But pedoboy09 has convinced me otherwise with his logic....

Juxtapose:
The $42 billion internet program that has connected 0 people
In 2021, the Biden Administration passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which included a provision to give $42.5 billion to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program to provide under-served and rural areas with internet access. To date, it has connected nobody.
AND
Starlink reconnects Western NC reeling from Helene.
A subsidiary of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Starlink has positioned more than 6,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit to beam broadband internet service to on-the-ground terminals. The first North Carolina households installed Starlink in 2021, and since then, the system has been used in the aftermaths of natural disasters and war worldwide where traditional internet infrastructure faltered.

$44G out of $264B (as of August 2024) is not a "drop in the bucket."

Starlink's Hurricane relief offer is not quite as free as advertised
It sounded good, but a closer look revealed that SpaceX's Starlink free offer isn't much more than clever marketing.

Remember when your parents taught you common sense lessons....
"There's no such thing as a free lunch"....
"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn't "....
"If Trump's lips are moving, he's lying"....

so people who are stranded with no communication or access to mail delivery gets thousands of starlink terminals flown in (hundreds if not thousands more sent in/delivered by posters on X as well) then delivered by helicopter to their location after coordinating with pete buttigieg and incur a fee for the hardware ($299 disaster relief pricing there is no shipping cost they were delivered by helo or set up by private people from X). I havent seen this so say thats all true. they get 1 free month ostensibly like any other schmo and after the 30 day free period have to pay $120 a month or return the kit and incur $0 for the previous month when power and/or the emergency is over and life returns to somewhat normal. it must suck being this miserable
