So...Net Neutrality

[sbr]

While I think Seedy is wrong and customers won't see big price increases, I'm not convinced that Seedy's wrong, either.  I don't really want to take the chance.

See, this is why, 2 years from now, I will take this exact fucking post and wear. Your. Ass. Out. 

Fucking dumbasses could have WE WILL MAKE MOAR MONEY AT YOUR EXPENSE stapled to your fucking foreheads by the cable companies, and you'd still gaze at your fucking navel, and wonder if they really mean it.   

The fuck country do you think you live in, man?  Have you not been following the cable industry the last 10 years?  Jesus tittyfucking Christ.  Adrift in an ocean of Assburgers.

Well they could just add net neutrality back in

I think we should try out LaCrock's idea:  if something cannot be demonstrated to be in the consumer's favor, get rid of it.  Patents would be the first to go, followed by copyright.  The consumer could afford to pay more for internet if the price of prescription drugs goes down by 90%.

Never got the argument "Obama did it too". I thought the Trump voters saw Obama as the worst president in recent times. Why emulate him then?

[LaCroix]

as the saying goes, a broken clock can be right every now and then

Because, of course, it is really just a rhetorical maneuver to attack people who disagree with Trump's policies. There's no thinking put into the way in which it puts Trump's actions on the same level and thus no cognitive dissonance on those making the argument between disliking when Obama did something 'similar' and what Trump has done.

[LaCroix]

lol yes because when trump does it it's bad right i forgot

[Grey Fox]

Obama did not take out Net Neutrality at any point.

[LaCroix]

yeah, looked it up and it was bush. misremembered. so, it's been done before

[The Minsky Moment]

Obama admin always favored NN.

You can almost see, post by post, LaCroix becoming as intellectually dishonest as his hero.  He's still got a ways to go, as he acknowledges it about 10% of the time when his lies are shown to be lies, but I'm sure he's working to eliminate that last bit of impulse towards honesty.   

[Grey Fox]

Maybe we should consider that Lacroix IS Trump?
