But it's the left and the Democrats that are going too far with policing speech and shyt.

 

[AngryBaby]

At this point i think getting donald trump elected was a bi-partisan caucasian effort that the likes of bernie, kamala, obama etc werent privvy too. I think theres some old white men on the left that helped sabotage this shyt and would rather have a trump win than a black woman one.

No way everyone is just letting this dude get away with all of this. Especially when they didnt even ask for an election recount

Trump Threatens To Withold Billions From States That Try To Make Broadband Affordable To Poor People​

Earlier this month we noted how California was attempting to pass a new law ensuring that broadband would be affordable to poor people. The original law proposed that the biggest ISPs would need to make sure they offered speeds of at least 100 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up for $15 a month to California residents who qualify for existing low-income assistance programs. It mirrored a similar law in NY State.

Offering 100/20 Mbps service for $15 a month would only cost the state’s four largest ISPs less than 1 cent on the dollar in revenue, while providing nearly $100 million per year in savings to low-income state residents.

But the proposed law (California Affordable Home Internet Act (AB 353)) was already poised for destruction after the bill’s sponsor, Democratic California Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, introduced a whole bunch of amendments behind closed door at the behest of telecom lobbyists.

The changes not only halved the bill’s required speeds (50 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up), it ensured that ISPs really wouldn’t have to adhere to it or see any oversight whatsoever. The changes not only eliminated any requirement that the ISPs report their progress to government, it effectively eliminated the California Public Utilities Commission’s ability to regulate broadband affordability entirely.

But even if the bill had survived, the Trump administration has been taking steps to kill it anyway. Boerner (who never really addressed her own ethical collapse in the face of telecom lobbying) claims that the Trump administration is also threatening to withhold billions in already awarded infrastructure bill grant money if states try to make sure that broadband is affordable to poor people:

“But the bill was still working its way through the legislature when, according to Boerner, Trump administration officials told her office that California could lose access to $1.86 billion in Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funds if it forces ISPs to offer low-cost service to people with low incomes.”

States are about to receive $42.5 billion in broadband grants thanks to the 2021 infrastructure bill (Republicans voted against). Through the NTIA, Republicans are now rewriting much of the bill to eliminate stuff like labor rights and low-income affordability requirements. The NTIA’s new boss, a former Ted Cruz staffer, has whined that affordable fiber optic broadband is “woke.”

Has anyone done anything before to actually fund new start ups to make broadband affordable for all or did the previous administration just cut checks to the telecoms for years & nothing got done

I know of no start ups in that regard. I've read off and on about various municipalities and newly-incorporated cities that funded their own rollout of the newest broadband infrastructure, but nothing above that level.

This is one of the best explanations you'll read on the federal//state/telecom shell game, one of the commenters is an author who has written books on the subject:
