Yes, “states rights”

Well, states are still free to do as they wish if they are okay not receiving money from this fund.

Lots of stupid going on with this, but I wouldn’t consider it a violation of the tenth amendment.

Almost every bit of news regarding Trump is bad. He wants them in the dark.

The USA isn't run by or for the average Joe. Average Joes are human resources to be mined, plundered, exploited and discarded as their rulers see fit.

We didn't just pay for it, we also gave up the public TV spectrum in order to make it happen. That's why your old-school TV antennas won't work anymore.

don’t see what this latest infusion of cash-to-corpos is going to do for the average Joe.

Who gives a fuck what the average Joe wants? If they aren't in the donor class, fuck 'em.

Gotta keep the dumb fucks who voted for him informational isolated.

Doesn’t matter it will always be Biden’s fault on Fox and they won’t question it

There's a surprising amount of rural electric co-ops that have pivoted to installing fiber on their own poles and becoming their own ISP. It's honestly impressive, they have done more to tell the major ISPs to fuck right off than any city ever has.

I was trying to find a clear list or map, but this site suggests 250 coops are doing this. Since the coops usually encompass a single county, you can sorta read that as 250 rural counties across America have already told at&t and comcast to kiss their yeehaw ass

And sometimes even little girls.

I pay $140/mo for ~300 down / 100 up. I found another provider with similar bandwidth for $50/mo, but I self-host a couple things, and they wouldn't assign me an IPv6 prefix or allow port forwarding. Also, my son complained because his games had 70 ms ping on the less expensive provider.

Edit: I'm in a big city, I think it's even worse in rural areas.

I pay $70 for a gig

The US education system has created idiots. The religious cult has done everything they can to destroy actual education.

The more overworked people are the more willing they are to take intellectual shortcuts and not think independently. One of those shortcuts is to mistake a contrarian opinion as independent thought. Throw in a contrarian leader into an economy where people are overworked and this is the result.

Because Americans like it.

Turns out if the worst that can happen is a judge saying "Hey don't do that" a few weeks later, you have unlimited authority.

"They might learn more about Jeffery Epstein and the people who spent time with him. Can't have that!"

It doesn't take a shit ton to bribe Trump. A compliment and a million bucks will get ya anything.

Again? I didn't know this was even a thing

When did that change to the President controlling?

When the president decided that he can do whatever he wants because nobody with the authority to stop him is willing to do so.

Obligatory fuck A-shit Pie 🫡

I'm paying $80 a month for a gig, it only comes bundled with a phone plan, a cable TV plan, and a gaggle of ad-enabled streaming services. Most days I get 200mbps down, and about 80 up. That's the best I could get.

No, I don't live in bumfuck nowhere, I live in one of the 20 most populous cities in the US.

I get 200mb down, 1 carrier pigeon up, and a static IP for $150 in the US. I'd burn my moms house down for those speeds.

Don't forget to bring your own modem every chance you get. Not only to save a few bucks, but the ISP loses a lot of visibility of your LAN when you do.

What if they access / do illegal stuff with your shared internet though?
