6. This is an incredibly high increase. It raises from $1.25 to $1.75, now making the total trip $3.50. For people who ride the city bus daily, this is an incredibly big problem. This means that if you ride it twice a day, say to get too an from work, you will be spending now an extra $730 per year on transportation. And that's if you have a job meaning a steady source of income. Imagine if you are poor and unemployed, and depend on the bus to get everywhere, riding it multiple times everyday. This could raise your cost for transportation thousands of dollars per year. It's incredible what an extra 50 cents can make with every trip.

Current Events Quiz 3.1
1. It could impact 5 million undocumented immigrants.
2. It's going to stop working because the side it's on is blocked from the sun.
3. 330 people were provided with shelter yesterday. 184 men at ARCH.
4. Brandon Kershaw was the MLB NL MVP of the 2014 season, and Mike Trout was the MLB AL MVP of the season 2014.
5. You can limit ad tracking by on your phone go to settings>privacy>advertising, then hit 'Limit Ad Tracking'.
6. Net neturality means that service providers should allow access to all content without blocking or not providing certain websites. I don't think that the government should be involved in internet regulation, considering many senators have already been pocketed by big companies. I think that net neutrality should be a goal to reach, as then we can have equality between small companies and larger international companies. Ted Cruz see's net neutrality as a threat to internet freedom. This makes sense as too that he's probably been bought up by some large corporal industry, and he wants anything but internet freedom. Honestly, this is a good example of why I find Ted Cruz to be a moronic sounding imbecile. He talks about how net neutrality would be the death of internet freedom, when really it's the definition.
