Bandwidth is finite though...

Well, your isp has routers and servers, who is gunna pay for their electricity and their value?

Fuck you, hippie

>Why do we have to pay for the phone calls? Its not a finite source like food and water, its a means of communication. Big business is ruining the planet.

>why do we have to pay for electricity

>why do we have to pay for drugs

You're paying for someone to install and maintain the cables/switches/routers/massive datacenters that make it all work. You could argue it should be paid for by gov/taxes, but still in that case you are paying for it (just like you DO pay for water, etc via taxes). And it would only get shittier if it was a gov utility, look how shitty it already is in the US with copmpanies basically be granted monopolies in certain areas. If only it would become even MORE of a free market so "evil big business" like new fibre providers can come in and BTFO of overpriced shitters like Comcast, Time Warner, etc.

Because it costs shittons of money to built and maintain infrastructure.

You're free to make your own Internet if you want.

Infrastructure is very expensive to maintain. There is also a lot of administration to be paid for.

A 900 pair Sprint cable can be cut by a careless underground utility contractor without anyone knowing. Sprint gets service outage calls and investigates, usually finding nothing but the cut cable. If they are lucky the contractor called for locates/permits and can be tracked down, but usually they find nothing or cannot collect for damages based on circumstantial evidence.

This happens every day to varying sized cables and a 900 pair cable cut under a busy intersection can cost > $500,000 dollars and months to repair.

The cost isn't offset to the customers directly but with no money flow no one is going to fix the problems.

>Why do we have to pay you a salary? Its not a finite source like food and water, its a means of making money for ourselves. Big business is ruining the planet.

Phone calls as well should be free for all people.
These are all valid questions. Tesla himself said that electricity should be free.
Youre an idiot...
Money has no real value any way and its only the powers that be that force it upon the rest of us. And yes, it is infinite. The govt can print as much money as they want but it will still be ultimately worthless.

Even if electricity could be created/generated for free, the infrastructure/equipment to generate it and deliver it to people still wouldn't be free.

The only thing you will cost money is paying people to build it, and to keep it maintained, which is irrelevant. The general population then wouldnt need to waste money on electricity bills.

Fact of the matter is that while money exists everything is going to cost money.

But I don't

i fucking love this reaction pic and i dont even know why.
saved

True, but if "money" didn't exist you'd just be paying with something else.

Exaclty.

You don't get anything for free. There is always going to be some form of exchange when you want something from someone else.

connect two computers with a serial cable for cheap and free networking.

god damn failure of a tripfag, use ethernet cable ffs.

who is that semen demon

Fuck off Bernie Sanders

>Tesla himself said that electricity should be free.

That makes sense because power plant materials, design, engineering, planning, and construction is free. Fuel mine or rig materials, design, engineering, planning, and construction is free. Transportation of fuel and the construction the vehicles or pipelines used for transport are free. Materials and construction of transmission lines and sub stations are free. Wiring up your house is free.

The entire global trade network of raw materials and energy is free.

Everything is free.

don't you have an election to lose right now bernie?

>maintenance is free
>fuel is free
>the initial cost of building out plants and energy grid isn't in the billions of dollars

Electricity for people would still be free.
also
>I don't understand how taxes work

>>why do we have to pay for drugs
Because you live in a country with a poor healthcare system, which you take as something to be proud about.

>I'm going to give everyone free energy by taxing them for it

We can help it. Our government tells us its the best healthcare system in the world

You pay for drugs too, specifically, you pay for everyone else's drugs.

Don't put words in my mouth just because you lost the argument.

dunno, interested aswell

Wow, a few pennies is such a huge price to pay.

>Even if electricity could be created/generated for free, the infrastructure/equipment to generate it and deliver it to people still wouldn't be free.
Take some fraction of the budget the state spends on military and spend it on providing free internet infrastructure for everybody instead.

