California man arrested for threatening to kill FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's family over net neutrality
A 33-year-old resident of Norwalk, California was arrested today for sending threatening emails to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai last year, according to the US Department of Justice. The threats, sent by an individual named Makara Man, were made primarily in the second of three messages sent to Pai's official FCC email accounts in late December, just days after the FCC voted to repeal net neutrality protections.
The first email allegedly accused Pai of causing the suicide of a teenager through his actions that led to the net neutrality vote. The second email contained an explicit threat against members of Pai's family, as well as a listing of three locations in and around Arlington, Virginia where Pai is said to live. The third email allegedly contained a photo of Pai and a separate photo of Pai and his family.

I worked for a company that cared about people over profit and they were put out of business by a foreign company that cared about profits over people.
I quit before it happened, but 100% of those cared for people lost their jobs, one of the three that I still keep in contact with never found another unless you count going from a high paying tech position to gas station attendant a job.

Me too, the run lasted 12 years - better to spend 12 years there than be bounced around the profit seeking ping-pong machine. My friends who graduated at the same time and went to work for more standard "big corp" places were 75% laid off at least once by the time my 12 year run ran out.
