Biden makes rather banal forgettable tweet, gets an amazing response in the replies.

This guy rocks!

Downvote away, but it is a waste of resources and tax money to bring "high speed" internet to spread out, low populated areas. These people actively choose to live where they do, and to devote all that infrastructure to such a small group of people just is very inefficient, especially when you consider many of these people are older folks who have no interest in seeing their internet speeds go up a little.

This is a solution in search of a problem. That is just my opinion.

I mean, come on. What's more important? Farmer fudd being able to buy his seed online in 1 minute instead of 1.5 minutes, or a child in detroit getting a new computer lab in his underserved school?

The Turkish nationalist community is the most obnoxious political community on the internet. There are plenty of virulently racist groups online, but I haven't interacted with any others of that size which post pictures of dead people so often.

where are the rural people clamoring for this?

We don't build walmarts and airports and 7elevens all over the rural interior. Those people have to drive a ways to get to grocery stores, post offices, etc.

Turkey is "built on stolen land."

[Hindsight was 2020]

Wow Biden recognizing the Arminian genocide really pushed some Turkish buttons lol

High-speed rural internet would provide: access to modern news and social media to people who primarily get their news through Sinclair and right-wing talk radio, and allow remote workers to move away from urban centers. No wonder Republicans don't want it. (I don't think social media and online news are unquestionably good, but they're not completely dominated by Republican cult"party" talking points.

Millions of Americans, of all varieties of backgrounds, live in rural parts of America. It’d be a tremendous economic boon to enhance our connectivity via high speed internet. It’d enable access to educational opportunities, work opportunities, information, and improve the function of local government, healthcare, and other local facilities.

I can easily see someone 100 years ago living in a city in California ignorantly proclaiming the wastefulness of expanding our electrical grid to include rural parts of America. Pure ignorance and smugness.

Guys read the replies. This isn't about rural Internet access.

Given the replies. It appears it's all about the Armenian Genocide supposedly being a hoax. Or more importantly simply pointing out that America has had its own issues with Native Americans, the Vietnamese, Etc., which apparently constitutes an excuse.

[Mercenary]

Would be happy if we didnt allow for monopolies that price gouge.

Could get internet for the equivalent of $25 /mo before. Where I live now the special is 50 and itll go up to like 75 at the end of the special. It is ridiculous.