The equipment that processes and operates your Internet, however, is VERY finite. The internet is not some well you just tap into with magic, retard. Go back to worshipping a filthy, egregious, morbidly obese pedophile.

The WHO says it's the 31st best

The benefits far outweigh that. A healthy population is more productive.

The only way you're going to have free internet is if tax payers paid for it, like they do with roads.

AND YOU DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE OF THE INTERNET

I've never gotten sick in my life, so yea those pennies add up.

Doesn't matter it would be worth it. And just because you haven't gotten sick YET doesn't mean you can't. Anything can happen, and when it does you will wish you had non-shitty healthcare.

And then one day you will, and you're fucked

Reminds me of that Bernie comic.
>Imma give you free money!
>Wow! But who's gonna pay for it?
>YOU!

There isn't much tax difference if you compare the UK to the US, and when you figure in the thousands that a health care can cost a year, Americans are fucked.

>implying we're not running out of bandwidth

>why do we have to pay for sex
>a wet pussy is not a finite resource

We should just seize the means of production man
The workers revolution shall be triumphant
Death to the bourgeois
Shoot the rich, class war now

What I don't understand is why the gov doesn't just print money instead of taxing people. Why does taxation even exist?
Why doesn't the gov just say "for every 4 dollars we print, 1 goes to government for expenses"

>Doesn't matter it would be worth it.
It probably wouldn't.
>wish you had non-shitty healthcare.
No, I have health insurance. It'd be cheap, too, if it wasn't for the government.

You can do what you want, all you Euros need to do is mind your own business.

BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T HAVE ANY VALUE YOU DUMB FUCKING KEK

>we are running out of bandwidth
Bet you bitches haven't heard about the dark fiber. We can almost double the bandwidth if we need to.

Uhh yes it would? Money is money, and the money that exists only has value by fiat.

>Why does taxation even exist?
Because you let it and because the government isn't supposed to control the economy.

You are constantly being cucked by your healthcare system.

We just want you to fucking admit it.

You'll be surprised but it does!

t. mexican intellectual

>It probably wouldn't
It's been proven to work in many non-American counties. But keep thinking that just because your govt says you don't need it.

*countries

It dilutes the fucking currency.

The purpose of this country is to enable businesses to rape consumers up the bum. Great if you own a business, not great if you're a rapee.

Watch "money as debt".

>You are constantly being cucked by your healthcare system.
But we aren't, it's the US government causing all these problems. This didn't happen before.
>It's been proven to work in many non-American counties
Great for them.
>But keep thinking that just because your govt says you don't need it.
But they do say that. Their interference is making it more expensive.

No

>australians
>happy

>replace rich with jews
>replace means of production with white women
>replace bourgeois with liberals
>you get Sup Forums
it all makes sense now

Everything in this country re healthcare is a goddamned mess. Our medical educational system is a huge racket that creates an artificial scarcity of doctors and saddles the overburdened few doctors who make it through with 100000s in debt, forcing them to suck Big Pharma cock to pay it off.

why do Sup Forums janitors get paid?

Fuck wrong map
That was the joke
Was referring to the whole day of rope gas the kikes race war now thing

>replace rich with white males
>replace means of production with privilege
>replace bourgeois with republicans
>you get /srs/

See, even Satan hates bankers.

Your health care system was never good.
The only way it's not getting better is because your population is stupid

Is that why you have a lunatic on a killing spree every week? You'd be a happier country if your mentally ill could have access to medicine.
You realise that most developed countries don't have actually crazy homeless people, right?

exactly,
horseshoe theory confirmed true once again

Also our population is far greater than European countries
I hope you eurofags are enjoying the rising crime rates thanks to the EU forcing ahmed's cock down your throat

>I hope you eurofags are enjoying the rising crime rates thanks to the EU forcing ahmed's cock down your throat
we could import ethiopia and still have lower death per capita than the US of A

fug you got me
if you remove spics and nigs from the statistics we would be about on par with the nips

>money that exists only has value by fiat.

