RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Technology and Inventions)
Superfast internet is a great boon... if it could only reach everyone that it needed. I live now in Netherlands and there is cheap and blazing fast internet available... and in addition, REAL competition and consumer protection, things that I think are probably lacking a little bit over there in USA!
However, when I go back to Australia, I'm horrified at the cost and speed of what they have to deal with there. It really is a choke on the economy and everything in general! However, that said, Australia (and the USA) are slightly larger countries than Netherlands, and so there are physical and economic problems of scale...
Yes and USA is a for profit in all things country. Sometimes this can be bad for us but it does also to lead to some people creating really amazing companies.
It can definitely lead to that, but I sometimes wonder if you guys have the balance right! Also, although, many proclaim loudly that it is a free market economy, it really isn't!
