"How 'public benefit' would be defined or who would determine which paid priority schemes benefit the public are not clear."
So, is anyone expecting folks who work around 100 days a year for 6 figure salaries to actually even COMPREHEND what we're going through? They don't understand us anymore than we actually understand what a filthy rich person's life is like. It's utterly detached, and therefore pretty easy to simply say "well it wouldn't bother ME, so it must be okay for them." Besides, I think this line right here pretty much sums up how this is REALLY going to be negotiated : "Powell -- a Republican who was FCC chairman from 2001 to 2005 and is now CEO of cable lobby group NCTA --" You've got the former FCC chairman lobbying for those who he once "oversaw". It's a bullshit scam, I'd imagine all of us know it. I just keep wondering why we collectively look the other way while it goes on. Must be them illegals. They're stealing all the megabites and clogging up the internet tubes. The scoundrels.
Broken bones... Did you bother to read ANY of the comments mentioning that care turns into "NEED BASED"? Yes, sweetheart, that would include...your example.
Thanks for playing this round of "are you smarter than Fox news?", we'll give you a consolation binkie and blanket so you can cry over your wall not being built today.
Almost all of these comments seem to miss a salient point...
Why the fuck should I buy a product intentionally designed to only be repaired by the people who knowingly overcharge for EVERYTHING? It's just throwing good money after bad. No headphone jack? Are you serious? Nah, I'm good. They're a piece of shit product that only sells because they have a legion of brain dead zombies always eager to get the next consumer status symbol. Perhaps if consumers simply only bought robust, easily repaired and maintained products companies would get the message...we just stopped teaching rational thinking generations ago and now rely on status symbols and a population steeped from birth in advertising lies..... Right AT&T/COMCAST?
So, the act wants to engage the FCC (currently run by a former lobbiest) with the CPB, also compromised and basically useless, to combat something that makes someone money.
Yet people still move the fuck out of the way when they say it's headed their way don't they?
So... "Fake and inaccurate" if it causes me to change my shitty ways but... "True and accurate enough" for your dumb assess to get the hell outta dodge when they say it's coming.
Y'all are anti vaxxers too huh? Bet you still go to a hospital when you're really sick though. Duplicitous cowards, the lot of you.
Shit, I didn't even post as an AC. Guess I'm just not "woke" enough to hide like a pussy.
Interesting, the views we reveal with our word choices, no? Not WHO you want to fuck, but WHAT.
The first step in a long terrible road is dehumanizing the 'other'. Also, why hide behind a coward's mask when you post this drivel? What do you fear? Retribution from those you've apparently deemed 'less human' than yourself? Seems odd you would do so given you hold your opinion with such obvious conviction.
Perhaps you're simply a coward and nothing more....
"Everything he wrote was factual and true. I particularly like how you can't point to anything and refute it."
In a civil discourse / debate, it's the person MAKING the claims that has to PROVE them, not the other fucking way around. Amazing how people still don't get that.
Are you Christian as well? Seems like really religious people cling to this fallacy like it's a floating door or something....it's annoying. Prove your own shit or stfu plz.
Just like the fake news out out by the Lugenpresse! I mean...lying press. They're always trying to do mean things to Herr Trumpenfurer, like publish what he actually says rather than the party accepted propaganda. Get with the program people, HE WON! He won and now we can bring Amerikkka back to the racist, slave owning, murderous, Kkkristian file it was meant to be.
Yep. Good times had by all (white) people, back when men were men, women and non-whites were beaten until they knew their place.
Ain't 'murika great folks? They think a fraudulent con with tons of money gives fuck all about them. Aren't they precious?
Yeah, in Amerikkka you can just look towards the Republican party and it's Cheeto-in-Chief. Not too difficult to find folks running on dog whistle politics, now is it? That's not to say that it DOESN'T happen in other countries, but you're trying to make it out like the whole of Europe is one big racist fest. We've all got problems...especially those who believe in some outdated misogynistic masturbatory fantasy where they're the UBERMAN... Poor fellas:(
