#1 Just from the headline, I knew what this was.

And it's "full rein", not "full reign" dammit!

FULL... REIN!!

Sorry, pet peeve.

#2 Truly, charger, and bless you for saying so. It’s to do with horses and letting them run, giving them free rein.

#4 Cannot talk to AT&T real person. Store sez they are pushing wireless bundles, "no longer responding promptly to landline outages." Evidently residential svc no longer important to them. Cannot get new provider till 3 Apr. Unbelievable.

#6 Curious, that's the kind of error a native speaker makes. Usually the awkward English of North Korea doesn't speak like that.

#7 Even where success seems highly likely with some light industry or consumer goods endeavor, no one's going to jump in such a country as this, where you might be killed on a whim or sent to the camps.

#9 Phone companies are pushing cell because

1. Maintenance costs are inherently lower.
2, Wireless employees are non-union.

#11 AT&T just built their fiber out here and they are pushing bundles hard. I saw a goodly mix of CWA guys doing the tech end and landscaper Ernesto types (presumably non-union, but I don't actually know that) doing the digging.

#13 Evidently residential svc no longer important to them.

Most states have regulatory commissions as land lines are a monopoly. Had similar problems here, till the commission sent notice that they would loose their monopoly and infrastructure (with 'fair' compensation) to another bidder.

Noted with sympathy, Besoeker. We’ll cover until you are fully functional again.

#15 B, I've come to call those sorts of companies "SovietAmerica.com" and it's kinda ironic that this conversation has materialized in an article about juche propaganda.

#16 Well wen Edward Jones office opens up tomorrow morn I will realize a small bit of revenge on AT&T Bell South. I'm sure they will not GAF. but it will help sooth my soul. 20 yrs on-time paymnts, evidently not good enuf.

#17 #1, charger, good for you! I also learned grammar in the 1950s and love to see "free rein."

#18 Charger, "Full reign" in this case is correct.

AS TW mentioned, "free Rein" mean to let the horse(s) run freely, while in this case "full reign" mean that fat boy still want to keep control of the economy.

Under Kimmie, "full rein" will never happen.
