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.

Randall Krause alleges in his lawsuit that the release of thousands of bright red balloons by Cornhusker fans following the first touchdown at home games violates the 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

“The mass balloon releases during football games at Memorial Stadium result in the open dumping of solid waste,” Mr. Krause alleged in a 14-page complaint.

According to news reports, Steve Smith, spokesman for the school, noted in a statement that, "Every balloon released in Memorial Stadium is natural latex biodegradable, and they are tied off with 100% cotton strings."
