Yeah, just because they spent a lot of time and a lot of money for the ability to do it, what possible motivation would they have to do it? And besides, they said they WOULDN’T, and I’m sure they wouldn’t like being called liars.

Evidence? Perhaps one shows their true colors via where they put their money. 10s of millions from the ISPs in lobbying for this outcome. WTF more do you need? There’s an agenda there, and when it’s against consumer protections, ya know it’s not ending well for the consumer.

And they’ve fought tooth and nail for the ability to do it...because they just like having the option, I guess?

A small business with a monopoly on a necessary service is still a monopoly.

Are you using a small mom and pop ISP (which I read as “dial-up, but correct me if I’m wrong) because the big companies refuse to put broadband in your area, and similar to their lobby efforts with Net Neutrality have prevented municipal broadband?

Republican lawmakers will be pissed when they can no longer quickly access the NAMBLA website.

Is there anything more hateable than some corporate lackey who acts all whacky while he robs the American people?

What evidence do we have that ISPs will slow down access to certain websites? Other than...you know...ISPs slowing down access to certain websites in the past. But I’m sure they’ve learned their lesson now and would never dream of doing it again.

Ajit Pai is a fuckboy.

I’m not one to get all bent out of shape over spoilers, but I do sort of dislike when something is described as not having them, then does a “I won’t give anything away, but I doubt Kylo Ren and Han Solo will be going to any future father-son picnics any time soon.”

I will not read this article because I’m afraid it has The Last Jedi spoilers.

Ask yourself why publicly held corporations made it not only legal, but in most cases obligatory, To Increase Shareholder Value by any means necessary...

What the hell were they expecting by going full-Ticketmaster ? How did they think people would react to suddenly being charged upwards of a 40% service fee for what are basically donations?

Let me clarify less you think me to have the Boorish manners of a Yalie, I’m specifically citing the LEVEL of outrage targeted at Franken. If what he did rises to the level of making you aghast, how the hell do you have anything left in the tank for the dudes who actually force their penises into the orifices of…

So, speaking from ignorance about the American political system here, why have an appointment for one year of the two remaining years in the mandate, then have a special election, then the regular election a year later? Why wouldn’t you either have the special election immediately, or just have the appointee serve the…

Best wishes to Tina Smith in her new role as U.S. Senator, hopefully she will do a great job.  Still aghast at the manner in which Franken was ousted, but think its best to move on.

It's really great when you hear, "If you can't find a job, move to an area where that are more available!" Because moving cross-country when you're unemployed is so easy, for those who don't have a well-off family to support them. That's up there with Mitt Romney's advice to unemployed young people, to "borrow…

What's funny is I remember a long-ago Dilbert Sunday with Bob the Dinosaur about "the advantages of being dumb" and he put that same argument into Bob's mouth ("If people are starving they should just move to France") - but with Bob clearly presented as an idiot.

not to mention that the best places to move typically are expensive as hell thanks to rich white people.

The "just fucking move!" one is a great juxtaposition to the first one, as people who suggest that all problems can be solved by moving are the kind of people who have the resources and support systems to move on a whim.
