The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
The $42.5 billion federal program prioritized woke corporate mandates and handouts to the politically connected fiber and broadband lobby, while discriminating against far more efficient Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite technology, such as SpaceX's Starlink. Four years after it passed, it proposed spending tens of thousands of dollars per household, but failed to connect a single American.
It's amazing that proven technology was carefully rejected because of its yucky connection to Elon Musk who, even back then was suspect because of his outlandish ideas that merit and skill should be the drivers of employment. Just do the math, and Starlink is by far the most efficient answer to providing connectivity to rural America. But...why the hell are we spending one dollar on connectivity for anyone? Maybe I missed it in the Constitution, but as far as I can tell, it isn't the core mission of the United States government to make sure that every American has access to high-speed internet porn and cat videos. Why not also spend $42.5 billion on high speed trains, so people can get to work, or subsidize their cellular service and equipment? Oh...wait...we are doing that already. We piss away oceans of money on stuff the government has no business supporting, while simultaneously doing a horrifically inefficient job at it. Welfare? Airport security? Education? Infrastructure? They are all fantastically expensive boondoggles that no doubt pump lots of money into the coffers of friendly corporations and fellow-traveler nonprofits. But internet might be the silliest of the bunch! It is a perfect application of market economics, and the cost should be borne by the users. Why should I have to pay for someone else's access to the internet, when I am already paying for my own? Is it a natural right to surf busty lesbian porn and buy paper napkins and lipstick from Amazon? What this typical mess of a government program represents is the inexorable creep of what government should do. We have moved from the basics in 1791, to an incomprehensibly complex labyrinth of spending for results that never come. President Trump's rational attempt to rein in spending is a laudable beginning, but it must accelerate and expand for it to have any long-lasting effect on our budgetary woes, and our ridiculous drift away from the core function of government.

From the link:
While the Fiber and Cable lobby is still working with states still trying to work around the Trump administration’s priorities, Gigi Sohn has admitted defeat. In a recent LinkedIn Post, Sohn wrote that “BEAD isn’t going to do the job of closing the digital divide and we need community-based solutions to get it done.” Of course, to Sohn, “closing the digital divide” is a euphemism for the Biden administration’s crony and woke policies. She continued, “We still have a huge gap in connectivity and adoption, and will continue to do so even after the BEAD money is spent. And regardless of what policymakers are saying — the private sector won’t finish the job – if they wanted to/could, wouldn’t they have done so already? It’s up to state, county and local leaders to find other solutions.”
Who wants to tell her about Starlink?
This is a perfect encapsulation of the government's attitude towards anything non-government.

Just do the math, and Starlink is by far the most efficient answer to providing connectivity to rural America.
Truly a lifesaver.
Because I don't have a landline. And cellphones don't work. Regardless how much AT&T lies about coverage.
Before Starlink, if I caught you trespassing, I'd just shoot you because I couldn't call anyone.
With Starlink and VOIP, I can contact the sheriff.
Like I said, a lifesaver.

This right here is the difference between the Obama/Biden/Clinton and AOC wing of the Dems.
Obama/Biden/Clinton wing is all about graft. They cloak their graft in bullshit DEI initiatives. But it’s all fake and gay and just a way to steal tax dollars. It’s corruption but it’s “normal” corruption. They don’t want to rock the boat because their graft depends on the status quo.
The AOC wing on the other hand really believes in the DEI shit. They want to destroy everything.
Obama as bad as he was, at the end of the day was just a corrupt Democrat who got filthy rich along with his cronies while in office. President AOC will burn the country down.

Just like the Green New Deal, it's NEVER been about accomplishing a stated goal.
It's ALWAYS been about spreading around government cash to cronies and getting a portion kicked back in financial support for the party or campaigns.
Recall de Tocqueville: "The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers it can bribe the public with the public's money"

Between all of the taxes that I have to pay, nearly half of my income is being taken. The number of leeches and boondoggles is increasing every year. When the ratio of leeches to taxpayers exceeds 1:1, I will effectively be a slave.

The part that was unexpected was that aid programs such as this, USAID, EBT, etc. are close to 100% fraud and graft.

