trump kills digital equity act.

[Crepitus]

The other day, during his intensive daily reading of complex policy papers, President Donald Trump noticed that a government initiative created by his predecessor had the word “equity” in its title. Naturally, this caught his attention. As he appeared to conclude, this could only mean the initiative was designed to help undeserving minorities.


Which presented Trump with a ripe opportunity to demagogue about supposed reverse racism against white people. As Trump just announced on Truth Social, he has canceled the program, raging that it’s “RACIST.” He fumed: “No more woke handouts based on race!”

Except there’s a problem here. The program in question, the Digital Equity Act, contained huge amounts of money for governments in GOP-run states, as well as Democratic ones, to expand high-speed internet access in underserved communities—very much including red states’ rural areas.

What’s more, every red state government had submitted proposals designed to garner their states large amounts of this funding. These proposals were explicitly designed by these GOP governments partly to serve their states’ rural areas.
That's right folks, trump is once again tripping himself.
The ineptitude of this administration is epic.

Angry Trump Kills “Woke” Program—and Accidentally Screws MAGA Voters

It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.

Good, send that money to the FAA to upgrade our antiquated ATC system.

Anyone that really wants rural internet already has Starlink, Viasat or the like.

Is digital equity the same amount of Zeros and Ones?

Liberals and Tweeners like mac1958 think money grows on trees

"equity"?

Equity and equality are both illusions.

There will always be superior and inferior, and those in between.

There will never be true forms of both.

Of course he didn't, you nincompoop. He doesn't have any real connection to the world at this point. He saw the word "equity" and started slobbering like Pavlov's dogs.

I live in the sticks and I have a 1 gig fiber connection because my electric provider saw a market for it. The Federal Government has no ******* business getting into utilities.

Biden's program didn't provide service for anyone.

The $42 billion internet program that has connected 0 people

The federal BEAD program makes little sense with the rate of private markets providing internet access.

Did you know that the Obama administration wanted an internet kill switch. Do you like the government having that much power over you ?

US President issues Executive Order that gives him control of the internet

Without even the faintest toot of a fanfare, President Barack Obama has enacted an Executive Order that outlines an extreme level of preparedness in case of crisis or emergency, including the ability to take over any communication network, including the internet.
