trump kills digital equity act.

WOW, you must learn how to read, 42,000,000,000 spent, and not ONE person connected. Where'd all that money go? An honest person would want to know.
Show where $42 billion has been spent
It has been allocated for nationwide projects

These projects are supposed to begin rolling out in 2026. Why would you expect people to be connected to networks that are not completed?

Show where the money went, simp.
 
It provided funds to develop an internet backbone in rural areas. Internet is as vital to survival today as electricity and telephone were a hundred years ago.

And it is not going to be done in four years. It will take a while, but be worth it
It hasn't connect a single household to the internet. My power company took less than a year to run gigabit fiber internet to my rural area.

Anytime Government sticks it's bloated bureaucratic nose into an issue the cost triples and the end result is substandard at best. At the worst the issue never gets fixed and the tax payer is always on the hook for the waste.
 
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.
Thank Goodness! Were have you all been? Even Jon Stewart has come out against this xiden scam

Show where $42 Billion is needed.


When you look at the timeline and trajectory of internet access across the United States, we begin to see the problem. In the years between 2021 and 2023 (when the BEAD funding was granted and the deadline for state roll out plan submissions) internet access grew from 80% to 83% for U.S. households. These gains largely came from new additions to areas that historically have not had access or where costs used to be prohibitive. With 13 million users added to networks in that timeframe, we can already see incredible movement in solving low access areas before a single dollar of the federal program has been used. By 2026, the additional investment private networks are making, as well as the flexibility in diverse types of network access, should increase internet access even more, just when the state and territory deployments are supposed to take effect.
 
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.
My rural neighborhood has been waiting 18 years for high speed internet...we were suppose to finally get broadband last year....for real this time, but it too was put off until this year and NOW, it looks like it will never happen....that stinks, BIG TIME.

In thinking it over, you convinced me.

Why not just act like a Conservative.
I got my Highspeed Internet…..Fuk everyone else.

The losers who don’t have access to internet live in rural areas and vote Republican. THEIR representatives voted against this investment.

So screw em
Give me my money back
