Image of the Day: U.S. Internet Speeds Skyrocketed After Ending Failed Title II "Net Neutrality" Experiment

CFIF often highlights how the Biden Administration's bizarre decision to resurrect failed Title II "Net Neutrality" internet regulation, which caused private broadband investment to decline for the first time ever outside of a recession during its brief experiment at the end of the Obama Administration, is a terrible idea that will only punish consumers if allowed to take effect.

Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and left-wing activists' warnings that the internet was doomed:

On the eve of her upcoming jail time, "Real Housewives of New Jersey" television star Teresa Giudice is suing her bankruptcy lawyer, blaming him for her troubles.

In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking $5 million in damages, Giudice alleges attorney James Kridel misrepresented her during her bankruptcy filing. Guidice charges that the petition filed by Kridel ultimately led to federal fraud charges against her and her husband, Joe (who will serve 41 months prison time after his wife is released in 15 months). Giudice claims that Kridel prepared inaccurate amendments, mishandled the bankruptcy filing and ultimately failed to prepare Teresa for a meeting with the federal Bankruptcy Court trustee and creditors.

The Giudices filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and dropped the case in 2011. In the initial 39-count indictment stemming from the filing, the federal government accused the Giudices of hiding rental income and Teresa's "Real Housewives" salary.
