I try not to do too many “Yeah, what he said” posts. But Keith Olbermann put it so beautifully last night I can’t resist.
You can follow this link to the video and transcript, or just watch the embedded video below….

Stay tuned . . . .

You can read all these stories for yourself in the linked complaints in the @dailydot piece below.
No one deserves to lose access to critical utilities like broadband, esp. during a pandemic. #NoShutoffs https://www.dailydot.com/debug/fcc-coronavirus-pledge-complaints/
Tribes are being devastated by the coronavirus pandemic and understandably asked for a six month extension to apply for broadband licenses. @AjitPaiFCC only gave them an extra 30 days. That’s an insult.
The abysmal @FCC has granted a mere 30 day extension to allow input from Tribal communities - hit hard by COVID - applying for 2.5G connectivity. Virtually *every* party has asked for substantially more time. Pointless and disgraceful. @HaroldFeld

We live in interesting times.
The best journalists of our days are two comedians, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and one sportscaster, Keith Olbermann.
“We live in interesting times.” Isn’t that a Chinese Curse???
Olbermann was AWESOME.
