California Senate Defies FCC, Approves Net Neutrality Law (arstechnica.com)

The California State Senate yesterday approved a bill to impose net neutrality restrictions on Internet service providers, challenging the Federal Communications Commission attempt to preempt such rules. From a report: The FCC's repeal of its own net neutrality rules included a provision to preempt state and municipal governments from enforcing similar rules at the local level. But the governors of Montana and New York have signed executive orders to enforce net neutrality and several states are considering net neutrality legislation.

The FCC is already being sued by t21 states and the District of Columbia, which are trying to reverse the net neutrality repeal and the preemption of state laws. Attempts to enforce net neutrality rules at the state or local level could end up being challenged in separate lawsuits.

You do know that California is one of the largest food growers in the country, right?

You know that California is one of the largest food producers because it imports most of its water to grow this food from other states, right? No of course you didn't.

It's idiots like this and Pope boy up there who think that California can stand on its own. It can't. It only has the large economy because its is attached to a Larger economy called the United States. With out the United States there would be almost no industry in California. An certainly not enough water to support the overblown sense of self importance that is California.
