| Such a tiny, piddling outlook on the world. You can do everything with water with rain-barrels and buckets. As others have said, you can do power with candles, bike generators, and wood fire. Is that a realistic solution in a modern society? Hell no. I struggle to see how anyone honestly can lie to themselves that it is somehow absurd to label something a "utility" just because the technology has advanced beyond cave-man level. Google deserves their status as a utility - monopolies, effective or otherwise, we have consistently found to be actively harmful. Furthermore, if a company wants to be a "be-all-everything technological solution", it is actively attempting to usurp the role of government. And when that govt is un-elected, that's a despotic oligarchy, at best. We may well be forced to storm Google HQ and put every Google CEO's head on the chopping block if we want to preserve our liberty. Or, y'know, maybe just support getting them regulated instead, bit more of a humane solution, dontcha think? |
