Bingo.

Pai's employment history? Proof he's corrupt.

Wheeler's? Just a wonderful man seeking to help everyone.

Wheeler went AGAINST the wishes of essentially every ISP in the country with net neutrality.

I'll say the same thing I said on the OT - if this repeal is good for competition and a free market, why are the main supporters the ISPs who would be most negatively impacted by a free market???

Oh. And Wheeler went STRAIGHT FROM the companies he was going to regulate to regulating them.

Pai last worked in the industry 14 fricking years ago.
