Trump MAGAthread X - Follow the Money

[Corrian]

The FCC is also trying to block states from making their own laws that uphold net neutrality

[The Parkus Empire]

I do not pirate, so I am not very concerned about the net neutrality thing.

Uh, yeah, I don't pirate either and I still kinda have a problem with the whole net neutrality thing.

It will detract zero from my happiness or quality of life, so I see no cause for alarm.

Well we all know how evil states' rights are.

Oh yes?

What websites do you go to? Check who owns them. Then check what websites your ISP owns, specifically if they own a competing website.

I sincerely doubt that the only websites you go to are ones that your ISP owns, and isn't competing with.

There is no website I go to that I couldn't live without.

[Bakery Hill]

Net neutrality is the type of political issue that should only concern the otaku types. Hopefully this will encourage people to get off the internet and explore the real world.

Hear, hear! Give this prole a drink. Salt of the earth, salt of the earth.

And I was scared you'd call me a hippy.

That's not what you claimed. You claimed it would detract zero from your happiness or quality of life. I, too, could live without the internet. Everyone could, we did it for thousands upon thousands of years; but it would certainly detract from my happiness and quality of life.

Traditionalists are hippies as well by conservative standards. See J.R.R Tolkien, for example, who protested tree abuse.

But NationStates doesn't bring you happiness?

[The Parkus Empire]

Not mine.

But NationStates doesn't bring you happiness?

It is a pleasant way to spend my time, but there are plenty of other things I could do.

Republicans are for state's rights how exactly? I mean I may be a dirtily Unitarian but even I can smell hypocritical bullshit when I see it.

A quick shift of the goalposts and we're off to the races!

That's always been bullshit.

K then, hope you like ISP's that don't like Netflix or Amazon blocking those sites.

9 Democrats support Republicans in their deregulation of banks bill

Fucking idiots.

[Senkaku]

Hear, hear! Give this prole a drink. Salt of the earth, salt of the earth.

And I was scared you'd call me a hippy.

Tragically, since the Internet is worth quite a lot of money these days and does a lot of important shit for us, it actually does concern people beyond "the otaku types."

But NationStates doesn't bring you happiness?

Yes, unfortunately, as I mentioned, you aren't the only person or entity on the Internet- there are also quite a few multi-billion dollar businesses that support tens of thousands of jobs, and they can't just go play outside if ISPs start fucking with their websites.

9 Democrats support Republicans in their deregulation of banks bill

Fucking idiots.

"what could possibly go wrong?"

[Corrian]

Apparently their reasoning seems to be "We're in red states", as if that is totally why Republicans voted for Trump despite the fact they voted for him because he kept TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD BANKS WERE AND SUCH. They didn't vote for Trump so the government would benefit corporate banks...

Honestly, if they lose, it'll be partly their own fault at this rate.

[Dahon]

"what could possibly go wrong?"

So we're totally going with "there was no recession starting 2007 for which years of deregulation and lack of oversight were responsible", huh?

Obama did it, and in any case it's fake news

I am sure multi billion dollar companies have their own lobbying groups, they don't need me to fret.

Trump's new HHS pick is even worse than the previous guy

Are we shocked?

Tell that to the dead.

Or to Pharma Bro.

He was Trump's first choice for HHS Sec, except for that securities fraud thing.
