George Soros got his money's worth on the NN issue.

Several years ago, the push for net neutrality started in political action commitees. They had friends in the last administration, and sold the idea that the freemarket is no good and government is the only option to protect the people.

It's the same damn argument progressives make with nearly any industry, and it's usually fought against by people who think that government doesn't have all the answers. In this case though, even so-called libertarians are throwing trust in markets out the window to fight a smaller boogeyman. They are afraid of a business getting power, and don't give a shite about giving the government even more power. They forget about what government does with the power we give them EVERY frickING TIME.

Yet again to break it down…

Goverment intervened in the market. The market is skewed and not free. The progs say "see, the free market doesn't work! We need government!" And so, government becomes the solution to a government created problem… only this time the people who normally have their heads on straight have lost their damn minds and have jumped on the government train.


NN got stripped out of the FCC, but Soros is smiling anyway. He is winning the marketing battle.
