"No really bro trust me, I just want to be pro-investment, consumers will be better off without all these silly rules" - FCC Chairman Ajit Pai

The patronising language they use to justify their blatant corporate shilling is just sickening.

Meh, I'm not in the US anymore. It's their damn problem now. :P


But yes, going off what you said, this "pro-business" schtick to justify fellating corporate interests is infuriating.

The worst part is that you just know that some of the more malleable and suggestible of conservatives and Trump's supporters will fall for it and start using literally the exact same language to justify it themselves.

If the internet turns to shit then people will only use it when they have to. More of their leisure time will go other places and maybe people will be healthier physically and mentally.

I'm not saying I want it ruined. Just finding the silver lining.

I'm not in the USA either, but once the US starts rolling out shittier service that's 4000% more profitable then other markets are surely going to follow suit. Who cares if 2 million people get something worse for their money if the people who matter get better quarterly bonuses?
