who wrote it?

let me see:

Congressional leaders on Monday released the text of a far-reaching $900 billion Covid-19 relief package. According to a summary from House and Senate Democratic leaders, the legislation will include direct payments of up to $600 per adult, enhanced jobless benefits of $300 per week, roughly $284 billion in Paycheck Protection Program loans, $25 billion in rental assistance, an extension of the eviction moratorium and $82 billion for schools and colleges.

hmm, dems.

you are a fucking idiot.

you do understand how this stuff works, right? Presidents sign bills, if the senate passes them after the house creates them

It was Senator Thom Tillis who proposed the bill. He is Republican. He also:

  • Opposes net neutrality

  • Voted against ban on warrantless browser history surveillance

The White House has said that President Donald Trump will sign the legislation once it reaches his desk.

He also co-sponsored the Threat Assessment, Prevention, and Safety Act of 2019 (TAPS Act), an awful red flag gun confiscation bill. Tillis is one of the worst senators NC has ever had.

Net neutrality is a Trojan horse.

Care to explain?

It casts legitimate things like packet prioritization as discriminatory, prevents carriers from having different tiers of service (pay more to get your packets through faster), and legitimizes more government control and intrusion into something it has no business being in control of.

Judging by what ISPs are actually doing, it's more like "pay more to not get shit service". And since big ISPs in the US are already fighting against and bullying smaller ones, yes the government needs to step and treat the internet as a utility.
