NET CORP

*
note: Hello, a little help here.  Does anyone remember the original solar energy book I was referencing from?  The one that told you how to gut a refrigerator and use the parts to make your own block of ice for use in a Ice Box.  It came in a spiral binding, had a dark picture of the sun on it.  The guy that wrote it also had articles online on using your car as an emergency generator.  And I think, DIY hydrogen gas generation and use.  No idea of the title, searches come up with nothing.  I'd like to use it in my next book and list it in the references.  Appreciate any help.

Well, it doesn’t have a heck of a lot to do with survivalism or prepping other than as a comment on the process of collapse, but I wanted to talk about the ruling ending Net Neutrality.  I won’t have too much to add to the discussion, and I imagine most of you are far more knowledgeable than I.  But, sometimes we need to take a small breath and relax from the more serious topics anyway.  Not that this isn’t serious.  But I suppose it was inevitable and hopefully it unwinds slow enough to be able to adapt to.

*

This isn’t anything new, either.  Remember General Powell’s son when he was in the FCC and was all Free Market Cheerleader?  The difference between then and now is we’ve seen the naked unbridled greed corporations are more than capable of encaging in.  Back then, there were actual jobs and products to sell, so blatant fraud wasn’t as necessary ( well, besides the Tech Wreck Pets Dot Com tulip mania ).  Now, it is the only way to bring in the bling.  And corporate whores be all about the bling.  The difference now is we know we need to hurry up and apply lube before we get violated.

The Internet was supposed to be a public utility that paid fairly for access, universally.  The rich twats on Snob Hill weren’t supposed to be the only ones getting electrical lines to their homes.  Yeh, you could call the rural electrification project ( or, even Social Security, for that matter ) a socialist move where the poor got free goods.  But, did they?  That taxpayer money was paid back long ago as all those poor humpers bought all the appliances and all the entertainment doo-dads and used more and more juice and every company from coal miners to Maytag made big bucks.  Another taxpayer funded Big Corporation Welfare.

*

No matter how much a public mandated activity helps the poor, you can bet your last jelly donut that some pig of a corporation makes money off of it.  Obammy “cared” for the poor and increased Food Stamps users by 50% or nearabouts.  That might have put food in the poor boys bellies but it also bought a few yachts and BMW’s for CitiBank execs through electronic processing fees. The government mandated affordable Internet access for everyone ( and Facebook users aside, I think we can agree that this helped better most folks ) and so YouTube, Netflix and Amazon start streaming for under cost and screwed the ISP’s.

*

So the ISP’s want a bit more cash, because Bezos just got billions of dollars and all they get are a measly $200K paycheck every year.  Where is the justice there?  That barely sends the kid to Yale, for Christ’s sake.  Equality amongst the rich!  No, seriously, these White Person Problems are brutal.  Wouldn’t you say the right thing to do would be to pay double for your Internet access?  Oh, and while we are at it, let’s charge poor people in the desert quintuple for their water.  The golf courses get a bulk discount, of course!  The mayor and city council play there!  And, so as not to discriminate amongst corporations, let’s deregulate all the power companies.  A buck a watt is fine!  The poor can play less X-Box.

*

And they certainly don’t need a refrigerator.  They can go down to the corner Habeeb store every evening and buy a fresh Hot Pocket, and nuke it in the store.  We’ll give the Pakistani store owner a discount on his juice too, since he is a service to the community ( at 500% mark-ups ).  I trust that my sarcasm made my point.  You can’t just shout in nipple tingling glee that you are screwing over the Free Crap Army and turn everything over to the corporations, no oversight, no regulations and certainly no concern about the unemployed humpers who are dog crap on your shoes.

*

Throughout history, the poor were exploited until they revolted.  To buy off the peace, which in the long run benefits business, you need to give the poor, which constitute the majority of the population, certain concessions.  Subsidized food or Make Work Jobs or cheap transportation to get to those jobs, or whatever.  It can’t JUST be corporation welfare, it has to include welfare for the poor.  And guess what, Richey Rich?  THEY get to decide what is enough welfare, not YOU, because they are the ones that will riot and burn down your business and mansion.  Why do you think Black welfare will never be jeopardized?

*

The Lefties love to whine about how their Big Daddy Clinton cut aid to the poor, but all he did was cover that crap with a band-aid.  Blacks are still on welfare ( as are Whites, granted ).  It still buys the peace.  It might not be as lavish, but it is there.  Black population as a percentage stays the same, but that isn’t for lack of trying ( the Drug War casualties are brutal ).  Babies pay the bills ( which is why my lily White ex-stepdaughter keeps popping them out, ignoring cancer cells in her girl parts which should be removed ). 

*

I don’t care how Free Market, Republican, Dittohead or other Rich Welfare Only dumbass you are, you can’t repeal the laws of physics.  You starve the poor to cut the budget, you eventually see that you are on the Lamp Post List.  Now, don’t be silly, I’m not saying the poor will riot over a lack of Internet access.  I’m pointing out that with our current lack of rational thinking, as exemplified by the move to turn the Internet into Access For Rich Bitches Only, rather than a modest profit universal access service, means eventually as more and more of the shrinking budget is moved to the rich at the expense of the poor you will see serious ungluing of the social fabric.

*

I would imagine that the ones on total welfare still get complete access to the Internet, the price folded into their Section Eight Housing the government pays for.  BUT!  A factor we should also consider is that of Free Market Censorship.  YouTube and Twitter and Facebook and Google and others are already engaged in the practice.  Not, fundamentally because with corporations it is ALWAYS profit first, because of Leftist PC Princess BullCrap.  Because Coco-Cola and Pepsi and whoever else is still actually advertising doesn’t want any controversy ( the only reason it leans to PC is because The Matriarchy approves of that viewpoint, and they are the majority, or at least the majority of the ruling power ).

*

So, why would you think the companies would stop before  censoring the entire Internet?  Anything controversial would be purged from search engines, moved to the “slow access down because of quote bandwidth use unquote” list, or something similar.  Nothing is happening overnight, but without overturning this decision that is going to be the general direction.  I know you won’t be paying for this blog to be delivered to your door by mail, downloaded on a CD-ROM ( actually, my next move baring Blogger would be to pay for e-mail to deliver this daily.  After that the choices grow dire as it becomes charging per customer for something that is only popular for its current price ).

*

We expect all systems to fail in a systemic collapse, but wouldn’t it be nice for the government supposedly Of The People to give us SOME protection if we aren’t rich?
