Broadband Expansion Requires Net Neutrality Law

Broadband Expansion Requires Net Neutrality Law

By Allie X

The unresolved issue of net neutrality, or how to best ensure a free and open internet, deserves clarification.  The idea that online users can access websites without being blocked unfairly by ISPs (internet service providers) is one that nearly everyone backs.  But policies enacted in the name of net neutrality have caused challenges for internet companies and stymie infrastructure investment.

Though the internet was neutral, open, and expanding, Obama appointee Tom Wheeler over at the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) decided to flip perfectly good policy on its head in 2015 and saddle the internet with public utility regulations taken straight out of the Depression Era. Title II of the Communications Act, created in the 1930s, belabors efforts of internet companies to invest in their networks and innovate products and services for their customers. 

Thankfully, the current FCC is working to take steps to undo the harm and reverse Title II, but we need a long-term solution. 

We need Congress to end this cycle of regulatory chaos that is causing more harm than good to a nation trying to expand its digital networks and online opportunities to more communities. It’s time for pro-consumer legislation that treats all members of the internet ecosystem equally yet enables the internet to evolve and reach even more citizens of PA without heavy regulations.

Eating a raw lima bean can be lethal.  So can eating a raw kidney bean. And a raw fava bean.

The raw beans contain the toxin phytohaemagglutinin.

Don’t eat raw beans.

The sower Arepo holds with effort the wheels. That phrase was a bit of intellecutal wit in Ancient Rome. In Latin it is Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas. It is a palindrome.

Naive Nuns Try To Stop Clean Energy

Naive Nuns Try To Stop Clean Energy — A group of nuns have set up an open air chapel on a piece of land they own in Lancaster County in an attempt to stop the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline. The pipeline is designed to bring natural gas from wells in Northeast Pennsylvania to consumers throughout the Eastern Seaboard.

The nuns belong to the Adorers of the Blood of Christ.

So what do they want to use to power the plants that run the refigerators that keep children’s food from spoiling? That keep the lights on in hospitals? Coal? Have they ever heard of Centralia? Nuclear power? Three Mile Island isn’t that far from them.

We are sure the sisters are nice, well-meaning people but we are just as sure they haven’t thought this through.

Old Felons Fill Fed Prisons

Old Felons Fill Fed Prisons — For those who think America is Amerika and oppressive and repressive and mean, consider that of the 188,000 persons in federal prison, 80 percent are over 30 and about 45 percent are over 40.

In other words, those doing the hard time aren’t kids who made a stupid mistake, but calculating adults who likely have a long history of stupid mistakes.

Wolf Failed As Governor

Wolf Failed As Governor

By Sen. Scott Wagner

Pennsylvania is among the worst places in the nation to start a business, according to a study released by Fox Business. Back in the summer of 2014 Tom Wolf touted that he would be good for Pennsylvania because he was a private sector business owner, but under his leadership state agencies are outright hostile to small businesses.

Tom Wolf will go down in history as a one of the most ineffective and failed Governors our state has ever seen.

And it’s no wonder. Tom Wolf knows nothing about what it takes to start a business from scratch, make it healthy and keep it thriving. I’ve been doing it for 40 years.

If there is one thing I learned from building successful businesses from the ground up, it’s that you must take care of your current customers. Tom Wolf has failed to take care of existing Pennsylvania business owners.

When I become Governor of Pennsylvania, I will work closely with the House and Senate to enact many of the reforms needed — and I will not hesitate to exercise executive order powers.

It has become crystal clear that Tom Wolf did not, and does not possess the leadership skills to be the Governor of Pennsylvania. He and his policies are the enemy of employers, job seekers and the economy. My administration will empower entrepreneurs to invest, create jobs and provide better incomes for our families.

I’m a proven job creator and a leader with vision. I am determined to be the next Governor of Pennsylvania.

Rex Stout, the creator of Nero Wolfe, was not only a terrific writer, he also had a flair for numbers. He used to give shows where he would take a casual glance at a column of figures and immediately give the total.
