Because it a a white elephant that allows governments to take longer to pivot to renewables allowing fossil fuel to continue for much longer than needed. It's playing out in Australia. Australia is never going nuclear. But it allows governments to waste time debating and considering. Even when every forecasting body that isn't tied to the nuclear lobby laughs them out of the room.

Let me finish that sentence for you

...at places and areas that don't bow down to Trump.

Access. The Rolodex. The ability to not have a conscious. Those are what are valued.

Americans rejected the middle. They want someone who says they will take a stand against the status quo. The argument isn't any more complex than that.

The Obama vote (change you can believe in) and Trump vote are similar in their popular message at the root of it.

When people lose hope in a system the person who promises to break it down wins. Does not matter that it's a charlatan or a champion.

Yup look at Pol Pot and Cambodia. Or the Spanish Inquisition.

No they won't miss Biden . They will keep blaming the immigrants and vote Trump.

The beatings will continue until the promises of Trump are achieved.... They will cheer for the beatings and say the only reason it isn't working because there aren't more beatings m

That is simply not true. What you get is standards. Standards bodies exist. In this most recent debacle all that is needed is compatible bands and VoLTE to make it compatible.

If these two exist, then it works.

How do you think spec sheets work? Engineers rely on data a d there are industry standards. That is the whole point of documentation. Even little motors and resistors have documentation that is relied on. You really think this is not documented accurately?

You really think that Optus is intensely checking and verify every device they sell? They rely on the documentation! They are a retailer of phones.

The way that Aussies think is always interesting. I find a lot of people bend over backwards to justify the reasons for companies. Instead of standing up for customers these arguments seem to look like a shining example of "out of scope" decisions. I have seen in too many corporate meetings and decision makers.

Read the article. Optus is not bothering checking. Just closing stuff off.
