How do you crazy Americans get yourself into these situations:-)

Watched part of the Oliver video, Christ he goes on making jokes without saying anything.

I thought it was just a cost thing, but it's more of an extortion thing.

However, these sh## ISPs (we have them too) might regret it it? Eg something gets sidestepped when it's crap and something better gets created, ousting the shite.

tribalism in voting, gerrymandering, lack of campaign finance reform, and many other issues we seem unable to address

To kill net neutrality, FCC might have to fight more than half of US states
Bucking FCC and Ajit Pai, lawmakers across US have proposed net neutrality laws.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/02/to-kill-net-neutrality-fcc-might-have-to-fight-more-than-half-of-us-states/

TL:DR;  Of those I've read, the states are simply adding a clause in their contracts with ISPs that net neutrality must be honored everywhere within the state or the ISP cannot do business with the state gov.

If it gets blocked in the state senate I bet it ends up on a ballot.  We have 12% of the US population, so this would be a significant win for net neutrality.

Also, it didn't help that Verizon throttled firefighters' data.
