That's a funny thing to read in a business paper about a company that is losing 38 cents on the dollar. I mean, I love public goods that have no market case – health care, education, transit – as much as the next commie, but these are not "proven in the marketplace."
I'm pleasantly surprised to learn Cory might be a comrade. I remember following his blog years ago, but back then he seemed like a lib just like I was.
