I was just sitting here thinking about how sickening that FCC repeal was, but seeing a man take such massive action really gets my heart racing. Look at the way he handles every piece of trash, his muscles rippling under that shirt while he cleans up the mess those dirty bribe-takers left behind. There is nothing more arousing than a guy who knows how to use his hands to make a real impact instead of just taking back-alley payouts. It makes me want to show him exactly how much I appreciate a man who isn’t afraid to get down and dirty for what’s right. I’m feeling so inspired and incredibly needy right now, so why don’t you come tell me what you think about his big, bold performance? Maybe if you play your cards right, I’ll show you a few more views of me that are even more breathtaking than this park. Click through to see my private gallery and let’s discuss how we can make some noise together tonight. I promise I’m much more satisfying to watch than a frustrating FCC vote, and I definitely don’t have any regulations on how I play.
The guy going back up the escalator to gain time.. ingenious
The fact that Ajit Pai made a video mocking us shows how little they care. We haven’t made enough of an impact so we need to keep going!
Holy fuck, imagine being his kid and being able to go into school the next day and say “my dad wrestled with an alligator“ and being able to prove it 👏🏼👏🏼
Ya know, maybe i’m just being emotional since i’m VERY frustrated by all of this, but letters, calls, and voting simply aren’t working. These people don’t give a single fuck about any of us. They literally do not care if you are even alive or dead. We are a product to them, to be bought and sold, and it’s disgusting. I’m sick of it. This isn’t a call to violence, but the only way things will change, is if these people in government are afraid. Making them uncomfortable and fearful is, at this point, the only thing that will reverse the course this country is on. These fucks need to be reminded that their job is to represent us. It’s not an opportunity to add more zeros to their bank account, it’s an opportunity to help the community that elected them. This needs to be dramatically pointed out to them, and if the current course continues, there needs to be consequences. We’re rapidly approaching the point of no return, if we’re not past it already.
Damn that first guy never learns
The three FCC votes to repeal are disgusting.
Just no shame to their bribe taking.
The current guy talking and trying to justify the repeal is just filled with contradictions and lies.
Damn it’s sickening to know this level of corruption can happen openly in 2017.
Edit : The major argument for repealing seems to be “let’s go back to bipartisan and how the Internet flourished before 2015. Things were fiiiiine then and I’m sure the telecoms won’t try to screw people in the future if we go back to the way it was!”
It’s complete crock. The law was a reaction to recognizing a vulnerability in the system which could screw the consumers. It was the government protecting the rights of the people against corporations. Difficult to imagine, I know.
Edit 2 : Listening to Pai now. Infuriating. The second big argument is roughly similar to trickle down economics. “Companies can’t be competitive if we regulate them! They won’t be able to make any money and invest! If we just let them be I’m sure they will pay workers well and create lots of jobs! They won’t abuse their power to throttle like they have in the past! ” Yeah. Sure.
Edit 3 : The 3 aye’s take it. Pai congratulates everyone for their eeeexcellent work.
Edit 4 : Mignon Clyburn was super. She had some really great points and it seems like the issue won’t end today. Nice to see all the links in this thread on ways for people to voice their opinions.
Lol the potato guy pretty much just said thnx get the camera away hehe don’t zoom in on my fat wallet please.
Mignon Clyburn is my hero today. Her speech was so powerful. She listened to us; it’s too bad no one is listening to her.
ETA: I’m so proud that *this* is my most upvoted comment. Thanks, everyone. ☺
Great stuff. I did a similar thing on a much smaller scale near my old home where I walked my dog.
Every day I would pick up a handful of litter and drop it in the bin. It was just a small thing every day, no real effort, I just made it my mission every walk to pick up some trash on my way, a little every day.
After a few months it started to change noticeably, there was very little rubbish and most importantly I found that when an area is clean -people typically don’t tend to litter as much. It’s as if the existence of litter there already means that the litterer feels somehow permissioned to just add ‘one more’.
After a year or so I got more ambitious, I started climbing into bushes and up the less accessible slopes of the creek looking for rubbish, until all of it was pristine. A few years later, some time after I moved away from that house, when I returned I was so happy to see my little area I adopted was still clean. So proud of that.
Just because the FCC has gone against the wishes of the country it is supposed to be serving, **this does not mean we should stop fighting for net neutrality!**
Don’t let this be a defeat; *let this be further motivation to make your voice heard even more and to keep going in your efforts until we get net neutrality established as a law!*
What an absolute legend
I’m sick of living in this world, genuinely. I used to have so many plans, things I wanted to achieve, and every day it feels like this administration is taking another stair off the ladder that would have let me get there. I lost my health care after Trump took office, our taxes are going to go up when we could already barely afford them, and now the internet is going to get a corporate chokehold and my business runs on the internet, so now I don’t even know if I’ll be able to get my customers to visit my shop without paying extra for the privilege. So I just want to say, Thank you Grandpa Jim for voting to ruin my and all of your other grandchildren’s lives, we’ll never forget or forgive.
Wow 103 trips.
I live in an (nice and clean) RV park with a stretch of road next to it. And the 20 or so feet of grass between the road and the fence is constantly building up trash. We go out there and pick up about once a month. People throw everything out of their cars, from beer cans to full kitchen trash bags to fast food meals. It’s disgusting.
We need more people to think like this guy.
This dude talking just said “hopefully Congress makes a set of rules preventing payed priority for businesses” THEN WHATS THE FUCKING POINT OF REPEALING IT DIPSHIT
KEEP PUSHING THIS ISSUE! Courts can help. Actual laws enacted by congress can help. The FCC isn’t all powerful. Keep fighting!!!
Maybe I’m pessimistic. But how is writing to my government representatives gonna change things?
I’m pretty sure they know 80-90 percent of the US wants net neutrality.
Sorry if this comes off as negative. I just don’t get it
That dude is a fucking hero. Biggest balls ever.
Dude got her free, then hes like fuck, well now I’m riding an alligator
Fuck, her hand must be well mangled up, especially after those death rolls.
Maybe just leave the fucking animals in the Wild where they belong
That man is an absolute unit.
Once that roll started.. I was like oh fuck but that person did a legit roll with it and I was like damn that was sick nasty.
Got that dude walking up the escalator 😂😂. Turns around like shit is normal lol
Reminds me of “No ticket!” from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, lol
*edit: came out of church and checked my phone… holy notifications Batman
The dude getting whacked is really selling it!
The most fucked thing is that they all had one! Except that first guy.
The dude walking up the elevator absolutely KILLED me. I can’t tell if he was doing it to gain more time or if he just wanted to walk away and realized there was no turning back lol
It took me a hot minute to realize he was beating the same guy and not just assaulting random people
Why are there so many people without masks?
Big difference between caring about the environment and actually caring for it.
Pfft thats nothing, today I cleaned my *entire* bedroom
Wonderful! It’s sad that there were 103 1/2 buckets of trash to begin with, but thanks for making a difference for our environment. You go Edgar!
