For approximately the cost of the library bond, we can have public high speed fiber optic cables passing every home and business in Portland, serving the interests of the users, freeing us from capture by rent-seeking megacorps. For less than a Moda Center remodel.

We can decide that we can have nice things. Don't let stodgy electeds tell us we can't. When they tell you "it's too expensive!" tell them, "No, what's too expensive is what we are doing right now!"
