Re: Obama's Net Neutrality Statement: What it Really Means
My Lord, #1 cause of collapse is the people are dumb socialists!
It befuddles me how at least 40% of the people think the problem is the solution.
Read several my posts upthread from that one as well... Sigh...
I see no solution except to crash and burn the global economy. Megadeath is always the end game of snowballing Socialism.
Wait, so are you saying that if he does not get his way that the internet as we know it will die and our freedoms will be gone? You think that having the government regulate (control) the internet is going to save us? Kinda like how the Chinese, Iranian and North Korean governments are ensuring a protected internet for its citizens by controlling their access?...
It's not the gov controlling the internet, it's keeping business from controlling it.
It would mean the loss of net neutrality. What you see on the internet could be whatever your ISP decides. Let's say your ISP is Charter.com...
Good on you for keying in on the most important point, which I bolded in your comment. Everyone who is against it is spinning this as government regulating the internet. It's more accurate to say that it's government regulating the companies that give you internet access.
Hey you fucking dumbass dolt,
Why do you think Charter has a monopoly in some jurisdictions?
Hint: regulatory capture (where the corporations are in cahoots with the government and the regulation is used to enforce profits for both the corrupt politicians and the oligarchs). Note this corruption is the normal mode of government and can never be prevented, c.f. Some Iron Laws of Political Economics (which will surely exceed your intelligence quotient).
All you are doing is handing the hen house to the fox, you retarded socialist pig.
The internet is actually fostering and pushing competition along quite well because the government hasn't been able to regulate all of it yet.
Here is an example for you of competition in the USA (Red Pocket Mobile with $20 unlimited monthly plan) in an email I just sent one of my family members in the USA. I live in the Philippines (thank God!) with its tiny 10% government share of the GDP (growing rapidly though!) compared to 50 - 75% government share of the GDP in the USA.

If he fails on this the internet as you know it is dead. This is the freedom fight of our lives and hardly anyone understands why.

Here is the dual-simm Samsung I bought (for P9800 = $220) and it is
available in the USA for $240 (big screen, long-life big battery, etc):

The USA is really backward since we had dual-simm and UNLOCK all phones in
the Philippines for the past 3 - 4 years, but finally the USA is starting
to catch up with the Philippines:

Here is a prepaid plan for $20 monthly with unlimited talk and texting and
1GB per month in 3G speed data usage[1]:

The coverage map indicates nearly ubiquitous coverage all over the USA:

It allows you to use any UNLOCKED phone and they charge you $10 for the
simm to get started:

[1] Remember to set your Android to use WiFi when you are near a free WiFi
connection such as at home, so you don't access data over the paid network
unnecessarily so you can stay under the 1GB monthly limit. There is a
Settings in Android and I think the Network settings has an option to use
only WiFi for data. Remember WiFi is much faster any way.