I'm giving you the rational for it. They did the same sort of thing to get landlines to rural areas. The rural areas likely don't have cell service either (from someone that needed to drive five miles to use my cell to call in sick).
Also, you are not going to get businesses in these areas without internet.

I live in the Oregon sticks. They ran the fibre optic line to cul-de-sac where our property lines start. However, it's another 300 yards to the actual house. That cable must be run at owners expense. None of us want to pay for it, so we're all on Starlink.

“I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the government, the government should not support the people.

So, I'm not 100% sure how, but my pretty darn rural town of 800ish got 1gb fiber optic installed 2 years ago.
I'd *heard* that the county had a grant...so are we *sure* that no households got connected through this thing? I mean, I'm sure that 90% of it was graft, but I know that somehow I've got faster internet than most folks in the nearest bigger city.
Now, I *pay* for the internet access just like anyone else, but apparently there was some form of either state level/county level or federal level grant money involved in actually getting a company out here to run the fiber cables.
Once the *first* company ran the lines, a *2nd* better company came in and ran their own lines...but until that, the best we had was some pretty slow DSL or crappy satellite.

They saw was COVID was doing to the kids in school so I homeschooled for a year (Eternally grateful to Bluebell!!!). They then sold the house, banked a bunch of money, got the fifth wheel and headed out on the road. Kids are do on-line school and are doing very well. They have been in just about every state. They are loving it.

I think it'll be nukes, not coal.
Those mini nukes that Putin just announced. I think our military has also announced something similar.
Soon we'll able to power each wind turbine with its own little nuclear module.

These kind of issues have been on my mind recently. Government bloat is real and it's spectacular. My rule of thumb is that at least 3/4 of public funds allocated to any of these "basic human rights" (as the left calls it) is wasted, i.e., ends up in the pockets of people who are abusing their power and influence.
This is why government-provided and -mandated health insurance costs at least four times as much as it should and only about a quarter of social safety net spending actually helps struggling people. Don't even get me started on how our SS paycheck deductions would have resulted in six times greater retirement benefits if privately and conservatively invested.

So, I'm not 100% sure how, but my pretty darn rural town of 800ish got 1gb fiber optic installed 2 years ago.
I'd *heard* that the county had a grant...so are we *sure* that no households got connected through this thing? I mean, I'm sure that 90% of it was graft, but I know that somehow I've got faster internet than most folks in the nearest bigger city.

Mine didn't. I don't even have a phone landline, much less fiber optic.

I'm also near a small town of about 1000, got my fiber about five years ago. A new local company is building out their underground lines. They came back a half mile and went under a creek to get to my house. They are still building out ... not sure if they got any government assistance or not. The rate is fixed forever, at something like $100 for phone and 100 mbit (or whatever mega bit/byte it is).

According to recent surveys I've seen, majority of Jews - 75% will not be voting Mamdani. But that is not enough. The Catholics and Protestants should also not vote for Mamdani with same margins. Since Jews are 1-2% if NY, Protestants are about 30%, and a bit over 12% are Catholic, after Mamdani wins, we can definitely...blame the Jews!

I have been told that the cost of access to the shared right-of-way has been structured such that it is unreasonably expensive for any but the largest companies to even attempt to use it. That especially includes someone who wants to get together with a bunch of their neighbors to share the cost of more expensive access. I don't know how to find out if it's actually true. I found the statutes to be pretty impenetrable.

From the last time they claimed a million man march ...
There, in the middle of this mall is the Washington Monument, 555 feet high. But if we put a 1 in front of that 555 feet, we get 1555, the year that our first fathers landed on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia as slaves. In the background is the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial, each one of these monuments is 19 feet high.
Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and 16 and 3 make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19! When you have a nine, you have a womb that is pregnant. And when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there’s something secret that has to be unfolded.
... 1555 ? I thought it was 1619

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was yet another giveaway to states, territories to 'develop plans & apply for grants,' w/Broadband Cos. & unions all in, too. (Emergency Responder services were to be included & given priority.)
Now that the administration is on their a**es, things are moving! "West Virginia is ready with final proposal for broadband expansion, but concerns over coverage remain," September 14, 2025
As of late 2024 and 2025, FirstNet has announced new sites and coverage enhancements in multiple Pennsylvania locations: Luzerne County: New sites were activated in Drums, Hazleton, and Larksville to improve coverage and capacity. Cambria County: Coverage was improved in the north end of Johnstown. Indiana County: A new site was activated in the Black Lick area, etc.

