the thing is, this is how American politics work, you are no better than the other guy, so stop pretending one is better than the other.

Option A: "I am a liberal, I believe in progressive new ideas and Change!"

Reality: the DNC wants to have complete control of everything without changing anything and ignores the voice of the peope"

Option B: "I am a conservative and I believe in states rights and that the federal gov should do nothing but provide security from foreign threats."

Reality: "the GOP wants to have complete control of everything without changing anything and ignores the voice of the people"

agreed. but the topic was GOP so i was staying relevant you fuckin weenie roaster. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also to regulate Interstate Commerce, but that clause is so abused and lead us from a minimalist government to one with its sticky fingers into every part of our lives. I mean, we go from a government meant to handle trade disputes between states to government that forces all citizens to buy insurance.

I love paying taxes so that 18 year olds can waste time and money in court fighting marijuana charges that can't possibly be enforced because we can't build jails fast enough

Nothing to see here everything working as intended

we have law to handle commerce, no need to get federal gov involved in that shit, let states do it. Like the founders intended.

the thing is more conservatives believe in less gov oversite, while more libs believe in more.

A lib thinks, "well if you have TOO much gov, at least *some* of that gov will be doing its job right... if you have NO gov, then none of the gov is doing its job and corporations take over"

but they leave out the part where the gov works for the corporations anyway, so there is no winning with that ideology.

George Washington was a tough dude, but probably dumb as shit by modern standards. His biggest contribution was being kind of weak and passing power to Adams rather than ruling like a monarch for his lifetime. I'm not super familiar with his military record but I assume it was good enough. As president, meh IMO.

And that's the story with most of the founders. That and guys like Jefferson, who were impressive -- but my god what a sick fuck. He is like fucking near-relatives generation after generation and runs a massive slave operation. Honestly, we should call him Lord Jefferson.

Don't get me started on that fugly ass pervert Ben. Franklin. I think he's been given enough undue credit to last all of history.

I guess Adams was ok...I mean for a self-absorb careerist WASP that failed as a parent. Probably even worse than Franklin. They both were horrible fathers that didn't follow their own advice.

And that's a snapshot of what I view these men at any given time.

This is the libcucks worst nightmare story:

**tl;dr: This is part of a five step process to turn broadband data in the US into the monetization platform cable had. This is due to cord cutting. Source : multiple contacts in the industry including myself to an extent **

**Edit: Step 3 is happening way sooner than expected. [Check out the video in another reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comm...dband_service/) and let me know if you notice anything interesting about the language used at the end**

Most people are missing the bigger picture here, and it's not about slowing speeds across the board.

The real goal here is to get all data under one umbrella, then impose data caps (extremely low ones), then use the repeal of Net Neutrality to push cable-like packages for things like Netflix and Twitch to have those sites avoid counting against the cap.

The push to get all mobile and otherwise non-broadband data classified as broadband is to assure that **any data you use on any device counts against a cap**.

The slow and imminent death of cable is the cause of this. The reason ISPs didn't start down this path earlier was because cord cutting wasn't nearly as prevalent five years ago, and companies still didn't have a clear cut path to monetizing the internet.

So, this is just the next step. Look for language about caps to come up after midterms, and for aggressive bills to be pushed through allowing very low data caps nationwide.

You will also see some sort of push to completely remove the possibility of start up ISPs. This will take form in an infrastructure bill severely limiting access to poles and underground junctions by new companies without direct permission from the existing ISPs that have cable on those poles.

Step 1: repealing Net Neutrality. This allows them to offer packages that don't count against a data cap.

Step 2: push to classify all data under one umbrella, so all data counts against said cap.

Step 3: eliminate the possibility of local ISP startups by making access to infrastructure either impossible, unreasonably expensive, or take far too much time for a new company to feasibly compete. Edit: To clarify, and to take from another post that I wrote before I saw the [new video trying to propagate against local startup/municipal ISPs](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comm...and_service/):

> As to the infrastructure side start looking for ads and bills being pushed to "focus on local safety and security" and to "improve infrastructure and roads", these are ways to pass things that don't let upstarts near the junctions, poles, and do the required splicing to actually get access to the existing network.

Step 4: implement data caps. This will be the time where aggressive shilling will take place on the form of "everyone is using so much internet we have to. You can't just let these people take your internet!"

Step 5: this is the end game that we are talking about when NN got thrown out. Majority of plans will have a 10-20 GB data plan monthly. Going over will be extremely expensive. Packages will be offered for different websites to not count against that cap. This is where you can expect to pay over 100$ a month for just internet for the same speeds you have now for unlimited access to only certain sites. Torrenting will clearly be hit extremely hard here.

those dudes were woke as hell and probably smarter than the average person today; the global IQ average since then has fallen and in the west its dropped 14 points since the victorian era.
