Net Neutrality Gives 'Free' Internet To Netflix and Google, ISP Claims (arstechnica.com)
Frontier Communications is asking employees for help in its fight against state net neutrality rules in California, claiming that the rules will give "free" Internet to major Web companies while raising costs for consumers. From a report: The Internet service provider urged employees to submit a form letter asking Governor Jerry Brown to veto the net neutrality bill that was recently approved by the state legislature. Frontier sent an email to employees and set up an online form for them to send the form letter to Brown. "I am proud to work at Frontier and help operate a network that is part of an incredibly successful Internet ecosystem that is the backbone of our economy and daily life," the form letter says. But net neutrality rules "will harm consumers and impose complex layers of costly regulation," and therefore "deter investment and delay broadband deployment in California, especially in rural areas that still lack high-speed Internet access," the letter says. The letter claims that net neutrality rules "will create significant new costs for consumers" but did not make it clear what those new costs would be.
Yes. Duh. That's what 'Net Neutrality' does. It's not exactly rocket science. You'd all know this already if you didn't have your heads crammed deep inside your own rectums.
No, no, Mr. Coward (if that is your real name), that's not true.
Had the ACA not been signed, global temperatures would have increased by 17.152 degrees (NOT 17.149 degrees that some Republican thinktank lowballed).
I get sick and tired of the Trump disciples low-balling the amount the temperature would have increased. Scientists said 17.152 degrees, and they don't lie. In fact, Science never lies. Except when it claims that there are only two sexes because there are only two chromosome combinations. Chromosomes are a Nazi concept that all real scientists rebuff. Everyone knows that sex and gender are determined by a consensus of highly-educated white people from the suburbs who moved to the city and gentrified all minorities out of it while shouting "Black Lives Matter".
Science also says that men and women are the same, as are all races and creeds of peopl ... wait, no it doesn't say that ... look, I believe the Science that the media and entertainment industry believes in, and I came to the conclusion all by myself without any influence or peer pressure. Did too. DID TOO!
You know how you know that I'm sincere?
Why, I live my values, of course. Sure, studies show that self-identified "progressives" take more flights each year, and fly more miles each year, than do self-identified "conservatives". Not me, though. I don't have a car, don't fly, I actually care enough about the environment that my daily actions reflect that concern. No, really. DO TOO! And I hate the working-class, rednecks who pollute less than I do but REFUSE TO TALK THE TALK. Oh they just MAKE . ME. SO. MAD! I'm so mad! Look at how mad I am! The climate! The earth! The earth climate! Nothing is more important to me than the comfort of the terrible breeder's offspring 60 years from now. The over-populate the planet, and I hate them yes, but dammit, I want them to be comfortable and to enjoy beachfront property unencumbered. I don't know why I care about that, I just do. Don't tell anyone but I might be God. I mean, my parents always told me I was and I always suspected they were right, but .... anyway.
It's not just me that cares about the climate, but all of California cares too.
I mean just look at this:

Wait, I mean ... fuck you! I bet you voted for the big Cheeto or some guy with bass in his voice! Macho Bro asshole! Impure! Unclean! Shame! Shame! Shame!
My college professor said climate change and science and even when promoting the establishment view I do so as anonymous coward so NYAH! Nyah! Nyah!
I'm so good.
