Bernie Finds New “Basic Human Right”: government-run high-speed internet access

quote:

“High-speed internet service must be treated as the new electricity — a public utility that everyone deserves as a basic human right.”

Wait.....electricity is a right? Do I have to pay if it's a right?

Any chance 'Ol Bern makes bass boats a right bc I'm upsizing mine if it is

I’m in the camp of a boat is more important to fish and feed oneself, a true basic right , than staring at a blue screen

Are a bag of truck nuts a human right?
Mine are worn out, and a government approved set is what I need.

Why should everybody deserve internet access?

High speed internet isn't enough. I need a computer with dual CPUs and dual video cards, top of the line of course. Throw in 128GB of RAM while we're at it. It's a basic right. I'm taking bids from the dem candidates for my vote. Who's going to step up?

A basic human right shouldn't require advanced technology to exist in order for the right to exist.

A basic human right should be something you have as a nomad, using sticks and stones to stay alive.

Why don't these guys just go all out and say everything will be free?

Credit card debt? We'll pay it off!
Car note? We'll pay it off!
Mortgage insurance? We'll pay it off!

That might be what he said, but what he meant was:

"With gov't run internet we can restrict bandwidth and access by deplorable people, we can decide who can say what to whom and when, and we can block any advertisement or point of view that doesn't support our agenda."

We as a species have been given freewill by our creator. To be free from infringement on any one's life and freewill is the only right we have. We are owed nothing else and we deserve nothing else. We are fortunate to live in a country where we have access to things like electricity, internet, health care, etc., but we should not expect these things be given to us as a right.

New lake homes for not complaining when a nomination is stolen from you are a basic human right.
