Clearly you don’t understand how slow things are in government. 6 months is a really fast turnaround for the government to get anything done.
Comment on FCC restores net neutrality rules that ban blocking and throttling in 3-2 vote
isles@lemmy.world 5 months agoThanks for the context in this specific case in response to my last paragraph.
So you’re saying it could have been done 6 months ago but is only now being done in the 4th year of Biden’s term?

It’s not like they just sat around and did nothing for 6 months. The vote was scheduled almost a month ago, and there was a period to draft the rules, a period to accept comments and feedback, etc. Things were in motion behind the scenes, we’re just seeing the end result of the last 6 months.

Thank you for stating the context! People always want magic wand fixes but changing rules and laws at government level have so many moving parts and counteracting forces to overcome. It takes time. Too many people just immediately assume it’s some negative skeptical reason without knowing the details.

The funny thing is, many of us on Lemmy work in software development. We’re often having to explain to people “yes, I know this looks like it should take 2 weeks, but it’s more complex than that. You just don’t have the technical or institutional expertise to understand what’s happening behind the scenes.”
