people would be a 180

    I don't believe in for profit prisons either. I think the bigger issue is the lobbying efforts that allow them. For profit prisons are just a problem created from a larger problem. 

    Our sentencing when it comes to non-violent criminal is entirely broken. "

    Fixed your post so it actually has meaning.

    I agree with you entirely.  Letting the money decide policy across the board needs to stop, but its only getting worse.  I do not suspect it will ever be reformed regardless of who is in office.  There is too much pull towards getting paid instead of doing the right thing.

    As someone who I can tell is very much competitive personally and at least partly capitalistic, it's surprising how you cockily support so many pro-government policies. I know our country is trying to wipe away our own history but man could our people use a lesson on how handing the government more and more power turns out for the people. 

    Neither capitalism nor federalism are perfect.  Prisons should not be run as a for profit organization.  Thats a complete failure in policy.  Marijuana should not be illegal.  

    Besides those opinions, our legal system is fairly broken.  We are putting people away for long periods of time for non violent offenses while turning violent criminals back onto the streets.  There is no standard.  Changing that would be nice reform.  Mr.Profit himself wont go that direction though.

  6. Imprisoning less black men and loosening regulations on marijuana arent exactly in his platform.  My guess is out of these meetings we will hear about how we need privatization of the prison system.  

     

    But if somehow he goes against everything hes ever said and shown, sure, Ill give him his due.  Ill drive to washington to congratulate him myself.

    Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that ‘ABC does not tolerate comments like those’ made by Roseanne Barr,” Trump tweeted, referring to Disney chief Iger. “Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?”

     

    If Trump now threatens ABC/Disney, tries to block a merger or acquisition down the line...that’s where it gets murkier.  What happens when Iger doesn’t respond to Trump’s request, setting off another billionaire pissing contest like he has had with Jeff Bezos already?   You’re also jumping into freedom of the press potentially being infringed upon.

    When was an employee of ABC racist towards Trump?

    It's difficult on purpose.  They reallyyyy don't want anyone not renting their stuff.

    I finally figured that out, but luckily there was a woman who was incredibly helpful.  She literally told me the registration thing fails a bunch of times and usually people dont keep trying, they just transfer you.

    I can't even understand Barr's ramblings. Kudos to ABC for killing the show. You can't go spouting untruths especially ones so divisive/nasty/classless/repugnant.

    She's deep down the Reddit/4chan conspiracy rabbit hole.  None of it ever makes sense no matter who is spouting the nonsense.
