Well, more specifically, it’s Obama standing on the Constitution and other Dems ignoring the white guy on the bench. But the Bushes are sort of ignoring the guy, too.
That guy has made a bunch of those paintings. They’re all equally stupid, and all equally full of economic anxiety.
Oh that’s from that Jon Mcnaughton, the Mormon painter whose dog must’ve been kicked by Obama.
Much improved version.

If enough of those people get off the Trump train, 2020 will be won.
There’s also an improved version of the presidents one:
I would play that game.
That is… spectacular. I love the little touch of Ronald McDonald in the background.
Boy what a crazy series of events and coincidences!

Motherboard reports that the FCC voted to eliminate open internet transparency protections on Thursday, which means that small-to-midsize internet services providers are no longer required to disclose specific information on broadband speeds, fees, and rates. Previously, companies with 100,000 subscribers or less were exempt from sharing this info, but that’s just been upped to companies with 250,000 subscribers.
The transparency protections were intended to help consumers make informed decisions when signing up with an ISP, but Pai considers it far more important to rid these broadband providers of “onerous reporting obligations.”
The White House’s Office of Management and Budget found that complying with the transparency rule enhancements “would take each broadband provider 6.8 hours annually,” Clyburn said.
Is that per subscriber or overall? If the latter then relaxing the regs is a joke. If the former then I can see the business argument for it.
Sorry, posting your damn prices, fees, and mystery data caps is not onerous.
That was part of the dissent, so I’m sure it was meant annually. That said, there’s probably more to the argument for the change - not that I agree with it, because wtf.
Here, without agreement or disagreement, is another “Boomers ruin everything” article…
Actually, though part of the problem is that our billing system sucks and we’ve been around long enough to have an overly complicated product line, these reports are a serious pain in the ass. It takes the engineer who prepares them a week or more to complete them and I think they’re quarterly. For broadband we’ve got various flavors of ADSL, SDSL, SHDSL, T1’s, DS3’s, fiber, DIA and P2P, all at various speeds and some with voice. The pricing varies depending on how the service is delivered, when it was contracted, what prices the customers negotiated with their sales people, bundles, special pricing for schools and government connections and on and on.
Ironically, I think this change would have affected us but we’re about to go through a merger that will put us over the new cap as well.
I can’t wait for this logic to be used by the FDA, EPA (assuming it still exists), etc. “Well, we source our chicken/baby crib paint/water from lots of different sources, all with varying amounts of mercury, lead, and arsenic. Having to provide quarterly reports of how ‘safe’ your food/baby materials are is a serious pain in the ass. So, getting rid of those pesky regulations to have to track that stuff is needed!”
I suspect all those companies have no trouble billing the customer though!
Oh, hey, I’m not saying we shouldn’t have to do those reports, I’m just clarifying that they are in fact a giant pain in the ass and take way more than 6 hours/year.
The EPAs total budget is like 5 dollars, so I’m not sure how they could have jaw dropping cuts.
