And yet gravity is still going strong...

Make an ally out of gravity and you can use its strength for something half-decent instead of all-bad.

I think this land grab by Facebook is half-decent instead of all-bad. Facebook is treating the poor better than the Indian government has, at least. Neither institution really gives a fuck about them.

Facebook is treating the farmers better by giving them access to facebook. What has the government done except no interest loans, free seeds and fertilizers, subsidies and free training programs.

Sounds about right

You aren't expecting much from the government. Who has more resources and power than the government? If Zuck had that much power I'm sure he would do a lot more than just give free internet.
