Senate confirms Biden FCC pick as 5 Republicans join Democrats in 55-43 vote. Anna Gomez confirmation means “FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality.”::Anna Gomez confirmation means “FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality.”
Now make it a basic right and utility like water and electricity, PLEASE.
Question: can we expect net neutrality rules to change every 4/8 years with each new administration?
How will that impact everything, broadly speaking? Unstable rules and regs are hard to work around.
People were sending Ajit Pai death threats. Were they aware his rules would be reversed in4-8 years? It sure seemed serious a few years ago (not violently serious but a major issue for sure). I feel misled for not knowing regs will change real quick.
Just curious, I have no idea how this sort of thing works.
You can’t know the outcome of general elections ahead of time, so there’s no reason to feel misled.
I guess I meant I didn’t realize these things can and do swing back and forth with the political pendulum. It just felt more permanent ish than that, idk.
Ted Cruz can seriously pound some sand right now.
So we’re having American news shit everywhere now? Fantastic.
Confirmation means she can, until it becomes clear that she isn’t going to.
Then the excuses will start. And centrists will say that anyone who remembers this article “doesn’t know how government works.”
I’m saying this now because I intend to link back to this comment when it happens.
The only time we ever had net neutrality it was under a “centrist.” And yes, we will have it again, until another republican wins because actual centrists - people who equate both parties at every opportunity - didn’t vote, and encouraged people not to because it’s all “pointless.”
(Btw you are the enlightened centrist)
Also, people who reliably vote tend to get the policies they want. People who don’t vote tend to complain the most about not getting what they want.
