Net Neutrality: Why Should You be Concerned?

Youtube Running Slowly Isn't a Coincidence

Corporations are Trying to Take Over the Internet

Comcast already pisses me off. They charge a ridiculous bill every month for me and my household, just to use the internet. We don't have T.V., we don't have a home phone, and we are still paying upwards of $70.00 per month. Then people who have T.V. and phone service get the internet as a part of their package for $12 or $14. So basically what Comcast, and other Internet Service Providers are doing is mocking us, the consumers. 'Sure, we could give you internet for $15/month, but since you are not doing exactly what we want, we are going to charge you whatever we want.' These people have us by the balls, and things are getting worse.

What they want from us is to be really good little corporate slaves. We should all go to work for minimum wage or less each day, come home with a bag of fast food, and watch as much T.V. as we can before going to bed, or shopping at a 24 hr Walmart. In order for us to voluntarily accept this kind of life for ourselves, we definitely need to have cable T.V. service, home phone, and internet provided through the same ISP. That way they control what we watch, or at least monitor it. They are already charging us for it, monopolistically. However, if the Net Neutrality laws we have in place are dismantled, any freedom on the internet goes out the window.



We can stop them! Go to Freepress.org and get involved in stopping these bastards trying to kill the  internet. Any and all video sharing, music sharing, file sharing in general, goes out the window if they pass this bull shit. We would literally be subjected to an internet restricted to only the sites that Comcast and Time Warner approve of us using, and no others. There goes any hope for small business websites, blogs, and generally freedom of information on the internet.

Fuck them, lets stop this right now. Get pissed, tell people, and don't give your money to corporations people. It's that simple. We have the power, in every dollar we spend. Give your money to local small businesses that make a difference in your community, not these corporate assholes. Knowledge is power!

How to kill a Corporation . . .

Did you know most of your taxes go toward subsidizing corporations? How can we kill them?

The answer is actually startlingly simple; Stop buying their fucking products. Nearly everything that is produced and distributed by corporations is of terrible quality and carries an opportunity cost of a small business that also makes that variety of product going out of business. I know you love your local coffee shop, but they are literally struggling to compete with Folgers and the like of Starbucks. Seriously, RedBox and Netflix have all but annihilated any last scrap of hope there was for small local video stores to survive, and I love those places. So I propose a solution to you: Lets kill corporations. I'll give you the recipe right now.

1. Pinpoint which specific corporation pisses you off the most, or does the most damage to people

2. Discontinue any and all spending that is in anyway funding this corporation

3. Tell many of your friends and family what you are doing and why

4. Sit back and watch the corporation of your choice grasp for it's last breaths

Don't believe me that it's this easy? I assure you that it really is, if you actually follow these steps. Now there is a bit of a trick here; Step 2 is going to prove much more difficult than you have ever imagined, because of how connected most corporations are to each other. (The safest bet is to stop buying anything that allows your money to wind up in the hands of a corporation) Also, Step 3 is assuming you keep nearly a million close friends who value your advice . . . I mean you’ve got a Facebook right?

I assure you that you can do it. So put on your thinking cap . . .  which will you start with? Sysco, Monsanto, of Dupont by chance? How about Nestle or Coca Cola? Really any one you choose is a good one, and remember just what a great service you will be doing for the rest of the world. Thank you, kind and gentle citizen of this planet. I salute you.

If you need some ideas, or another reason to want to kill corporations, here is a great one . . .
