@BetoORourke @SteveDavis90 You are a parasite.

It's hard to appreciate today what a huge and powerful institution AT&T was then. The AT&T breakup, completed in 1984, was a rare example of horseshoe theory in practice.

Progressive lawyers in the DOJ, like Phil Verveer, largely initiated the AT&T lawsuit in 1974. (There was a widespread feeling by progressives at the DOJ the Eisenhower administration let AT&T off easy in a major 1956 settlement of litigation initiated by the Truman administration.)

But the 1974 litigation dragged on slowly, not really a priority for Presidents Nixon, Ford, or Carter. It was a Reagan appointee at DOJ, William Baxter, who led the lawsuit starting in 1981 and re-focused it on breaking off the regional companies from Ma Bell, based on his commitment to free-market economics and competition.

There was huge opposition from the Reagan DOD to the DOJ's AT&T lawsuit. DOD even organized a Cabinet debate before President Reagan, defense preparedness v. free-market principles. Baxter, the free-marketer, made a good enough case that President Reagan privately remained neutral on the issue.

With no firm objection from the President, progressives and Reaganites at DOJ brought the AT&T breakup and settlement to a close in 1984. The breakup accelerated the computer revolution, cellular revolution, and telecommunications competition.

@jackimins Thanks friend.

While I appreciate the imitation it is becoming pretty damn exhausting…

@MarshaBlackburn This is why it pays to do your own research. The Senator is being blasted for providing an update on BB by folks claiming that it was due to the Infrastructure Bill. This is completely false because those funds are not even available for applications yet. #researchthetruth

@FCDallas Shameful. 3 on 1 and couldn’t get a third.

@TAMU please send my boy an offer. Couldn’t handle him being a @universityofky wildcat. #Classof2024

While this is entertainment related, several are heads of telecom providers. I can build fiber across all of my County for less that what any individual off this list receives for compensation. That should be eye opening.

Entertainment Execs: Writers and actors are being unrealistic. We can't pay them what they're demanding. It's unreasonable!
