Out on the Internets there is a video of me drinking out of two-litre bottle of Fireball whiskey. Said video is from a Go Pro camera attached to the bottle. The things you do for friends on their wedding day.

Come on man… give us a link!!!

and just like Surgeon General, I'm kind of doubting we're going to have an Attorney General for 2 years.

I don't think it's like anyone ever said Thom was hip.

True, Thom is very much a wonk in every aspect of his life.

Regulating internet service under Title II would mean reclassifying it as a utility, like water. This means that internet providers would just be pumping internet back and forth through pipes and not actually making any decisions about where the internet goes. For the most part, that's a controversial idea in the eyes of service providers alone. It means that they're losing some control over what they sell, and that they can't favor certain services to benefit their own business. Instead, providers would be stuck allowing consumers to use the internet as they want to, using whatever services they like without any penalty. If that sounds pretty great, it's because that's basically how the internet has worked up until now.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Regulating the internet as a utility would give service providers the liberty to charge us by quantity used, like water and electric. That means you'd pay by the kilobyte or megabyte. FUCK THAT.

Actually, it might move it closer to the European model treating the ISP as a common carrier which would mean that it should also actually allow for more competition since Europeans pay far less for internet access than we do.

Quote by Raine:
The problem I see is that companies like Netflix are already paying comcast for access to the internet.

That isn't anywhere close to a free internet.

I am very confused.

I think it's time to flesh out all the facts and misconceptions into a single clearing house, kinda like what you did for the whole ACA debate. I'd personally LOVE to throw in for such a project since I already have a good idea what's going on but I also suspect I may be a bit misinformed too.

At least I am not Ted Cruz.
