Trump Pushes To Expand High-Speed Internet In Rural America (reuters.com)
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to make it easier for the private sector to locate broadband infrastructure on federal land and buildings, part of a push to expand high-speed internet in rural America. Reuters reports: "We need to get rural America more connected. We need it for our tractors, we need it for our schools, we need it for our home-based businesses," a White House official told reporters ahead of Trump's speech at the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. "We're not moving mountains but we're certainly getting started," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to preview Trump's actions. The White House described the moves as an incremental step to help spur private development while the administration figures out what it can do to help with funding, something that could become part of Trump's plan to invest in infrastructure. "We know that funding is really the key thing to actually changing rural broadband," a second White House official said. Reuters cites a 2016 report from the Federal Communications Commission, noting that 39 percent of rural Americans lack access to high-speed internet service.
Democrats quake with the knowledge that people will be able to live away from the big cities, draining their tax revenue, while still fully participating in the information workforce.
Yes. It is always a good thing to hand over taxpayer dollars to companies like Comcast to build out infrastructure. Oh I see, you were being serious?
Whatever nazis there are in the US voted for Trump, yo.
Only crack the nuts that crack. You don't put the ones that don't crack in the sack.
Trumpers quake with the knowledge that those successful Dems will retire with their stock portfolios into their underpopulated economically devastated wastelands, create boutique little shops that tolerate LGBTQ people and hire them or their kids (who might learn it's acceptable to be LGBTQ! or to tolerate people who are different!) and then how will they be able to be dicks to them then?
Bribing the Clinton state department and obtaining access to American uranium certainly counts as participation. New York Times headline, APRIL 23, 2015: Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal https://www.nytimes.com/2015/0...
No, I think they'll buy products from each other and pretty much ignore those unwilling to admit the world has changed, unwilling to change along with it and unwilling or incapable of meeting those changes to improve their own futures.
If they're lucky one of their conservative buddies will give all their tax money to some corporation that will expect them to work 7 days a week in some factory with no hope of advancement or even a raise, really, as all attempts to improve their salaries will be met with declarations of "Parasites!" and threats to offshore to China. Like how auto companies already do in the South.
