    You know there are Rep senators speaking out against this also.

    When the corporations start to slow them down or create their so called fast lanes. I don't think any of the sites you mentioned will be on their list for the fast lane.

    Enjoy your freedom.

    Well you did say Dem's answer me.

    I don't know when. I don't own or work for the Big 3 internet service providers. Ask them.

    Well then you should know that the government is controlled by corporate donors if your anti-establishment. Right?

    Well that's who's in control of the internet now. The guys that paid off the politician's. or if you like Comcast, Verizon, or AT&T. You will see what those 3 corporations want you to see.

    OH, you should also know the head of the FCC, Ajit Pai. He worked for Verizon before becoming head of the FCC. I'm sure now that he has this deal done. He will step down & return to Verizon to be paid off.

    My level? I'm Canadian. We have great standards for food etc. Your are correct the USA has less standards for food. They eat garbage food there. I could care less about that part as I hardly eat there. I bring my own food in. I'm not anti European. You claim to have great standards for food etc yet your worry any what the USA does saying it affects you. If you have great standards then how does it affect you? It doesn't affect us. I'm concerned about the internet thing cause I use it 5 days a week. You don't.

    of coarse it affects us, as it stands, the united states cannot export many food products into e.u. because they are not up to eu standards

    the u.s. government has been for years putting pressure on us to lower food standards in order for u.s. to be able to export to europe, and abolish european country of origin requirements so that we wont know to avoid them


    same for the car indurstry, european standards are higher, u.s. has been pressuring us for a long time to lower manufacturing and safety standards so that the u.s. can export their low quality crap to us

    and generally, the u.s. tries to enforce its own policies onto the world and succeeds on many e.g. drug policies, foreign policies, health care policies etc

    we need to keep an eye on the net neutrality thing, the last thing we want is to import this policy


    also, showing solidarity to the people of the united states that are being royally screwed is also a worthy cause

    they really should do this with electricity and other utilities. people willing to pay more get the electricity first then if there is any left the others can have some. that way electric companies don't need to put out energy as much so they can reap more profits though lowering cost and increasing revenue. we need more deregulation.

    You got it wrong.

    Electric companies willing to sell their electricity for less $$$$, will get more business. Thus leading other electric companies to also lower their price. When the govt sets the price, there's no competition. Which leads to no investment by the companies themselves for improvements. Then, when these companies argue that the government is not allowing them to charge enough, they can buy off any congressman to approve rate hikes.

    My water bill is almost $40. I hardly use any water. I guarantee if the govt did not regulate water companies, my water bill would be $10 because no utility would get away with charging that much for water. There'd be companies springing up everywhere selling people a better product. But, the govt sets the water price (i.e. approves any rate hikes the water company proposes), and there's no competition. I can't get water from anyone else. When the govt controls the market, that'a a barrier to entry. Nobody else can come in.

    Competition works wherever it's tried.

    Govt pricing leads to shortages, corruption, high prices, and shitty products

    Free market drives down costs of products because of competing companies trying to get the business from the people..

    Healthcare should go back down this rout.. Obamacare was and is a disaster to this day. Government got in on the action and that's never good thing.. Pharmy companies got richer and the poor and lazy got a free ride.. Middle class continued to work hard and struggled to pay for Obamacare. Then if they couldn't afford Obamacare or didn't want to pay for it like I didn't they got fined big every year on their tax returns...

    I HATE Obamacare for all those reasons!!!! Keep your own doctor and plan my asss!!!

    Sound good. The government shouldn't even be building any utility services like sewage lines, water access, or electrical lines. The companies should be running their own. We should be letting them decide if it's profitable to run the services to low population areas. Or at least let them decide the fair market price for these areas. The best news is we would get a lower tax burden, and the burden falls on the consumer to find the best companies will to service their area.

    uhhh no its not.


    Definition of 'Monopoly' Definition: A market structure characterized by a single seller, selling a unique product in the market. In a monopoly market, the seller faces no competition, as he is the sole seller of goods with no close substitute. ... He enjoys the power of setting the price for his goods.
