Regulation over a sweetheart deal

I live in WA, and, just, uggh.

The first problem is all the sweetheart deals that the cables have that have allowed them to create effective local monopolies.

The second problem is that the cat is out of the bag wrt last mile carriers strangling disfavoured endpoints and protocols. (And attacking consumer privacy.)

Now we have sweeping legislation to try to deal with the second problem while ignoring the first.

In the case I know about, the SC decided to invalidate part of the 21st amendment--in favour of the feds. (Which demonstrated finally that the US is no longer a constitutional republic.)
