GOP's Rollback on Title II

There's still time to speak out FOR Net Neutrality and prevent it from being repealed on Dec 14th.
I mentioned earlier this year about my support for keeping net neutrality. And how the potential repeal of Title II, if we allow it to happen, would put us back in the stone ages.My stance hasn't changed at all about Title II. I stand firmly behind what I said about it earlier this year. I can't stress enough about how this will negatively affect everyone that uses the Internet, if repealed. In the most irrational of decisions possible, a full-court press toward repeal has been put into play because of Trump's across-the-board vendetta against everything Obama. There is a senseless dismantling war being waged by Donald Trump of anything that the previous Obama administration had enacted. Keep in mind, Obama himself never placed Title II into law. It was under the directives of former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler that the Title II initiative gained traction to be what it is.
Trump says "Net Neutrality is a big scam for government regulation of the Internet!" The reality is that Trump himself doesn't know what's behind Title II and the protections that it provides for consumers to shield them from ISP's fuckery. That's my problem with Trump's new FCC pick, Ajit Pai. Mr. Pai announced that he wants to get rid of net neutrality for good. I've been following this issue closely since 2014 and know many are in strong agreement with me to preserve and protect Title II the way it is.
There have been documented instances where shady ISP's have implemented self-serving practices like throttling internet speeds. I've mentioned throttling before, and I plan to write more about this in my next blog. It's important to have some background on Title II and why repeal of it is so catastrophic to free and creative internet use in the future. It's so important to stand up against repeal of Title II and keep it intact.
I know some out there are Pro-Net Neutrality and some are Anti-Net Neutrality. I feel that the benefits of Pro-NN far outweigh those of the Anti-NN camp. Title II addresses ISPs as public utilities, and it serves to protect consumers from those ISPs with bad practices such as traffic privatization, as has happened in the past. For the Anti-NN folks, I encourage you to look up why we have Title II. Although those against net neutrality argue that as things stand, consumers are disadvantaged and that the status quo is burdensome for the free market of ideas, I think the opposite is true. To repeal Title II would have a profoundly negative impact on consumers and greatly scale down a free market internet in which ideas can flourish.
Ideas have flourished quite well under the current umbrella of net neutrality to date. Let's do our part to resist constraints to the freedoms we currently enjoy. The threat to repeal Title II is imminent, but your voice against repeal is more important now than ever before.
Please join me in support of Net Neutrality.

Ingles Interview and Blog Job...
So far I had my interview since last week, I tell you job search is so not fun! Believe me for anyone that's looking for employment out in this world, Its a shame that we have to be put into this shamefu l ugly world!! Oh god why??! I wonder why it has to be so tough on anyone that's looking for employment right now. It just felt that its troublesome to just to look for a job, If I had to wonder job, I'd be blogging! just what I'm doing right now, unfornately I don't get many readers in my blog to get myself paid for this kind of crap, But unfornately this shit does pay me since I don't have the maximum readership to be reaching any popularity success to the top of the charts of the net (which I do not!!). So that's the sad part if I wanted to keep writing as a blogger. But I have to make my ends meet...do I now? Wednesday Morning, I was over at a Super market for my first interview in months in seeking a new ...
Thoughts on Beyond Good and Evil 2
I have played the first game several times but have not gotten around to beating the game and many times sitting around in front of my PC I still haven't reached the end of the game. I'm still stuck in the middle of a level inside the factory. Now will be a good time to play BGE1 before the second release comes out...only if I can get my graphic card to work again with the game. Then everything will be great. I'm very stoked to get my hands on a copy pretty soon when a pre-order is announced. My thoughts on t...
