Most 4-year degrees are not worth the price of admission. In our necessarily employment-focused world, most liberal arts degrees are totally worthless.

Or they invest which creates/improves businesses and --yep, you guessed it-- creates jobs.

The telcom owns the fiber. You own your house. Net neutrality forces the telcom to open their fiber to all content. That would be like saying your house must be open to all of your neighbors.
If roads were private, different roads would have different texting policies and people would have the choice of whatever they wanted. Which ever road had the the safest policy would get more business and then other roads would follow suit in order to stay competitive.
