Tom Wheeler was FCC chair under Obama. He was a VC and telecom industry lobbyist, so obviously he’s going full regulatory capture and letting the industry squeeze us dry right? Turns out he changes his mind, rules in favor of Title II, and ushers in Net Neutrality in the US. Crazy stuff.
Ten years later the Roberts Supreme Court comes through and undoes all of it. Because fucking of course they did.
I remember seeing a sketch some number of years ago about a time travler warning his past self about Betsy DeVos and the past version was shocked that things got bad enough that he knew who the secretary of education was.
Fuckin-A man… I’ve never known who the secretary of HHS was, this is the second dept of Education secretary I’ve know the name of (the first was DeVos).
At least his stupid coffee mug was relatable. I literally can’t think of another FCC chair.

You don’t normally hear about the competent ones…
