My second favorite book I read this year was Sapiens which is also really good in case anyone is interested. I mention it because AFAIK, the book the person I’m responding to recommended is a follow-up of sorts.

Also in fairness, what trust has Comcast built with consumers? Why should I not believe that a company would attempt to make more money if possible?

How did we chose this? The person who appointed the FCC commissioner has no mandate. The majority of people didn’t vote for him. The FCC is on record saying that they won’t listen to comments from citizens. We the majority have NO voice.

I’m not sure what can be done. When my vote doesn’t count (the man who appointed the FCC chair didn’t have a mandate and didn’t receive a majority of the popular vote). The FCC has stated that they won’t listen to my comment. What power do

Comcast has a very slow lane for all BitTorrent traffic (they effectively blocked it back in 2007/2008) until the FCC died them to not do that. You’re argument is probably false. The fears are real we’ve seen ISPs provide tired bandwid

I would say it was rather irregular that my grandma, who has been dead for several years, thought net neutrality was such a burden on society that she just had to reach out past the grave to let her opinion (that happens to be verbatim the

Wait, what? You can’t fire people who refuse to work? That sounds absolutely crazy.

> Senior FCC officials also provided some more details on the rollback of federal net neutrality rules. For the most part, all consumer protections in the 2015 net neutrality order are being eliminated. That goes beyond the core net neut

In the US ISPs have local monopolies / duopolies. They can litterally throttle what every they want without worrying about their customers. You need regulation in markets like.

This guy needs to be held personally responsible. But he won’t be and that makes me extremely mad. It sucks that the rich and wealthy can be as morally bankrupt as they want without any/many consequences.

You also need to consider the opportunity cost. If more people were willing to take the risk of starting a business perhaps that would lead to a more prosperous society.

Not sure if that’s a real quote but in my case it could read: “anyone can start a business, just borrow 1 years salary from your step-mom bus driver”

“United States Senate Committee Testimony of Twitter's Acting General Counsel” seems accurate to me. Why do you think this is a dishonest title?

If your idea is that it should be shocking that a former felon becomes a successful and lawful member of society we are in agreement. I think it’s improbably to expect felons to write legal briefs that the SCOTUS examines and it’s also impr
