Brendan Carr has worked very hard to obstruct the passing and quality of Net Neutrality law. I guarantee it’ll be repealed again. Get ready for the return of data caps and content throttling.
"This utility-style regulation will slow down rural broadband builds."
What a load of shit. As someone who lives in a rural part of Washington, can confirm that Comcast makes no fucking effort whatsoever to bring internet out here. They could give two fucks about building new lines and only care about dominating existing copper shit.
God this makes me so mad. Fuck these assholes for making the internet actively worse for consumers.
What? You don't enjoy the prospect of having to pay significantly more for crappier satellite connections? Just another reason Elon is so involved - he wants to speed up the ROI for Starlink.
Don't forget mutual agreements by major established ISPs not to encroach on each other's territory and actually have to *gasp* compete!
Google tried to bring fiber to Phoenix, and we're mostly locked out by Cox.
The more infighting, the better. The more public they do it, the better. If everybody experiences their incompetence in a more impactful way, the better.
When you aren't choosing based on merit but on frivolous selfish whims, it's hard to all agree on the same person.
They are probably just fishing for our public opinion to see which ones feels more like they are "owning" us to us.
If it wasn't the literal scariest thing to happen in the real world in decades, Trumps presidency would feel spot on as a cartoonish caricature of an evil movie villain somehow tricking their way into presidency. Like if it was in a movie, you'd think "this isn't very believable, they could have at least put in some effort to make it convincing that this could actually happen instead of this cartoony slapstick bullshit in what was otherwise a serious movie"...
Every step of the way just seems like he is doing his best to get out of having to follow through with all the stuff he said by doing stuff so dumb that his followers will finally be disillusioned, but it keeps backfiring and making them like him even more. And it just keeps escalating...
But I know in reality he actually wants it, and is just pushing as quickly as he feels he can to pivot his audience towards his goals without losing them.
He knows about the only thing he can do to lose them is side with a lib. He's not worried about losing them - especially now. He's more concerned with slash & burn revenge upon every last thing liberals have ever cared about. He doesn't GAF about anything else.
So that's what Trump meant by "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
