Just like the net neutrality horseshit

Mike hates free markets and hates the idea of a free internet. He wants large corporations like AT&T to control what info, apps and services we have access to and which ones we don't. Sort of like how he wants wants corporate America to set immigration policy, which means unrestricted open borders for the cheap labor. Mike wants to see a corporate dictatorship, where the biggest monopoly sets all the rules and runs the kingdom.

Financial Impacts and Emergency Surcharges

Declarations of water emergencies and water shortages can have financial impacts that may not be addressed in the water shortage response plan. While the objective is to reduce water consumption, reduced consumption means reduced revenue, and there should be a plan to mitigate the impacts on current and future budgets when such an emergency arises.

A water shortage response plan that anticipates these financial impacts by implementing temporary rate increases or by incorporating contingency funds and/or reserve funds for water emergencies into the budget process will minimize the loss of revenues and provide a source of income to help stabilize the water fund during such critical times.

Some municipalities have adopted provisions allowing them to increase water rates during a declared water emergency. Water surcharges encourage conservation and also mitigate some of the fiscal impacts associated with reduced water consumption. Sometimes these surcharges are uniform and established in the city code, and other times they may be variable and adopted at the time of the shortage.

Are you trying to tell me that our incompetent government bureaucrats that can't handle basic public service can design the internet. You know who doesn't want the merger of Sprint and Tmobile? Ignorant leftards and Verizon and AT&T.

You like monopolies and also think they are good for the free market. Like Dabonehead, you think it's great to give ISPs the power to control the internet of information and services, and not limit them to simply being the access points, like the utilities that they are. Of course Verizon and AT&T don't want Sprint and Tmobile to merger. Monopolies gonna monopoly.

Why? They are two competition different situations.

WestlinnDuck

I'm not sure you noticed, but cellular infrastructure costs a lot of money. Sprint and TMobile are not competitive with Verizon or AT&T unless paying less for shitty coverage is your bag. One of the big problems with a new cellular rollout is the blackmail that has to be paid to the feds and local and state governments. Check your cell bill. So, with a merger we could have three competitive networks or just the two. I support more competition. You just spout leftard rhetoric. The development of the internet and cellular service is one of the great triumphs of capitalism and the free enterprise system. Feel free to ignore government incompetence and have the government run it. Just like they run Tri-Met - the supper cheap and efficient Portland transit system.

Sprint and t mobile suck.

People are so stubborn and proudly ignorant about net neutrality.

Nobody is “handing the internet over to the government”. I mean, how fucking dumb do you have to be to think that’s how any of this works?

Funny how the government is ok charging people more to drive in a less crowded lane on the freeway who chose to pay the fee for the privilege of going faster. OBF thinks everyone should be equally miserable in the slow lane.

Mike now hates states rights. And roads still have nothing to do with the internet.