Which usually comes before the most outspoken and vocal proponent of said thought process being caught in one of said bathrooms soliciting sex with someone OF THE SAME GENDER. Methinks those above me doth protest too much....
Seriously though, do you really think that 'feminizing young boys' is a fucking thing? lol....methinks daddy had a little too much alone time with some folks. Get some help!
Which still sell for a mint. Who cares if they work?! That's pretty obviously been a secondary concern thus far. Remember folks, we can't afford college education, healthcare for vets, or food for hungry people...but Jets? FUCK YEAH! BUY A THOUSAND OF THOSE!
GG Murika, fuck everyone but the top...defend your owners.
"I'm still going to piss in the pool everyone's swimming in. It's easier than getting out and there's no proof that it can make you sick. Hasn't made me sick today and really, that's all I care about. Fuck everyone else lol!"
We should start practicing medicine like these people think... "Oh climate change skeptic? Cool! Hey we have these leeches over here, this should work for your flu." Same for folks that think "science is just opinion" Here's your leeches kids. You don't get to fuck everyone else over and still enjoy the benefits.
Just remember not to "waste" your vote by casting it for a non-approved party. Be a shame if you were silenced for not carrying on with the status quo.
Spoken like a true tinpot dictator. AND a fucking coward to boot. Everyone loves the strongman they agree with, even (perhaps especially when) there's blood in their hands from their scapegoat.
My dear, sweet America, I worry for you. You were 200 years old when I was born, how many more will you hold together before the ignorant and spoiled rip you apart to feast on your marrow?
"if people don't feel comfortable using Facebook and specifically logging in Facebook and using Facebook in apps, we don't have a platform, we don't have developers."
Hmmm...so if people just stopped using facecrook, en masse, this would send a message. Gosh, that's a novel concept! Sadly, we live in the land where perception outweighs fact...and where want is automatically conflated with absolute NEEEEED. Hence companies doing whatever they wish and people believe themselves utterly powerless to stop it. Maybe we should stop being childish with our spending?
First of all : "OH NO, gasp, forcing people to identify themselves in a democracy is just dog whistle racism. You can't force anyone to provide ID before exercising any democratic right." Well except the most fundamental one of all of them.. or were you unaware of the recent push for VOTER ID laws?
On a different track, I noticed that suspiciously lacking was any call to reverse the decision mad that used those comments as an excuse... AND that something was said only AFTER two Congress idiots saw their name. How very typical.
Gosh Mr. AC, why not just log in to make to comment? Oh, because it's baseless and rings with every other "well just don't break the law" comment. The whole argument ignores when they change the "laws" to target folks like protesters, unit opinions, etc. But you already knew that, I'm sure.

"And I hate to say this, but behind that is another $267 billion ready to go on short notice if I want. That totally changes the equation."
"If I want."
Not if it makes sense. Not if it's in our best interest. Trumplethinskin just wants everyone to know how big and bad he is. Poor guy :(

Logic motherfucker...
Do you use it?
"There are now more jobs with shit pay and zero benefits than people willing to suffer working them."
That needed fixing.

So your solution would be...
Oh, right, you're just here to point out the obvious and try to look cool.
Nothing to see here but vapid masturbation. Moving on...
...next time I monitor spell check. *Scowl*.
You got my point.
Gosh Mr. AC, why not just log in to make to comment? Oh, because it's baseless and rings with every other "well just don't break the law" comment. The whole argument ignores when they change the "laws" to target folks like protesters, unit opinions, etc.
But you already knew that, I'm sure.
Was going to mention that case, you beat me to it
Because fuck you is why. We hold $$ in higher esteem than life. Not really that hard to conceptualize.
Depending on how one wants to arrange the language, one could say Viagra was a "failure". It was supposed to be a blood pressure medication.
Not that they would EVER try to play both sides of that or anything, that would be unethical. They always play by the rules!
