Or, we could just get involved at the ground level. the last 2 years should have proven that at some point, the piles of money hit a point of diminishing returns.

What difference does it make that they are cutting their cable subscription (its not happening as much as some outlets want us to believe) if they are keeping Comcast as their ISP? Your whole point was people will leave Comcast for being shitty. Comcast is already shitty. They have the worst rated customer service in…

And who is providing that internet access? Oh ya, Comcast. Are you really this stupid, or are you one of these trolls who would better serve humanity as an organ donor?

No, I’ll just do it like most of the rich in this country do and swim to the right egg.

The fuck does cord cutting have to do with it? Where do you think the people who dump Comcast cable are getting their internet? Are you just throwing out words you heard smart people using?

Seriously, I’m going start a rumor that Soros is buying a controlling interest in Verizon.

If providers are allowed to gouge the shit out of consumers, it will bring new providers out to jump on the bandwagon.

aaaand, I was right. In fact, it is worse than I thought since they also specifically ban states and municipalities from enacting regulations on top of what the FCC is rolling out.

The reason these regulations were put into place in 2015 is because the ISPs were caught doing things like throttling and tiering. The Net Neutrality regulations didn’t change anything, it stopped certain changes from happening.

AT&T and Time Warner were caught throttling service to Netflix and Comcast sued the FCC for the right to do so to a file sharing service.

Actually, be mad at the law preventing the House of Representatives from being truly proportional. That is why the less populated states are so over represented in the EC.

wait for a sale on torches and pitch forks.

How does a new player come to town if the current monopoly owns all the infrastructure?

Except the reason these regulations were put into effect is that ISPs were caught throttling services. Also, this is how wireless carriers currently operate their data.

I must be doing Twitch wrong. When I put it on, I look for the game or streamer or subject I am interested in. I’ve heard of these “cam girls”, but I’ve never actually seen one. I like pretty women, but that’s simply not what I log into Twitch for. If you do, cool. If you are one of these “cam girls”, cool. You do…

They don’t even need to be richer and more powerful than him outside the NFL. The NFL, like most leagues, is a country club and he’s still white trash they allowed in to fill a quota.

That’s exactly what jumped to my mind. And it makes me think this is less Jerry vs Roger and more Jerry and his friends vs another group of owners. Goodell is just a proxy.

The problem is, with modern technology and media, those scandals were no longer seen as isolated incidents. They were, in fact, league problems. You can shit all over how Ginger Hammer has handled them, but he didn’t really have a choice in making them league matters.

How much of that is Goodell and how much of that is the owners own infighting and pettiness?

Murrica!
