It's not just about who we vote for. If young people doubled their participation in politics, it would change the entire national discussion and political priorities.
The Representatives and Senators are entirely responsible for the actions of their staffers, and the voters are responsible for the Representatives and the Senators.
That makes no sense. They're the one advocating taking to the streets and guillotineing people. Not me.
We have all the tools we need to improve our country and we decline to use them. The voter turnout for people under 35 is a disgrace. If young people just voted at the same rate as old people, this country would transform overnight.
People always rebut "But the President sends a proposed budget to Congress". Yes, and it's a complete waste of time. Congress takes that proposal, throws it directly in the garbage, and then creates a budget- as is their constitutional power. It has always worked like that and always will.
NK attacking its neighbors would be a horrible tragedy, but would certainly not trigger "World War III". China is very sick of Kim Jong Un's crazy shit. The only reason they still prop up the regime is because they don't want 25 million starving refugees pouring into their country.
No. 97% of the humans you talk to on a regular basis agree with the parent post. Millions and millions of people who vote do not. The members of Congress who oppose funds for space exploration and fusion power get reelected by those people.
And my point is that your "cynical take" makes no sense. This decision is entirely based on the FCC and the courts declaring ISP information services, not common carriers, back in 2003.
What actions has Mr. Wheeler taken that are evidence of his secret loyalty to the telecom industry?
So he's saying and doing things to promote net neutrality, but you know that he secretly hates net neutrality because he worked in the telecom industry?
I know that Obama is secretly a Kenyan Muslim. He says he's not, but I know he is. It's all a big conspiracy.
ISPs were classified as an information service in 2003, long before this guy was involved.
In this case, Obama's FCC is fighting against Verizon and other telecom companies and defending net neutrality. But don't let basic facts right in front of your face influence your pre-prepared bullshit.
The consequences for normal people going to jail are bad. Aaron Swartz would have been hailed as a hero and had his pick of jobs.
My point is that writing "he was going to prison for over two decades" is misleading at best. He was going to trial by choice. Even if he had gone to trial, realistically he would have gotten at most a year or two.

You don't think that the NSA employs any Statisticians with PhDs? Really?

Wow. You should really leave such a terrible country right away.
The Representatives and Senators are entirely responsible for the actions of their staffers, and the voters are responsible for the Representatives and the Senators.
Your first sentence makes it sound like you're joking, but the second sentence makes it sound like you're serious. Which is it?
Sorry if my proposal isn't as exciting as murdering people in the streets.

I'll bet $100 that you don't do shit about it.

Yeah....you have no clue.
NK attacking its neighbors would be a horrible tragedy, but would certainly not trigger "World War III". China is very sick of Kim Jong Un's crazy shit. The only reason they still prop up the regime is because they don't want 25 million starving refugees pouring into their country.

The last thing I heard from him is that if AT&T implements their "Sponsored Data" program that the FCC would fight it on Net Neutrality grounds.
I believe they are all corrupt
So your established worldview is primary and facts are secondary. Got it.
All of this stuff is budgeted by Congress.
Aircraft carriers can project power and control airspace. Hypersonic missiles can't.

The FBI figured out who and where he was by using guns? Those are smart guns.
Sabu gave us hope and he taught us lessons.
Yes, his posting fake stories on PBS.com and releasing the names of all X Factor contestants was truly an inspiration to us all.
The consequences for normal people going to jail are bad. Aaron Swartz would have been hailed as a hero and had his pick of jobs.

If Sabu is so much smarter than the FBI, why is he sitting in a prison cell?
Aaron Swartz was offered a plea deal to serve 3 months.

Except that didn't happen.
