God our government is so fucking useless for anything that might actually help people.

this is a direct consequence of the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron deference back in June. the appeals court has to apply the law. so you know who to blame.

expect more cases like this in coming years...

It's by design: the rich know how easily "representatives" can be bought.

It's currently not fill with people who want to help "prople". It currently is setup to help corporate America only at this point. At the expense of your rights.

You know, in Germany there are some (we call them Reichsbürger ~ Empire Citizens) that believe the allied installed a puppet government in Germany and we are actually a GmbH (equivalent to US LLCs according to Wikipedia) called the Bundesrepublik Deutschland GmbH and a kind of proof should be that are ID cards are called "Personalausweis" which could be taken as Personal (eng. Employee) and Ausweis (eng. Identification).

The US basically does all of the Corpo things those conspiracy nuts see into the German government.
From the BS corp politics down to the office rumors.

Sounds a lot like American sovereign citizens. SovCits believe America is a corporation that was set up on top of the Articles of Confederation, (which was the precursor to the American Constitution). They basically believe that they can refuse to do business with the “corporation” (government) and be able to break any laws that aren’t written in the Articles of Confederation.

It’s where the “I’m not driving, I’m traveling” memes come from, because the articles of confederation mentioned a right to freely travel. So the SovCits think they can drive without a valid license or vehicle registration, which leads to lots of police dashcam footage of SovCits getting tased during traffic stops when they become irate or try to flee.

This isn't "our government" these are the oligarch's meatbags purchased for surprisingly low dollar amounts. These men (and women that silently stand next to them until they are told they are allowed to speak) are cowards and traitors. They are not "our government"

Your post is the right energy, wrong message.

One could go for a hundred years and not touch this shit. But nah. Some dirtbag judge asshole actively working to fuck us all over.

If the FCC can't regulate anything I guess I'll just run a high power jammer and block all cell signal in the area.

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait! You will get in trouble for that. Instead you need to have an LLC that does that for Profit somehow. Then all is forgiven!

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a privacy subscription service.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Privacy? You can't have privacy.

It's to block access to CSAM. Shame it blocks everything else.

Put hundreds of them in a pretty boxes, form an LLC, get a few VCs to sign on, flip the switch, then charge a monthly fee to "open previously-inacessible service areas to cellular customers" and you'll have a successful startup!

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

Hold on, GumpyDuckling... checks clipboard tsk tsk, I see here you're not wealthy enough to effectively lobby to get us in trouble; I'm afraid that'll be a $10,000 fine.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ah but technically it's still illegal to disrupt emergency services and also leaves you liable to lawsuits.

But yeah, the FCC in particular can't stop you from doing that.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ahh, but you can subscribe to my private emergency services on my own frequencies which aren't blocked, then nobody can block mine because they are the only available emergency service frequency.

Their excuse is that telecom services aren’t actually providing telecom services, but information services.

If that doesn’t make sense to you, it’s because you aren’t brain-damaged.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Courted reclassified the services to remove FCC ability to regulate telecos?

Talk about bad faith behavior.

So.... They're responsible for the misinformation sent to my device against my will now, right?

Obviously not because our leaders need to be killed brutally where all can see what happens, but in principle?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 266 points 3 days ago (9 children)

Amazing how much the US judiciary branch seems to hate the plebs.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 99 points 2 days ago (51 children)

Republicans have spent the last 40 years purchasing the entire system, obviously it works for them. They're the ones that paid for it.

Note that it piggybacks on the SCROTUS decision earlier about preventing government from protecting anything from industry.

They're going to use this for censorship.

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Torproject.org. There's absolutely no way to censor the entire internet, short of entirely disconnecting the internet.

But they'll call it freedom of speech. Speech someone/corp paid for of course, but Citizens United...

Corporations are just sovereign citizens.

All laws protecting the people's interests are now banned. Don't like it? Well become a billionaire and maybe the supreme Court will care

comes a time when blue states just need to draw the line and flat out refuse to follow federal laws and judges until federal judges stop being corrupt.

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They do it for marijuana laws but won’t treat anything else like that. I don’t understand.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 29 points 2 days ago

Money.

Lots of potential tax revenue with cannabis.
