    "Net neutrality’s opponents have long argued that the rules will put off investors. " yeah no shit. Here is the part where people who are not an ISP give 2 shits. Supply side are assholes.

      In this damn country, slightly slowing down the growth of rich people’s investments is a more effective argument against something than literally killing your customers. If gutting net neutrality takes money out of normal people’s pockets and makes things a bit more difficult for them, then everything is working as intended.

    The US has no term limit for supreme judges. They are literally mini dictators.

    You know, if the rules for government handouts were more open, another company could gain ground. Just pointing out something congress controls.

      You want a government handout, just bribe contribute to the super PACs of the right number of Congress people.

      Really it’s one of the best investments a company can make. Doubly so if you’re related to one.

      Its a bit of a stretch, but slavery was legal before too.

      Unfortuanlty, if “it was legal before” was a valid argument, a lot bad stuff can come back too.

      However, in this situation, it sucks.

    This just feeds into my fear that the current internet is going to die at the hands of corpos. As a result, my paranoid ass has been buying up modems in the event we need to start from scratch.
