[23:53:43] <exec> 08└─Your use of the "Russian troll" pejorative is ironic, since I've been assured by the sorts of people who are wont to use that phrase that Russia wants me to vote for Bernie. It's kind of funny how the idea of Democracy for so many is the freedom to vote for the single candidate they support, or to b...

[23:53:45] <exec> 08└─Now that Pai's play has caused exactly what conservatives said Net Neutrality would cause (and that it would be an unmitigated disaster, thanks Obama), let's hear the sophistry about how this is now a good thing. I could use a good belly laugh.

[23:53:47] <exec> 08└─Again, telecoms were being nasty before, after and during "net neutrality". OP specifically said: You already must have data caps with fines for going over? I didn't get those until Trump took over;

[23:53:49] <exec> 08└─Tiered services? Bro, the internet has had tiered service levels since before Trump's fourth bankruptcy, long before he was president. Do you mind pointing out which part of "net neutrality" was supposed to put a stop to that, and why it never happened in the years that it was a law?

[23:53:53] <exec> 08└─Republicans predicted that under net neutrality Comcast would only spend 97% of what they spent on infrastructure upgrades the year previous? That seems conservative, even for a conservative.
