re: Goodbye Net Neutrality; Hello Competition

By analogy, let’s imagine that a retailer furniture company were in a position to offload all their shipping costs to the trucking industry. By government decree, the truckers were not permitted to charge any more or less whether they were shipping one chair or a whole houseful of furniture. Would the furniture sellers favor such a deal? Absolutely. They could call this “furniture neutrality” and fob it off on the public as preventing control of furniture by the shipping industry.

They can't even get a basic analogy right..

A more correct analogy would be.. 'In 2015, neutral trucking rules were passed making it so that trucking companies are no longer permitted to charge by type of cargo and can now only charge by total cargo weight.' ... But then in 2017 the neutral trucking rule was repealed allowing trucking companies to arbitrarily up the price of cargo delivery for start-up furniture stores or competitors and offer reduced-cost or free shipping from the competing IKEA they own.