But that value is not dictated by the government, it's dictated by the market. The more of a resource you pump into a market without increasing demand, the lower the value of that resource.

But the ones that give it away for free are like the blue haired one in your pic

We have "a lunatic killing spree every week" because the NWO desperately wants to disarm the white citizen population. You think what's "newsworthy" is decided at random?

It's an agenda. They're going to keep ignoring facts and calling us psychos until we "give up our guns." They really don't want to fight a mass insurgency when they couldn't even tackle Iraq and Afganistan without mass fuckups.

It's just history over again. Just remember, without arms, you're not a citizen, you're cattle. Your "consent" is meaningless unless you can back it up in the event of tyranny.

SHALL

NOT

Shall not be infringed?

>sleep with independent and strong womyn
>she regrets it and claims I raped her

bruh

Good job I always secretly film it.

For safety, not because I'm a pervert.

Agree with all of this. Gun control is an agenda that has much more to do with making citizens easier to control psychologically. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe. That's a pretext that morons believe.

You really think you could have an armed uprising in the US?

If the NWO was a thing, it would control the world economically rather than with a firefight.

You have no fucking power, you're delusional.

Anyway the problem of the killing sprees is healthcare, not guns. You have a gun problem which is more to do with gang activity.

Cost of infrastructure has fallen pretty dramatically in the past few years, actually. I think most ISPs only spend like 1.5% of revenue on it.

>9th district court
Yeah I heard about that
Will almost definitely be ruled unconstitutional
Article is behind a paywall btw

get a job kiddo

>screams in the distance

The alternative is probably a central international body, sounds like monopolisation and pay per GB

>niggers killing eachother
M-muh faulty healthcare
Also, in the event of a full blown uprising by citizens the government wouldn't stand a chance
You can't control millions of citizens with jets, tanks, and soldiers far outnumbered by armed citizens

That's a false equivalency though, as not a lot of ISPs are currently undergoing infrastructure improvements.

Yes you can.
You really think any middle class suburbanites aren't going to fold completely when faced with the prospect predator drones? "millions of citizens" aren't going to fight.

Your well armed militia will never happen. You have a better chance of the military spontaneously becoming pacifists.

In any case, none of this is going to happen. I get it, you want to have some kind of meaning, and you think having a weapon is a statement against authority, but it's nothing. A waste of energy. Pathetic.

>I bend over and take it at the slightest sign of conflict
>but you're the one who's pathetic

You can get free electricity when you get electronics that pull it out of thin air, no tesla towers needed

Money has value because everyone accepts it in exchange for goods and services

Would you rather not be able to buy shit because you don't have anything worth trading?

>i need food
>got any.....COOL SEASHELLS?
>uh no
>Then fucking starve, faggot.

IMO, the alternative is rational development of wireless networks to make things much cheaper.

It's not crazy homeless people, it's teenagers with mild autism. There's pretty much no way to "fix" them without turning them into worthless zombies, so their parents take them off the drugs every time.

There are only two solutions:
Fix society so autists aren't as triggered. Make all sexual deviancy acceptable, end copyright so free videogames forever, make atheism normal, and socially engineer a "cool" image for autists so they're the folks to be instead of inferior freaks that happen to be good at reciting the periodic table
and
Kill the autists, stallman first

>literally talking like a cartoon villain
Just lol
If the guns didn't matter, they wouldn't be so adamant about taking them.
Fighting any insurgency is a nightmare for the occupying force. It's seriously almost impossible.

People like this fail to realize that "the government" isn't some kind of all powerful organization and is really just made up of people. A significant portion of our military operations are supplied by private companies as well, also made up of people.

Who do you think is participating in the revolution, if not including the very people that comprise the government? Are loyal postal workers going to start operating tanks?

>inb4 "no one wants to take your guns"

Anyone who says this is either lying or stupid. A quick look into the history of senators like Dianne Feinstein is all you need.

the 1% will pay for IT ALLLLL.
