Some excerpts from the article:

>Based on American history, however, there is a path forward. Not conscription or a draft in a world war-era sense, but enlistment through a “debt forgiveness program.”

>The average American aged 18 to 34 carries more than $40 thousand in non-mortgage debt across student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and personal loans, with some estimates go as high as $100 thousand.

>This is the cohort the Pentagon needs. A federally administered debt-forgiveness enlistment program that fully discharges student loan, credit card, and loan balances after 24 or 36 months of service, and extends the GI Bill, would produce voluntary enlistment at scale.

>This is not theoretical.

What can I do about this dangling cable?

https://imgur.com/vYVFZ98

So early this year, a new neighbor moved in and rogers connected a line from their house to the box in front of my house. Rogers says they couldn't bury the line because there were snowbanks on the grass at the time. Rogers says they'll be back in spring to get it done properly.

Now it's approaching fall and there has been no action. Rogers is not coming and it looks like I'm out of luck.

Would this be some bylaw will do something about? Since I'm not a rogers customer, they're not speaking with me. My neighbor said they already asked Rogers to come and fix this and rogers is just dragging their feet. I don't really expect my neighbor to keep following up with rogers nor do I want to keep pestering him.

The White cable can be in the photo, I drew the red lines underneath.
