The Federal Communications Commission will vote to eliminate a rule that requires Internet service providers to list all of their so-called “passthrough” fees on an easily accessible broadband price label. The FCC vote could also make the price labels themselves a bit harder for consumers to find.
ISPs routinely advertise prices much lower than those actually charged to consumers on their monthly bills. One method of raising monthly bill prices above advertised rates is to tack on fees that, ISPs claim, are used to offset charges imposed by local governments.
I didn’t get to go to college since my mother’s AIDS bankrupted our family, but I didn’t and don’t want to see other people hurt.
Am I a little bitter I couldn’t afford mountains of debt to get a degree while watching many of my friends go off to college? Sure.
Am I sad I had to work at a younger age than my peers so we could afford to juggle medications and bills? Sure.
Has this trajectory seriously screwed me for a lifetime of poverty? Yes, definitely.
Do I want to see other people hurt? No.
Sorry to hear about your situation. Obviously, it’s not everyone who has ever seen others on that trajectory then turns to dark patterns - I was referencing this guy and I think it’s more about those that are unable to process their emotions about it and misplacing the blame…

I can see that. I also think a lot of these MAGA just benefit from the patriarchy and abuse in general,

I truly believe a lot of these MAGA are just entitled, but society brainwashed a lot of men to prioritize their own needs and having any emotional intelligence as being weak. If the only emotion these men are allowed by the patriarchy to feel is anger, then we will naturally produce a society of angry men.
