Reports continue to pour in documenting many cases where US mobile networks are increasingly controlled by folks other than those that happen to have their names printed on the papers (archived). Employees seem to be happy to take outside money and instructions while sheer organizational bulk makes resolving "Whose line is it anyway?" a very difficult question to answer.
The lulziest part being that when I hinted at all this, back in the days of "oh, government will stop Bitcoin" consensus… "nobody noticed", or some shit. And now "nobody remembers", or something.
Meanwhile Bitcoin corrupts, and while the powerless do what they do, the powerful do what they must. It's all very "inexplicable" and etcetera.
Well, that was then, but the consensus of the consensus making sort is always trapped in "current year" as bovinity tends to lead them towards.
