The conclusion describes an internet censored and throttled based on biased narrative and the ideologies which ISPs intend to display, removing public outcry and commentary as they see fit.

    This article is about the Mayor of New York banning soda. New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Because soft drinks are widely believed to be part of the obesity epidemic, he believes it is his duty to try and stop the citizens of Gotham from harming themselves.

The answer is brought up to what the President is actually planning to do and what he can do on the basis of immigration and is answered in this reading.
