Tell me again what the voter turnout percentage was?
The vast majority of us are so used to our voices not being heard that we don't even bother voting. It doesn't change anything.
You keep talking about how they voted "for" this and that, without even understanding that most people in the USA didn't vote for anything at all.
Sure, I'll do a simple web search for you.
It was 64%.
The most since 1908
So, the "most people in the USA didn't vote for anything" is incorrect. Most registered voters did (if you're including infants and the deceased, well that changes the math a little bit).And if you didn't vote, you get what you get. And what you get is chaos and incompetence. Excellent plan, non-voters.

My grandparents lived in rural OK and had dial-up until 2018 when they finally were able to get a 2mbps DSL line. It really wasn’t much faster than the dial-up.
You mean it wasn't able to be saturated?
As slow as 2MBit/s is, relatively speaking, it's still magnitudes better than dial-up.

"America First" is one of his biggest lies
Can't spell America without ME.

Yes, I mean it never hit its rated speed. Also that many modern sites didn’t work any better than they did on the dialup anyway.

Funds allocated throughout the years have NEVER actually gone to providing/increasing broadband in rural areas.
Not entirely, my ISP is a family owned regional cable company and they took the grant and have rolled out fiber across multiple counties.
I get what you're saying about the mega corps, yeah they just pocket a lot of the money. But the smaller ISPs are being smart and investing in their infrastructure to be able to complete.

The news will probably never reach them.

What's an average Internet connection like in the USA? How many megs down?
I pay $60/mo for 1100 down, 50 up with Verizon.

I'm confused. The article is talking about "BEAD" which wasn't passed until 2021. You must be talking about a different program.
Yea he is, but it's probably the same telecom handout bullshit like the other program.
Trump is a piece of shit, but every program he cuts is not necessarily wrong. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Rural voters overwhelmingly voted for this. I have no sympathy. I'm downloading shit fast as fuck. And I'm using my symetric fiber to seed 24/7 the following torrents: CDC data removed from gov websites, data leak from Patriot Front (a local fascist movement in USA), and war crimes committed by IDF in Gaza. Plus a lot of porn.
Cheers, shitbags! You got what you voted for.

Well, I'm honestly not convinced they don't. I mean, with renewables popping everywhere and providing a surplus of clean renewable non-geopolitical electricity, why would you pursue nuclear for the energy? You don't even need to build an actual nuclear explosive, you could just make endless dirty bombs.
Iran could cover itself in solar and wind and there you go. They'd have all the electricity they need, could probably build most of the shit themselves too, and have not just plausible, but total, nuclear deniability.
