    “massive broadband rollout” but they fail to mention that that rollout cost $200 billion and was thirty fucking years ago.

    If it wasn’t for the grants given I’d still be on Comcast paying $80/mo for 325Mbps on a 400 plan that was recently “upgraded” for an additional $10/mo without my consent (the upgrade was replacing 300+mi of lines that were destroyed in a winter storm, lines that were installed in the 90s). Now I have fiber for $50/mo, and Comcast can fuck off on their monopoly. Also, funny thing - their save attempt was to drop my speed to 300 and still have me pay $80/mo.

    Also, kudos to the reporter for calling him Mr. Trump as accolades are for those who earn them.

    This headline has come up a few times. Everyone seems to miss the glaringly obvious point that calling a program racist because it targets low income families is… racist.

    He simply does not like it because it does not fill the billionaires pockets. Whether he calls it “racism”, “terrorism”, or “gobbledigook” does not make a difference.
