The GOVERNMENT invented the internet. DARPA. Net neutrality is quite obviously a good thing for consumers and for the American people--which of course is why Republicans/conservatives who are flunkies for big business do not like net neutrality. I'm always amused by conservatives who complain about the government but seem to have no problem getting screwed in a 100 different ways by corporate America. Red-staters--average folk, often poor folk-- vote for Republicans who do EVERYTHING they can to heap hardship on average Americans. It's kind of crazy, AIN'T it? The Obama administration installed a regulation that mandated that financial services firms work in the best fiduciary interest of their clients. There is a history of financial firms/advisors making trades and putting clients in high-cost /high fee funds that benefit the firm and advisor more than the client--who would me and you. What did the GOP do a few weeks ago? Axed that regulation, of course. The GOP is systematically axing anything and everything that might interfere with corporations ability to bilk consumers, or pollute the land, etc. Wages, drug prices, net neutrality, family leave, you name it. Medicare is a very good thing (even if its administrators were very slow to crack down on rampant fraud)--and yet some conservatives would love to get rid of it, privatize it, which would simply mean that a lot of elderly people would stop getting care. People who vote for Republicans--eh, they're a curious lot.
