Well, when you look at how capitalism works in this country, it makes sense that everything we do would suck. Because people get rewarded for cutting corners, and they make more money. They they use that money to fortify their position with lobbying and government contracts. And then they stop innovating because they have a nice, cushy defensible position. It's humiliating when one of my European friends come to visit. They pop open their phone and try to find a wifi signal... but they can't. Because the city doesn't provide wifi. So we go to a Starbucks. But they are in bed with ATT, or whoever, so you have to have an account and pay for their internet. And meanwhile the dude has been trying to check one thing in one app for, like, 45 minutes, but we can't get a reliable wifi signal anywhere... It's like I want to just go find a FAX machine and tell them to send a fax instead.... So embarrassing.
