Net Neutrality was NEVER about fairness or equality but about government control over CONTENT on the internet.

You get it. The left is all about control. Control brings more regulation, more fees, fines, etc. They want to control your cars, your homes, your electricity, your rent, utility usage, your income, your food, your rights...

They want total, complete control of everything.

They tried that with egg farming.

Trying that.

Each farmer has a farm in one state, they do not, as a rule, have egg farms in many states - internet providers are usually nationwide, so the analogy does not work.

You would be asking people who are already leery of providers prices to pay even more. As the article said at the end: “At the end of the day, the least profitable or economical type of product to produce is the kind no one will buy.”

No rational resident in California is Happy with Moonbeam, democrats and the La Raza brotherhood. Sadly the traitorats in the state succeeded in perfecting the illegal vote and now short of a miracle the rats will stay in power. Washington and Oregon are really just as bad as California in many ways and in some worse.

It is said that Texas is now the new preferred destination for illegals so they best be aware, especially since they already have a growing cancer in the university cities. I have noticed the scourge spreading from the east coast too!

Unfortunately for California, they’ve imported enough Mexicans to ensure a permanent socialist majority; there aren’t enough net producers in the state to overcome their votes, so yeah, this is what they get from now on.

Too late. The lefts mostly control all the U.S. Coastlines and coastal population centers. This is some of the best prime real-estate. So what do patriots do? They fled those areas. Eventually they’ll run out of places to run to.

This is the asshat that introduced the bill to not make knowingly transmitting HIV a felony.

I don’t know much about Net Neutrality but I do know The Affordable Healthcare Act has cost me about $40,000 so far.

Actually there are only a small number of farm firms supplying most of the eggs for America. When the law was passed it was exactly the same situation. All of the farms were forced to start the changeover because they all sold eggs in California and the economics of two product lines.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/11/17/california-egg-law-cant-be-challenged-by-other-states-judges-say/

The states — Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Alabama, Kentucky and Iowa — failed to show how the law would affect them and not just individual egg farmers, a unanimous three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled. The court upheld a lower court decision that dismissed the lawsuit.

California voters approved a ballot initiative in 2008 that set the space requirements for egg-laying hens in the state. The standards say chickens must spend most of their day with enough space to lie down, stand up, turn around and fully extend their limbs.

The measure gave farmers until 2015 to comply.

California egg farmers raised concerns that the measure would put them at a competitive disadvantage with their counterparts in other states. In 2010, California legislators expanded the law to ban the sale of eggs from any hens that were not raised in compliance with California’s animal care standards. The California law cites concerns about protecting people from salmonella and other illnesses.

The six states argued that the law would force their egg farmers to stop selling in California or spend hundreds of millions of dollars complying with the California standard. Ninth Circuit Judge Susan Graber said that argument did not give the states standing to file suit.

“The idea of trying to restore the restraints of NN at a state level is nearly impossible. “

It’s just our nutball Marxist legislature pissing into the wind again! Just more money to be spent on litigation to put them in their place.

“The standards say chickens must spend most of their day with enough space to lie down, stand up, turn around and fully extend their limbs.”

Wow, that is a small amount of decency to ask for. Who would be against this? What a nation we’ve become.

Having said that, I am against Net Neutrality!

Too bad they would even have to pass a law like that. My dad had a bunch of chickens and we sold the eggs when I was a kid, and we would never had thought about treating them inhumane.

So true. As human beings we need to remember the Lord strongly rebuked the cruelty being done to just one little donkey. Nothing escapes His eye.
