trump kills digital equity act.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

"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.

And I believe no one on either side has any idea that a perfect world can exist.

Is digital equity the same amount of Zeros and Ones?

Exactly. Everyone gets their fair share of bits, as determined by the federal government. Once you've used your monthly allotment, your computer shuts down for the rest of the month.

Nope. It's One's and Zeros.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Nope. It's One's and Zeros.

There are plenty of lefty zeros who post on this MB.

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.

years ago Trump was accused of not renting to Black people and paid a fine

he has a history of being against woke programs and he doesn't care because he can buy his way out of any problem. Also he can sleep until noon and leave message to his people not to wake him.

Now he is saving money because as president he can just make statements and the repubs go crazy.

everything is fake but he is real well except his hair piece.

I really think Trump does not care if it helps rural areas.

If it had Biden’s name on it, it is gone

 

[BluesLegend]

'equity' isn't that Dem code for mooching deadbeat dead weight losers?

 

[BluesLegend]

The Federal Government has no ******* business getting into utilities.

Clearly. We would point out Biden's billions wasted on building 2 charging stations but Dems would get butthurt and run home to their mommas crying and throwing a tantrum.

Did you miss the part about no one was ever connected? We still have to use tin cans and string, and use a chop stick to tap out Google in morse code...

Watch when Bessent whispers "Biden" behind his shoulder.

Donny drops his shoulder and looks back over it with fear.

 

[BluesLegend]

The Dem idiots that wasted $300 million on a floating pier that killed one soldier, injured 60 and sank within a month should build something??

I'm beginning to doubt your connection to reality as well...

In your case the reality ship sailed long ago. Just sayin'.

We have no doubt about your delusional perceptions.

The Digital Equity Act didn't help rural areas.
