    Tom Wheeler. Sorry, I had to look up the name. He succeeded the professional ass clown that was Ajit Pai, seemed like another Republican Telecom shill coming from the industry to further errode the regulatory agency.

    Turns out he had made his start in Telecom and the big players ate up his small company. He seemed to have joined them but he secretly had an ax to grind or at least the public’s best interest in mind.

    Top notch guy. Greatest anime betrayals right there.

    The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.

    They couldn’t fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.

    The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.

    Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.

    People are quoting sci-fi examples but they have been tried (and many failed) in the past. They are cities built, owned and operated by a corporation like Ford with Fordlandia in Brazil. Rent? Shops? All company-run.

    Technically Disney has their own special district in Florida and have a lot of Government-like powers over it.
