I can confirm the same thing on facebook when I tried to share this.

One thing I noticed right away was how Verizon is grouped in with "cable companies that are famous for high prices and poor service." I can understand Time Warner is complete shit, as is Comcast to a lesser extent, but Verizon actually has good service, their price is just high... Apologies for nitpicking, but that just irked me. That aside, this doesn't look good.

I'd offer them the compromise that we don't let in ANY Syrian 'refugees' (I really don't care that they could be terrorists), but this rider gets squashed.

However this country really needs to change how the regulatory agencies that deal with big business are funded/operated. If we leave them under the control of our 'representatives' they'll be constantly under the threat of being de-fanged.

Our government is a fiction. I truly believe that government is corrupt at every level. I was in municipal court Wednesday for a simple matter that I easily destroyed the prosecution on. However I was held in contempt of the court for simply asking questions.

One day the judge will be charged with perjury for all the lies they spout day in and day out. I think I should go into court next week and represent everyone who does not have a lawyer just to choke out the cash cow that is the municipal court.

This is pretty standard trickery now, putting in language into a bill that has nothing to actually do with the bill itself to circumvent outside scrutiny. Though I would always be in favor of a regulatory agency losing power, I am not a fan of this crap where cable companies can choose to extort money from websites. I would counter sue the cable company as they would not be offering an unlimited internet package were they to institute this policy. As the end consumer I would argue that I am being misled as the cable company is in fact limiting the access to the internet under these circumstances.

What does this have to do with the topic of the thread?

The US political system seems to be more corrupt than a banana republic

Literally letting corporations change laws

It's another rider that republicans are pushing on that same budget bill. It implements increased screening of Syrian refugees.

New Net Neutrality... 5th December 2015 02:49 What has that got to do with anything? It's like you're actively trying to derail the topic.


It's another rider that republicans are pushing on that same budget bill. It implements increased screening of Syrian refugees. I'd appreciate an apology, as it is certainly on topic AND a tactic that's within reason to see working.

Apologies for posting the same thing twice, but I wanted to make clear who I was saying what to.

Well due to ridiculously weak lobbying laws, many bills are actually written by corporations or "research groups" funded heavily by them. They have legalized corruption to such a degree that you can never know how much BS like this is being added to a bill.
