AKA Net Neutrality.

It's what the FCC is trying to do to all of us. Stop calling it Net Neutrality and start calling it Internet Fuckery. More people will care. We can still stop this!
Us: The FCC plans to let cable companies give us Internet Fuckery.
Cable Companies and FCC: You mean hand off NetNeutrality?
Us: No, that is straight up Internet Fuckery.
Cable Companies: We would never do anything to dissatisfy your customer experience!
Us: When was the last time you showed up between 2-6 in the afternoon? InternetFuckery

And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.
