Google will come to our rescue.

the cost for installing fiber optic connections is currently too expensive for google to make any significant splash. people are becoming more desperate for it though, so maybe google can pre-charge people for installations and then give them credits after everything is running.

i don't know if that's quite enough.. the major ISPs already have a strong connection with lobbyists in washington.. and probably with the FCC as well. google can end up winning the fight though, but they'd have to go up against comcast/time warner/verizon/att/cox.. that's a pretty big task there.

what did blockbuster need lobbied? and how strong was their connection? because i know one thing: ISPs have been lubing politicians for a long, long time now. and it's not just one, but 5 or more big ISPs that can throw tons of money at them. they have so much sway that they are now removing net neutrality laws, which gives them even more power.

They will destroy themselves. As alternative options grow we don't need the dinosaurs anymore. 

That would be spectacular. We have never had an accurate election in the US.

are you talking about the ISP companies? if this net neutrality issue continues, i really hope google, netflix, amazon, and other companies that rely on the internet band together to expand a fiber optic network that would destroy them.

I agree, some governments will be hit harder than others. The ones that will suffer greatly are those that wager half their nation's economy on a military industrial complex, since they are entirely dependent on never-ending inflation to feed the monster. These types of violence-prone governments will be the hardest hit by the forced obsolescence of their fiat scrip. Places like Sweden will survive the transition relatively unscathed.
