How do they think net neutrality being repealed would help them?

It pisses off the libtard-beta-sjw-cucks.  This is far more important than their own well being.

If any of you are redditers you should do one for your state or upvote the one that already exists for your state.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

If anyone wants to protest this.  Since the entire country can't fly to Washington the plan is to protest Verizon stores since the current head of the fcc is a former lobbyist for Verizon.

I already protested by switching to my municipality internet, and going from 6 Mbps to 250 Mbps while saving $15 a month (as long as I stay within city limits since municipalities aren't allowed to offer net outside of their borders). I also told the Spectrum salesperson to shove it when they came to my door by telling them they can't possibly compete with the service I'm getting.

Yep, even if you were just outside of one, my congresswoman made it so that close city wouldn't be allowed to offer internet outside of their city limits.  Marsha Blackburn did this despite Tennessee having 2 cities offering broadband well above the rates other providers are offering and both wanting to expand beyond their city limits.

Here's an idea: stop voting for Republicans. That should prevent the backwards part of this back-and-forth.

Our government has always gone from one backlash to the next. Sometimes good things happen during and we get to keep them, sometimes bad things happen and we have to fix them eventually.

When was the last time you REALLY liked a decision in the US? You know, the last time you went "Fuck yes, I waited forever for that to happen!". Honest question, I just want to see people's opinions on that.

Net neutrality.

Obamacare, sort of.  Good idea.  The implementation needs more work.

Marriage equality.

This last one is a first world problem, required restaurants to finally put the damn calories on the menu.

There's been disappointments.  Probably the worst one is Citizens United.  Somewhere down the list is a total failure to defend our elections against partisan gerrymandering.

The calorie thing is so that you can make an informed choice about what you eat, it is not retarted. Also, it is not a difficult thing for chain restaurants to do, since they try to keep their ingredients and cooking methods exactly the same.  It may be more difficult for restaurants that are not part of a chain to do it.

'Informed choice about what you eat' like seriously?
You fucking know what you order.

But yeah... keep doing no sports, eat fatty fast food and drink soft drinks 24/7, but demand to know the amount of calories in your meal at the restaurants...
It's not like humans have a brain and can listen to their body.
Counting calories over more than a few days is not necessary, not even depending on whether you want to lose gain or sustain weight.

Well, why are you so against it? If people want to know if a meal has 12000 calories in it, they should be able to find out.

It's not like you don't realize whether you eat 1000 or 10000 kj. People should listen to their bodies, not what amount of calories they think they eat because
1) You don't really know how much calories you need (depends on genetic as well as how much you move, your age etc. No way to really calculate it).
2) By only eating after calory-count you ignore your body which is obviously not good in the long run.
3) If you just eat fewer calories but not healthy in general, good chance of having/gettiing some deficiency, plus feeling hungry all the time.
4) Counting calories is a good way into an eating disorder
5) It's not like calory counts in restaurants would be precise at all.
6) people (at least where I live) exactely know what's healthy and what's not, or if they don't they can easily google it. It's just they don't care.
...

Also, I'm not saying restaurants shouldn't be allowed to print calories on their menu. I'm just saying it's retarded to make them having to print it.

Actually, listening to your body is a dumb idea.

For example, a typical 'dinner' at Maccas would encompass more than half your basal metabolic rate of calories. When people are confronted with this number, some may choose to forgo 'upsizing' or switching their soda for water instead. Also because even the buns are laden with sugar and stripped of fibre at most fast food outlets, if you listen to your body, it wont tell you to 'stop' because you've eaten 'x' calories. It will mostly encourage you to keep eating.

A simple test.

Get a bowl of full fat greek yoghurt. Put plain, unsweetened, protein powder in it. Try and eat the whole bowl (a good half kilo). It may be a challenge and you will feel full afterwards (because of the amount of fat and protein)

Now try adding a delicious sweetened protein powder. You will want seconds! Maybe even thirds! It seems unnatural you could eat 100+ grams of protein and hundreds of grams of fat so easily in one sitting and still have an appetite but if its sweetened, it can override your bodies rationale

So sometimes it's better, not to listen to our bodies and rely on the numbers.
