I don't think you get it (big surprise).

The government is not questioning that AT&T will have to pay a find of 1 billion dollars. No one is. A high school kid can figure that out. What AT&T said is that doing so will cause then to have to restructure how they do things.

Congress didn't like that answer, so they are asking to look at there internal organization to see if that's true. I say "fuck you" government. AT&T does not answer to you. You are not the end all be all of the US. You work for us, not the other way around.

Where does the US Government get off telling a company that's breaking no laws, that they have to prove to them that cutting benefits is the best course of action for AT&T?

It's insane. What have we become? We are only the US by name. The country I was born in is dead, and we killed ourselves. Fuck I am upset.

I know what you mean mafoo. This new health bill is going to cost me 3.5million dollars over the span of 2 years.

What, you want me to prove it?

WTF i don't answer to you.

You set a date for me to bring in all of my information to prove my point?

omg it's a public execution! Thug! you don't take me for my word. I can't claim i'm going to lose a lot of money? this isn't my america. This isn't where i was born! this is russia/china/cuba/france!

^the above dramatization is pretty much what is going on right now.

Let's be serious. AT&T is making a huge statement by saying they're going to lose a billion. Are you saying you would rather them continue making claims and have nothing done? Congress is looking into the matter. They're not brining in the swat cars and saying AT&T is harboring terrorists. They're just trying to find out what's going on. The america you were born in would have most likely called them Red commy spies. This is just one company making a statement, the government asking how they got their statement, and some people blowing something way out of proportion. If i was going to lose a billion, i'd be pretty happy that the government wants to hear me out.

 

Being this seems to be me against VGChartz, I will drop it. We will just wait until April 10th, and see what happes at the hearing. It will either be a public flogging (meaning I was right), or it will be the government trying to help (meaning I was wrong). We will see.

But to the point you brought up, there are many many companies this bill is going to impact. All the companies they are going to investigate (I mean it is the Oversite and Investigations Subcommittee) are the ones who release a press release putting down the bill. Why do you think that is?

And on a side note, shouldn't this investigation happen before you sign the bill? I mean if the real reason is to find out how this is going to cost big business a lot of money, how incompetent of them not to figure this out before they passes it.
