This is exactly why an entirely encrypted internet would be desirable. ISP's won't be able to track or throttle since they won't know who's connecting to what.

Taking him out would remove an easy political scapegoat. Better to keep him as an enemy to sabor rattle against.

Those at the top play games, those at the bottom die for it. It's all a way to strengthen the loyalty of voters.

You aren't taking into account the degradation sea water has on infrastructure. The pounding waves and salt would most certainly make the buildings unsafe.

Legalization and regulation would help move the market away from operations like this to sustainable farmland operations

There is no "alternative". Government can be approached from a million different ways. To say it's black or white (capitalism vs communism) is completely self-serving and offers no real insight into the fundamental complexity of human civilization.

Use a service that respects that then. Lyft.

If an advertiser doesn't want to reach viewers on the largest and most concentrated video market on Earth then that's their own internal problem they need to deal with.

This is the brave new world. The free-market of information is beginning to show its teeth for better or worse and those who shy away from it will lose market share.

  Bus driving is an addictive Zen like experience
The movie "Paterson" addresses this exact situation. A poet who drives a bus. Very good movie I recommend anyone interested in this topic to watch it.

Tax avoidance on capital gains since it can be added to your IRA. Also it would allow bitcoin to be purchased from any trading station in the US rather than a website you have to sign-up for

This type of "web" would run perfectly over encrypted networks as well since it would carry much less data. It would solve the problem of cluttered/fluffy web and insecure/easily-surveilled communications.

Being realistic though, this would only serve highly functional computer users seeking simplicity and privacy.

A lot of internet users view "beautiful" webpages as a display of trustworthiness and importance. And that's a very important trait if you are a business.

   the lack of education on the part of consumers
You realize if drugs were legal and regulated people wouldn't need to seek out desperate and risky online orders to satisfy their addiction?

When weed was legalized in Oregon, I immediately knew exactly what strain/THC%/CBD% I was buying. This was not available on the black market.

Education and security come from acceptance and regulation.

I figured this comment carried enough satire to not need explanation. He was using an offensive tone to carry over the implicated apathy that city planning has on the impoverished.
