   All three companies are sitting on so much cash right now that if the ISPs do destroy net neutrality and start to poop on their customers, any of those three could sweep in and murder the ISPs right in the face. I'm not saying it will

   Haha, the owners of this economy are looking at the last, great reserve of consumer cash they can suck dry. Labor has no pricing power. People working real jobs won't be spending wild dollars anytime soon. They've been neutered

    Look. Let's face the fact that there's been a class war since the 70's and the rich have won. The recent attempt to overturn Obamacare (which would take healthcare from poor people and give tax breaks to rich people) is only
