If only people actually cared this much about our bullshit healthcare system, net neutrality, the joke tax bill that's about to be voted on.
If only people cared as much about the fact that their elected officials take millions in bribes, to pass laws that make their lives hell unless they are super rich, as they do that the software developer called Bungie downgraded their favorite video game and sold it to them for $60.

Agreed

Net Neutrality laws only existed for 2 years...seemed the internet did just fine the TWO DECADES prior to the law. (Insert Captain Picard head in hand meme here)

Until Verizon was caught throttling connection speeds for the customer's watching Netflix, and prioritizing HBO customers. You people really need to get your heads out of your arses - Net Neutrality (i.e. changing ISP's to Title 2) was all about making it so ISP's could not fvck you over if you were not using services/content that added to their stock value. That is all it ever was, and it came about because[b] ISP's [u][i]were[/i][/u] fvcking over customers who were not using services/content that added to their stock value.[/b]

I do care about all that, and attempted to make my voice heard last year. Instead, the dipshit crowd was louder than just me, so now: - the Healthcare system will begin it's death spiral and become so bloated and overpriced no one will be able to afford anything...basically picking up where it left off in 2006. - Net Neutrality is gone, so in the coming weeks/months we will start to see once accessible content move behind paywalls. It will be D2 with CoO, but at a much more massive scale. - the Repubs got their tax bill, which they call a win, but no one in the middle or the poor will notice. "You will get on average $1,600 back in 2018!" - Great. But don't worry as infrastructure takes a nosedive, and you are paying the $1,600 right back and then some as prices go up healthcare, education, once considered utilities (i.e. THE INTERNET), and just basic crap like fixing your car because you busted an axel due to a complete lack of road maintenance (since all that is being cut to make room for this tax plan!). I don't mind people shitting on themselves with these decisions - they want everything harder for them so people like Trump can have better lives, fine. The problem is I am roped in with these assclowns going out of their way to make my life even worse as well. I literally had to explain to my 60 year old uncle that Net Neutrality was not about giving the internet away for free because that is what Limbaugh basically told him for months. And even after he understood how the internet was more akin to how your electricity is paid for instead of a standard commodity, he STILL said it should go because "Obama". There is really no getting through to some people, bud.

I live in california. It is a Democrat super majority state. They control everything. House Senate governorship many towns and cities. All Democrat. Pray tell why isn't California who has the power to enact anything they want not a utopian paradise? Why are the roads shit? Why do they steal from infrastructure to pay for other programs then raise the gas tax again to pay back what they stole and specifically write in a provision that they won't steal this money...

When was the last time you were in Alabama, Mississippi, small town Ohio, anywhere in between the large cities in South Carolina.??
-
I want to like this post a second time.

Watch out we have someone here who lives off of the gvmt meaning everyone who works for a living.
-
I work for a living - I also understand when I am getting fvcked over by politicians. The Republicans have been fvcking you for a while now - sorry you are unable to register what has been going on, dipshit.
-
Yeah I know, here in the northeast The Democrats run the show and we are just bastions of economic prosperity.... oh wait. Us vs. Them is an antiquated and lame argument. Both parties stink. 10% income tax for all. It’s fair and EVERYONE pays....not just 54% of the population. EVERYONE. That’s fair.
-
You know who is blind? Anyone who doesn’t realize both Democrats AND Republicans are screwing us over. I don’t care what animal symbol they choose...what their pet polarizing topic of the week is...what kind of nonsense they are selling in order to lure people to their side...they are full of shit. Anything and everything they do is to keep getting elected and feed their narcissism to be “in charge”. You know how you can tell a politician is lying? Their lips are moving. Stop being a sheep and seeing red and blue. Start looking at what they do and find the ulterior motives. Take away a politician’s power, prestige, and money. See how quickly their “values” break down. Take away their Cadillac healthcare and see how quickly they fix the system and take away the fees for being healthy. Take away their private security and see how quickly they grab a firearm to protect themselves and their families. The power of all decisions and policy should be with the people. Give them all a disease that causes them chronic pain and see how quickly drugs are made legal. Hypocrisy. That is what is on the menu for the two-party system and by getting us to fight each other they stay in power.

No, I'm just educated and I try to look at the big picture. Sorry
-
Never fear Donald Trump will make America great again!
-
You know the only reason I have any hope at all that Trump might actually be a decent President? You know why I don’t despise him as much as I did all previous Presidents? Because both Democrats AND Republicans hate him. That is someone I can get on board with because I hate THEM.
-
Lol you never know he may do something right.
-
Well he's been proving your logic wrong
-
If we’re that worried about him becoming a tyrant we shouldn’t have spent 8 years giving the previous -blam!- more and more power.
-
Yes and the absolute best place to bring up any of those kind of issues would definitely be a video game forum. Actually would probably get more done politically than you ever would feedback or game corrections from Bungie.
-
They probably do . They probably talk about it in appropriate places , not in a game forum .

Biggest problem is that the powers that be are just going to do what they want anyways. Millions of people signing petitions against repealing net neutrality [b][i]and[/i][/b] allegations of fraud [b][i]and[/i][/b] requested information from the Atty Gen of NY [b][i]and[/i][/b] a letter to Congress from dozens of Internet industry leaders stating that the repeal bill is fundamentally flawed and will irreparably harm consumers, yet the FCC still says "-blam!- y'all, we're gonna do it anyways" Or remember when the country voted overwhelmingly "We don't want to bail out the big banks [i]again,"[/i] yet W decided "-blam!- y'all, imma bail out muh boys from Goldman Sachs anyways." Kinda hard to fight this.

Tax bill doesn't suck it's actually helping my family quite nicely. The government seems to be rewarding hardworking Americans who EARN their pay check. Not Wellfare queens/bums waiting for a hand out. - pls libtards say some dumbshit so I can hit you with facts
-
Have you actually read it?
-
I have, parents make a 250k a year but we're penalized for being rich when they came up from the ghetto. People need to get off their ass and make shit happen for themselves. I'm done with argument now, I came to shit on for destroying one of our favorite games, not politics 😂

Other than work study I do at college, no.
