Shameful day...
This will be very useful, for cable companies to charge additional money, for the government to assert additional control, for certain media outlets to throttle their competition. Who will it not be useful for? Consumers. The average person who has to pay more and have access to less.
But that's like everything our federal government is doing right now. Taking power and resources away from middle class and poor people, and redirecting them in a reverse Robin Hood scheme, toward the wealthy, the powerful, the elite.
Open internet? Bye bye. Medicare and Medicaid? Undermined. ACA? Undermined. Environmental protection? Gutted. Food safety? Throttled. Ability for individuals to sue corrupt banks and other businesses? Undermined.
Look for continued restrictions on the average person's ability to: travel to other countries, travel the internet, have free access to information, have access the health care, have federal flood and disaster insurance and relief, have access to a clean environment, have access to safe food, and to fight back against big corporations.
Look for billionaires to get richer and own even more than the whopping portion of everything that minuscule percentage of people already control.
This net neutrality fits perfectly into that overall trend.
And everyone who voted for a "populist" Republican agenda, is getting screwed over, UNLESS you are super wealthy.
