the internet was never a regulated public utility before net neutraility and it functions alright either way

I know, and it's a really shitty utility because of it

no it isnt

because, at least in America, it has become so monopolized

yeah it's incredibly overpriced

monopolized regionally I should say

you should say "ISPs" if you're talking about isps

yes, sorry, I'm talking about ISPs because that's how you get internet

the problem is not that it is monopolized. but that USA hasn't determined its own elites

dont just say THE INTERNET because I can't tell what the fuck you're talking about

therefore, CHINA did.

the only utility we can buy that gives us access to the internet, if you can't deduce that (which you did), then I can't help people who think that slow

internet would likely be slower and more expensive as a gov utiltiy, though I agree that ISPs are whores

if you don't create your own upper-class CHINA (or another) will. there is no escape from this reality!

the fact is that supplying internet to the whole country is just really fucking difficult and expensive. It will have problems.

and they will pretend to be USA upper-class, off-course

but they are loyal to CHINA

I don't think you can control who your upper-class is in a free market economy.

those problems exist independent of the person who address them, the problem that does exist with privatized internet is, as you say, whoring

that is my point. I am against free-market/equal oportunity.

@Deleted User not really... First time setup? Yes. Maintenance? Meh

..what?

but in truth, it doesn't exist. it never did, never will.

too slow, sorry

Equal opportunity is too big of a term.

have you ever seen union men repair something dude

maintenance is not meh

@Nikitis why would you want to control anyone? That's just freaking perverse and disgusting

free-market/equal opportunity will never exist. not in a million year, not anywhere in the universe. If you don't determine who your economic elites are, another nation will. and they will pretend to be your elites. but they are loyal to someone else.

@Diokun no

Lmao I never mentioned I wanted to control someone, that was @Diokun

no, right, you just wanted to take most of the money they earned

@Nikitis you literally said "I don't think you can control who your upper-class is in a free market economy."

@Deleted User exactly

That was a reply to @Diokun

@Nikitis exactly. You said it.

it has always being that way. if you don't create your elites, another nation will. its very cheap, nation-wise. 10 billions create an elite inside USA using another nations money. now you have a USA elite that is actually loyal to CHINA.

we used to control who the elite was in the past, in the traditionalist systems of old.

"create your elites" what drugs are you on?

it was called nobility class.

equal rights gives rights to foreign nations to create elites inside your own country, it gives the impression of becoming a rich country. but that money works for somebody else.
