Ed brings up a great point about one of the (many) issues with internet in SantaFe
One Targs in the room is that the US's way of doing internet and all the copper lines is like running CoAx, Drunk Dwarfs, Tunnels, and Eathernet cords everywhere, then trying to use bowling balls to to push a Garbage Scouge. Where as from what I gather china, egypt and other parts of the middle east and Germany, took one look at copper and skipped it. Hell Japan's phone infrastructure despite being (sorfof) the same age range as America, they all but said ef that, and France at one time and the most advanced Fiber and Wireless system in the world. SantaFe failed in that no one stopped to say: Cheep or Free phone overhaull to gigabite speed wireless and fiber? Then no wonder no sane skunkworks wants get 10 feet close. (one) of the problemss with a overly dead yough coulture, a dysfuntional economy: Jobs. Fun, Joy. For example Cody as far as I can tell hangs with his GF and a few friends and the WedTech lunch croud wich are basically geeks. Seems to have taken to Ingress and hiking. But from what I can tell hasn't taken to just hanging downtown, though possibly to level his peekachu, to ding level 30 with his PokeMan. That's somewhat fine but realy? ah rather Eh Downtown, Combine that with a terrible or just out right broken job system, Voke Rehab is broken and basically a mix dilusional and "well, what'lll go wrong next"" I think an a few alians with realy big ears or pointy ears might be able explain to me What on in the hell is wrong here? Comare that to Pike Market Seattle (for example) people come they mingle there's a mix of free or cheep eats and bad ass FREE Wifi, Internet, and a few places to sample free tea as much as you want. go to the pear and gnosh there's How the heck can a city bigger than santa fe that's at most a meter above sea level git this shit right? (sort of) End rant.
