The left hates this undeniable reality - but here is yet another example that the government is not needed for anything outside of the 18 specific enumerated powers the states delegate to them.
Business will always build the infrastructure necessary (and more efficiently and at a lower cost) because it will ultimately end in more sales or lower cost for them.In July, Microsoft announced a “Rural Airband Initiative” to invest in partnerships with telecommunications companies to bring broadband connectivity to 2 million more people in rural America by 2022.
Microsoft’s Plan to Expand Broadband Would Benefit Rural Americans
Ever heard of GPS? Hate to tell you, but it was developed by the government, and the government is also the ones that put in the infrastructure for it to be useful.
Incidentally, there was talk about not allowing civilians to use GPS, but then they changed their mind and released it to civilian companies.
Sorry.............but there are several examples where the government has developed things well ahead of civilian businesses.
Another one of them is the computer.
The military is generally 7 to 10 years ahead of civilian tech. As it should be. But don't forget that the military contracts private companies to develop those technologies. The nearly unlimited budgets don't hurt either
