| there few things I agree with Democrats on ... But honestly, net neutrality is one of them, at least in theory. I don't know if legislation regarding it needs to be enacted (the system hasn't been abused yet), but I don't hope a Democratic House will help further the impulse for a national broadband vision, though I hope that vision has room for serious deregulation and franchise reform in addition to the promotion of municipal broadband networks and net neutrality. Alas, for some reason it seems many politicians see all of those premises as conflicting (though they are certainly not). | |

1 edit | Re: there few things I agree with Democrats on ... The Dems will want to be reelected. So they will take industry money to fund their campaigns. LOL - don't look for much change in Congress. Lots of noise, but little to no real changes.
Edit:
P.S. The stock market doesn't see much reason to worry about the changes in Congress. It is pretty much a ho-hum response so far. I guess they know the Dems will stay bought too.

And your interests are the interests of the "Stock Market" ??
Fool! Someday, when you and your family can't eat well; perhaps you will change your mind? I doubt it! Ignorance only supports and harbors
ignorance!
You will be lambasting universal health-care, at a time when it will directly benefit YOU! I truly hope, the future system actually discriminates against your kind (I surely wouldn't want to pay to keep you breathing, certainly not at federal expense),

It would be funny if only it weren't so sad that you say that in the same post you completely fail to have any idea how much the stock market affects your life. Even more funny that you seem to be advertising boats in your sig.

| said by TKJunkMail :P.S. The stock market doesn't see much reason to worry about the changes in Congress. It is pretty much a ho-hum response so far. I guess they know the Dems will stay bought too. Actually based on history the markets prefer not necessarily who is in power, but that the power is divided. They would prefer it when one party has control of either house of Congress, or if the same party controls both, that the President is of a different party. It makes for more "gridlock" in passing of bills, making for a more stable environment overall. When one party has control of everything like the Republicans have, you tend to have issues where things can be more favorable in one area (national franchise agreement), but get screwed elsewhere (footing the bill for warrentless wiretaps).

What is the evidence to back that up? Broadband penetration could be doing MUCH better. And unfortunately, there already is "government oversight," it just makes no sense. There needs to be a reformation of that oversight, changing franchise rules but also encouraging local municipalities to start their own network in the absence of the big players. The US has gotten continuously lower on the list of country's with the deepest penetration. | |
