While the rest of you were crying into your cruelty-free glasses of vegan pond-water over the repeal of net neutrality, humanitarian and activist Rob Bliss was restoring freedom to American roads.

Instead of allowing traffic to rely on government regulations and oversight, Bliss decided the street in front of the FCC building in Washington D.C. needed a fast lane. So he created one. Using his bicycle to ‘throttle’ a lane of traffic, he offered commuters the opportunity to pay a simple $5 fee to take advantage of the newly created “fast lane.”

Bliss, like Ajit Pai, isn’t a professional engineer or expert on the flow of traffic, but that didn’t stop either of them from “fixing” problems only they could see.

Before he came along, people traveling the streets of Washington weren’t free to vote with their wallets and choose a fast lane. Everyone was stuck sharing all the “bandwidth” that was available.

Unfortunately, the police don’t seem to understand how America works. When a person fixes a problem they deserve to be paid richly for doing so. Bliss may have been the only person who had a problem with the commuters of D.C. not depositing money directly in his pockets for the privilege of driving on 12th street, but this isn’t about fairness or what the majority wants. It’s about ‘Merica.
