It's not that $105,000 hybrid Mercedes saves you money over an $8,000 Chevy Aveo, it's that it ultimately saves you money over the same model non-hybrid Mercedes.
From TFA (I know, silly to even mention such an odd source):
"It cost about $5,000 less over five years than its counterpart with a gasoline engine."
Things like sprinting a mile or going through a rigorous workout are also stressful, usually in a not-unpleasant manner.
Stress isn't always just an uncomfortable, twitchy, sweaty-palms experience, constantly being nervous about everything.
Although I do suppose that could describe some sexual experiences fairly accurately.
Here's the thing: The First Amendment says the government can't restrict speech, but a private company is not subject to those restrictions.
As a consumer, I do indeed want my access to the Internet to not be throttled by the company I get my access from. However, that private company, being not part of the government, has every right to do that. It may not be "right" for them to do that, and perhaps unethical, but that's not the issue. If one company doesn't give me the access I want as a consumer, then I don't have to give that company my money. Another company will take my money to give me the unrestricted access I want.
But they have the right to refuse (or throttle I suppose) service to anyone. They might abuse that right, but once they do, angry consumers will flock to where they can get what they want.

Seriously?
It's hard to be more of a picker of nits than that.

No, he's actually right.
