Yep. Airwaves regulation is based on scarcity - which does not actually exist. The airwaves can be split infinitely, as a practical measure, the technology is there to do it. What happens is the regulators are captured by the companies they regulate since, after all, government has no expertise in anything but lying and pandering...and murdering... So it draws its regulators from industry. Which quickly becomes a revolving door, allowing connected insiders to get rich. Airwaves are same as insurance - the insurance companies support the campaigns of the politicians, their guys end up writing the laws. Forcing people to buy full-figured policies they don't want or need. Leftism is not just the minority position it is the extreme-minority position. It cannot survive unrigged games, unrigged debates, honest markets. It survives entirely out of the pocketbooks of its enemies - AND MUST. It has no other option but cheating if it wants to win. This importance of this insight cannot be overstated.
