Vote how you will it's your choice just don't vote just because someone is going to be the first....we tried that experiment with barry and even though he said what bush did with the national debt was "unpatriotic" he grew the debt more than all presidents combined including bush and has given us a bigger racial divide and made us much less safe.

Anyway be informed. This is a short clip talking about how mean spirited Hillary is behind closed doors. Not an opinion first hand account from the secret service who were bound to serve her as First Lady.

Not Hillary for president...Hillary for prison

@TallJames: Apologies, I use Alpha as short for Alphabet. Google is a subsidiary. The "network" is a shared resource, so while it may have started under Google, it will become a separate and shared resource, with credits back for tax/admin purposes, also in order to avoid some sort of anti-competitive claims in the future.

Why would you want to lay fiber? Of course I have no idea what markets you serve, but you should be able to either find dark fiber, laid during the tech bubble, and is now going for pennies on the dollar, or see if you can strike a deal with the local power companies. The latter have been laying fiber over their right of way, either aerially, or through underground vaults. You need to know whom to ask, because 99% of the people have no clue what their companies/municipalities have.

For example: I needed some fiber to an office building, so I called the telco. They assured me that they had none, and that it would cost a fortune to pull fiber for me. I finally made my way to the VP in charge of network infrastructure, and told him exactly where the fiber terminal was (25 yards from the office building, in an underground vault), and how to pull it to the building, using the exiting tunnel under the building, and into the data room.

The last time I produced a nationwide fiber footprint map, post bubble burst, more than 85% of it was dark. Most of the fiber laid out during the bubble is good enough quality, to be used to connect DWDM Rx/Tx equipment.

I Google this stuff, you know :-)

I am retired (sort of).

If you have something tangible to discuss about the President, then let's, otherwise, it's just rumors and innuendo. You may disagree with his political, fiscal and economic views, but it does not mean he's corrupt.
