>Federal Communications Commission member Ajit Pai yesterday vowed to take a "weed whacker" to FCC regulations after President-elect Donald Trump takes office, with net neutrality rules being among the first to be cut down.
But I actually want my netflix to have higher bandwidth. Let the bandwidth wars commence.

You really want the telecoms to be writing more regulation for themselves? Unless you're a fucking moron you'd know that all regulation in the US government is written by the very companies it's trying to reign in.
Samuel Robinson
Government control is a noose around a neck. Less control the better for the average man.
Benjamin Gutierrez
Where are the proofs?
Easton Scott
What regulations do you actually want, OP? Where does it say they are going to get rid of those at? What are you going to do about it besides shitpost on Sup Forums?
Angel White
Let's see: Every single piece of regulation made in the past 40 years
Nicholas Hill
Care to name specifically? And lobbying is criminalized, so what's the problem here? Businesses operate under the law, they are part of the country, without them USA would be another wasteland.

Oh shit, why didn't anyone think to look there before? Hold on, let me get the New York Times on the phone and share this amazing revelation with them. Don't worry, I'll give credit to you, "Anonymous," when they ask.

Stop pretending the problem is regulation. It isn't. The problem is lack of separation of corporation and state. That's why regulations are exploited. Regulations are only and always beneficial when done correctly.

I kinda wish we could have rational discussions at least on Sup Forums's TECHNOLOGY board, of all boards. But looks like politically-motivated trolls keep shoehorning ideology into technical debates even here. Sad that we have to deal with doctrinal bullshit instead of logical arguments.

Carson Walker
Show me one example of a non-military/intel Trump agency appointment that is not an utter shill for powerful private interests.
Isaac Harris
The telco/cable lobbies most definitely did not ask the FCC for Title II classification of internet services.
David Peterson
He's not saying you're a communist; he's saying communism is awesome if you can get it working.
Regulations are usually worse than the problem they're trying to address, especially when telecoms are writing them.
You don't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.
Adam Morris
I was talking about the ancaps.
Caleb Powell
>he's saying communism is awesome if you can get it working But it isn't. Stop parroting argumentative slogans.

He's the son of immigrants, he's a pajeet and you're probably a pajeet too
Nolan Brown
He's also married to a blonde white doctor. Success breeds jealousy, and all you're doing is putting yourself lower than a so-called 'Pajeet.'
Well you are lower, but that's besides the point.
Kayden Butler
He's the gigapajeet, the pajeet of pajeets, and Sup Forums's final boss they will never defeat no matter how thick they grow their neckbeards.
I'm not a pajeet and dating white girls is the norm for white guys
What you're saying here is that an immigrant can do what a white man can, therefore he is better. You're more or less saying it is the norm for foreigners to be shittier than us so when one can equal us it makes them better than us, you racist.
Jonathan Baker
You need to realize that he doesn't care and it all comes down to feels about the guy being a "pajeet".
It's not like liberals have been exaggerating these people over the years, when we complain about this shit.
Tyler Clark
>nobody is going to give a shit, too busy worried about a nonexistent war on gays and women
How can I get out of this shit fucking country? Can't believe I voted for this retard.
Samuel Powell
>What you're saying here is that an immigrant can do what a white man can, therefore he is better.
Wrong. I'm saying this specific individual is clearly a class above and not a pajeet. "Hahah, he has a funny name, does terrible work for low pay, and probably does not poo in loo!" is what comes to mind for pajeet, but Rai is clearly not on the same level.

Zachary Wood

Right, we only have a VP-elect who believes in having funerals for aborted fetuses and praying/electroshocking the gay away. Also an openly misogynist White House chief strategist.
Colton Turner
>stocking the swamp up with more alligators equals draining it >"you have to understand what he truly meant!"
Fuck off.
Christopher Bennett
He is the son of immigrants so he is a pajeet
Call me when his son is running for president, at which point I will admit they are no longer pajeets
Samuel Davis
>A country is an oven and people are like different species of animals
MAGA, starting with its third-world education system.
Tyler Campbell
Drain the swamp was specifically his five point plan, not whatever the fuck you made up in your head
Clearly it was a poor choice of words though since retards like you assumed it meant he was going to fire anyone with experience and have his cabinet organized like this image
Dylan Ramirez
>she actually voted
Gabriel Cox
>at which point I will admit they are no longer pajeets
Yeah right. See you later at Rai 2032 for all the pajeet memes.

Net neutrality literally does nothing. I'm glad that Trump is getting rid of the current FCC chairman because (((Google))) won't be getting perks anymore. Tell me how net neutrality has actually personally affected you.
James Baker
Just bring the popcorn! t. europoor
Lucas Moore
Because the Goldman Sachs kike Mnuchin was chosen because of his vast experience, right? And so was Goldman Sachs tycoon Steve Bannon, I presume? And Israel-shill (and non-white, and female) Nikki Haley was picked for UN ambassador (the perfect position for her to shill endlessly for Israel for the entire world to listen) definitely due to her ample experience as an ambassadoress, no doubt!
Kill yourself!
Xavier Perez
Next Trump will criminalize Linux for being foreign and demand every American only use American operating systems like Windows and OSX.

His pick for head of the EPA has been a lawyer who's helped oil companies fight its regulations for years.

This shit literally already happens with the bill in existence. You tried to make me look retarded but you just proved my point that net neutrality literally does nothing.
Lucas Johnson
Nobody said it's currently implemented completely or corrected. It's actually admittedly a work in progress. Strawman harder, AT&T shareholder!
Brody Bell
>Tell me how net neutrality has actually personally affected you. I pay a premium for a fiber optic connection, with practically no limits.
So because my favorite websites don't have to worry about paying an additional (extortionist) fee to avoid being put in the 'slow lane' by the middle-man ISP, I actually get my money's worth from the super-fast internet connection.
That's how net neutrality affects me, it means I actually get what I fucking pay for.
Noah Gutierrez
I wonder why Mr. Pai doesn't like net neutrality.
Jackson Scott

How the fuck am I straw-manning. You went from telling me that net neutrality works to telling me that its a work in progress and not effective in it's current form. If anything you're moving the goal posts and straw-manning. Google did a really good job of selling net neutrality as something more than it really is
Like said, it literally got passed last year, and hasn't even gotten fully implemented.
Stop acting like we're going to regress into the fucking dark ages of unregulated business when the worst case scenario is that everything will stay exactly the same.

I'm waiting for Pence to use electricity to fix my opinions.
It hasn't prevented anything. The fucking law was in for slightly more than a year and nothing has changed, just because you pretend that it's made a difference doesn't mean it did. I'm still paying the same amount for the same shitty internet that I have been two years ago and you probably are too unless you moved here from a place with even shttier internet.

People though Trump was anti establishment and pro small business.
Economic freedom also means embracing the possibility that you can lose your job because Pedro in Mexico does it for 20% of your salary.
His corporatist promises were more in the general direction of fascism (that's what federal control of the economy with nationalist background is). Not saying that fascim is per se bad in all matters, but Trump is not a libertarian.
