Random Politics & Religion #30

Cellular technology was invented in the 40s.

Here's another one. AT&T trying to gain an edge in telecom by adapting existing power lines to carry data.

This would not be permissible under NN because only AT&T would have the market advantage with their investment. Can't do that, it's a public utility. Wouldn't be "fair" if one company had the advantage, therefore, no progress.

What does that have to do with the declassification of these companies as common carriers? It sounds like you're regurgitating random blog posts because you have no idea what the actual issue is.

The failure of that had absolutely nothing to do with Net Neutrality. I don't even think you know what NN means.

This was obvious after his very first post on the subject, he is literally just making up "reasons" to support the move despite it being bad for every single American, including him. You would hope Congress would get involved, but considering they haven't done anything this year, I wouldn't count on them.

The Trump administration has reportedly banned the Centers for Disease Control from using the phrases “evidence-based” and “science-based” on official documents.

Senior CDC officials distributed the list of “forbidden” words and phrases to policy analysts at the CDC on Thursday, the Washington Post reported Friday. The list also bans the use of “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender” and “fetus.”

Analysts are reportedly prohibited from using the phrases on official documents they prepare for the 2019 budget, which is expected to be released in February.

An analyst who attended the meeting at the CDC in Atlanta told the Washington Post that instead of “evidence-based” or “science-based,” policy analysts are instructed to use the phrase, “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.”

The analyst told the Post that other branches of President Trump’s health department are likely adhering to the same list of banned words. The source said that others at the meeting reacted with surprise when given the list.

“It was very much, ‘Are you serious? Are you kidding?’” the analyst said, “In my experience, we’ve never had any pushback from an ideological standpoint.”

The Trump administration has been repeatedly scrutinized for declining to acknowledge science-based findings, particularly related to climate change. Trump himself has not said whether he believes in climate science, and numerous members of his administration and his appointees have denied aspects of scientific consensus related to global warming.

The real danger with removing Net Neutrality is the ISP's who are merging with media providers into conglomerates that control too much of the product to have a free market work. It's bad enough that some area's only have one ISP due to mergers and capital costs, but without someone ensuring their being fair and transparent they are going to play with traffic shaping to drive users to their own products.

ISP offers a plan at $70 USD a month for high speed internet.

ISP also owns a media company and charges $20 USD a month for access to that media. Now consumers can choose to go with a different media provider like Netflicks, Amazon Prime, Hulu and so forth. ISP then puts in QoS and traffic shaping that severely degrades data to those competitors while leaving their own service running fine. If a consumer wants open access to those services they need to pay the ISP company $10 USD a month.

That is the nightmare scenario.

Star wars never interested me I prefer the trek.

Shatner *** with SJW's on Twitter is *** hilarious.

The Last Jedi is SJW propaganda.
