  6. The analogy from FUBAR on Oregon Becomes Second State To Pass a Net Neutrality Law (katu.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody is saying the "product" is public property. These laws aren't even saying the delivery of the 'product' to the public is regulated. They are saying that the delivery of the product cannot be throttled or receive preferential treatment if you want any future state or local contracts.

    Perhaps you forgot how the economy did just fine in the beginning of the Dubya years, and only imploded somewhere near the end. It kept on doing bad in the beginning of the Obama years, and only started improving somewhere near the end.

    I call them libertards. Basically driving too fast, cutting between cars quickly creating unsafe following distances which force others to slam on the brakes, all in the pursuit of saving themselves a nanosecond to their destination. Self obsessed shitheads who care not for other's safety or time.

    LOL.

    Back in the day I had a flip-phone with one of those nub antennas that had broken off. I walk into the Verizon store and ask the guy at the counter to fix it as I had the phone insured, and guy says he can't do that because it still works. I look at the dude and say "I'm going to go outside to the parking lot and have a horrible accident and then I'll be right back for my new phone".
