One of the problems people who try to practice fascism in America have is issuing rules. In your more traditional authoritarian nations you just say "Hey, I want so and so and those people are public enemies" and the existing authoritarian structures reach and strangle people as appropriate to the issue at hand.
The fascists are always happy enough to have "compliance" in terms of public silence.
Like Obama and his running dog lackeys your fascists can't handle criticism so they always try to kill off their critics.
Since we don't have an authoritarian tradition (like most of Europe, all of Africa, and certainly Latin America) the fascists end up being frustrated ~ it takes more than a diktat ~ they must write rules first, and in DC there are only so many really good rule writers. Some are lawyers, some are not, but they are all busy and have their limits.
Writing regulations is a little more boring than watching paint dry ~ and management never appreciates it ~ but somebody's got to do it. When it comes to something like the bizarre notion of "net neutrality" which will put tornado warnings way in the back of the line after "health care by Michelle", it takes a LOT OF RULES ~ and I think the FCC punks done run through their supply.
For the most part an agency like the FCC does little more than "rule maintenance" making small adjustments here and there to keep up with the times, or a new law. Now, given the assignment to write rules to regulate the internet infrastructure and content sequencing, they just don't have enough people for the job.
The top dog over there who wants this done is likely astounded that the FCC doesn't have enough writers for what he views as a SIMPLE job ~ which it would be if we had an authoritarian society ~ but we don't have that society, and people can go to court, complain to Congresscritters, and otherwise communicate in new and diverse ways, internet or not.
Their heads are exploding and the whole idea of net neutrality is doing a slow motion crash to the editing floor.
A most excellent analysis. Our next step needs to be chasing these fascists down dark alleys and beating them about the head and shoulders with hard Italian salamis.
I’m tired of messing around with stuff like letters of protest and Data Quality objections.
PS - If you leave your Italian salami hanging on the clothesline in the hot sun for 7 days, it becomes more lethal and smellier. Any days beyond that and you end up with jerky.
