    I'm sorry if I'm having a hard time buying the idea that businesses are going to get rich by screwing over their customers. Doesn't seem to happen 99.9% of the time.

    The Epi Pen disagrees. So does Wells Fargo. The 300% increase in the price of insulin in 10 years would also like to dispute your findings.

    Either these are the .1% of cases or you don't pay very close attention.

    Comcast is probably the shittiest company in the world.

    Why are people still doing business with Wells Fargo if they just screw over their customers all day?

    Are those medical supplies not...you know...saving their customers lives? Gosh, I'd say that if somebody is making and selling a product to me that saves my life, regardless of cost, they certainly aren't screwing me over.

    And what do you think happened to WF when they fucked people over? They lost money, customers, share prices went down, etc. More or less proves my point.

    Epipens costs 10x as much in the US as they do in the UK. Pretty safe to say people are being screwed over.

    A year ago their stock price was 48. It closed today at 55. It was at 50 right before the scandal broke in the news and dipped to 43. That's what I think happened.

    They've clearly been devastated by the consequences of their misconduct.



    At least they canned all the lower level manager drones that were responsible for the whole thing in the first place.




    That was fucking sarcasm.

    Let me rephrase it, then. If they hadn't misbehaved, their stock price would be even higher.

    This thread delivers like none other with the exception of the usual hondoFS queefs.

    So you have no clue what net neutrality is. Got it.
    You got me

    Your so smart and stuff
    It's weird how this has been shaped into a left/right thing. There is zero reason to not want NN unless you hold stakes in an ISP.

    It would be like cheering for water companies to have the ability to charge you more for using water to make generic coffee, and less for making Starbucks. Water is water. Data is data.

    But regulashuns!!!!
    It's because of liberal shills like yourself fear mongering as if the TSIO already.



    HTH
    There's fear mongering used by the corrupt to persuade the ignorant, and then there's the ignorant perpetuating the fear mongering as if TSIO already. What we have here is clearly the latter.
    Still waiting for your take.
    No, you're not. Your only interest is in agreement that "Net Neutrality" as policy and regulation is only about net neutrality, which it clearly isn't. I suggest you develop a deeper understanding, try reading from sources other than the Daily Kos and Huffington Post, and learn a little history, this game has been played before.

    You are second to Sledog in your love for biased reporting.

    Re: Net Neutrality: You basically don't have an actual opinion other than parroting spooky right-wing conspiracies.

    This is becoming a waste of time, you apparently have a very limited memory.

    The Tug is the biggest waste of time in all of our? lives. HTH.
