  • But they rolled out electricity, and they rolled out PSTN, so the justification was found in those cases.

    Yeah, the justification was the federal government basically forcing providers to do that. Remember back in 2008 when we handed a bunch of money to telecom companies to expand their networks? Then they laughed at us and just kept the money and basically said fuck you? That also was a part of this act, or at least related to it, since broadband was added to it as an amendment in 2008.

    Anyways, point being the companies didn’t roll our electricity and pstn to rural areas out of the goodness of their heart or even a strict profit motive. It took a literal act of congress for it to happen.

    Yeah … No that’s not true at all. It’s crazy that you even believe that. I mean, I don’t think you do, I think you’re a troll with an agenda because believing that is insane.

    The only gaslighting going on is by the MAGA folks and QAnon conspiracy crowd. The reasonable people understand this is made up bullshit. Fuck even JD Vance just said it’s made up.
