This just feeds into my fear that the current internet is going to die at the hands of corpos. As a result, my paranoid ass has been buying up modems in the event we need to start from scratch.

Republicans strike again

We need to make a list of them and remove every one of them, period.

The US has no term limit for supreme judges. They are literally mini dictators.

"Net neutrality’s opponents have long argued that the rules will put off investors. " yeah no shit. Here is the part where people who are not an ISP give 2 shits. Supply side are assholes.

Investors are shit. If your company can’t make it on the profit from the product or service, it shouldn’t exist.

At the same time, any company large enough to capture more than half the marketshare of any single segment should be broken up into at least 3 companies.

And private equity companies buying up small companies and then trading them like playing cards should be banned as well.

I’m so tired of these lazy, fat, investor class chuckle fucks getting handouts from the government.

The people running private equity companies should just be shot

Well, once again Mr TexasDrunk, I find we agree. I just have to couch my words, as we need to “turn down the temperature” or some bullfuck.

Yeah, I know, but I’m hung over and having a bad day. Those people bring nothing to society and in most cases actively harm their employees and customers before gutting businesses, taking the money, and starting over on the next business.

Fuck them, fuck their mom, fuck their dog, fuck the horse they rode in on, fuck their grocer, and fuck them again just for good measure.

Hope you get to feeling better man. And I agree. I work for a company that was bought by private equity and it’s just hot fucking garbage. Multiple times a day I dream of setting the equity partners on fire.

Appreciate it. I did a 45 minute set tonight and now I’m getting drunk. The bad shit is all melting away!

I worked for a company where that happened a decade and change ago. It was a total shit show. I was lucky and got out.

Comedy or music? Either way, I’m so interested in the vibe of what it may be.

It was legal before, wonder why they didn’t use that precedent

Its a bit of a stretch, but slavery was legal before too.

Unfortuanlty, if “it was legal before” was a valid argument, a lot bad stuff can come back too.

However, in this situation, it sucks.

Hey the billionaires already purchased the government. It’s not like they can do us any favors. Maybe we should ask for smaller things like please don’t start a war in the next 4 years again. Could we for once just let putin have it for like 4 weeks in a row and call it done?