But did you know, eligible uses for BEAD funds included planning, deploying or upgrading infrastructure, installing internet in multi-unit residential buildings, and funding adoption and workforce programs?

My fave Gavin Newsome quote for the day: "Joe Rogan is the Facebook of podcasts."
Apparently he was upset he didn't get asked on, and I saying he's now completely over it and doesn't care anymore. When he clearly does care! So he has to insult him instead.
This ahole has the world on a string, growing up with the privilege he did and sliming his way to the top of CA politics. And it's not enough. Clearly nothing is enough. He wants to be adored and fawned over. There's a hole in his soul he thinks this adoration will fill. Spoiler alert Gavin: it won't. Until you fill your soul with god.

After next Tuesday, there will be 'rooftop parties' a-plenty for many (ahem) 'unwilling participants' as 'celebrations' proceed apace. Anyone who isn't in-process of GTFO-ing now is forfeiting their ability to do so after the 'election'. I still don't understand how this MoFo even qualified to be ballot-worthy. I understand even less WHY any New Yorker with the smallest scraps of memory about 9/11 would even consider voting for this mofo. And yeah - Sliwa should GTFO.

Someone was saying they hope that New Yorkers don't vote for Mamdami even though Poly shows him winning, the reality turning out to be far from the hype. And it forces groups like Poly to have less influence. Who really knows, though!

Starlink. I got, I love it, I depend on it, but...
It's too damned vulnerable in a China/Russia/and maybe even the Caliphate vs us SHTF situation to depend on it in toto.
Fiber is much more "hardened" in that circumstance, both in the amount of distributed effort required to do large amounts of damage, and in the comparative ease of repair. Satellites can be taken out, en masse, with a killer sat that acts like a shotgun shell, and replacement can be prevented by taking out 3 or 4 launch sites.
So, lets do both. Different baskets, as it were.

A podcaster said the final debates between Cuomo, Sliwa, and Mamdami showed that Cuomo finally realized he had to run for this thing. That he got some good verbal jabs in. I might have to actually watch it.
I find it amusing that the media finally has to report the golden boy might just be Guilded gold and not solid gold. And it's the stupid auntie with the hijab story that's doing it.
Mamdami is trying to pedal back on that by making people questioning his lies out to be racist, show he's really the victim. Meanwhile some New Yorkers might be waking up to the idea that if you aren't a native New Yorker and you're making 9/11 about you, you might be an ahole. That maybe he doesn't get New York after all. Probably too little too late, but i appreciate any last minute hustle that might swing votes from Mamdami.

A) Watch it play out and mercilessly mock them on social media (so long as there isn't any vandalism)
B) React so swiftly and brutally that no one left in the aftermath dares suggest you were too swift and too brutal.
A handful of arrests and some footage of cops roughing up a couple smellies ain't going to do shit.

It’s one of the strangest spectacles in modern American politics. The high-flying professionals of New York’s white-collar class are now marching behind an avowed socialist, Zohran Mamdani. These are the same lawyers, traders, and tech specialists who once embodied the American dream. His campaign thrives NOT in the boroughs where poverty festers but in luxury neighborhoods like Park Slope and Williamsburg, where median household incomes exceed $200,000— he’s even captured 43% of the overall well-off Jewish vote, with that number rising to a whopping 67% when you look at the voters between the ages of 18 and 44.

I once asked someone how much of my money was "fair share" and the answer I got was "That's a stupid question." They can't give a number because they can't argue it without invoking feelings.

The fact is there is not a thing we can do about the coming demise of NYC. Nothing. The majority in the city want Mamdami, and they’ll get their wish in a week or so. Democracy in action. Fools and villains get to vote in our precious democracy.

"I switched to fiber and am saving $60 a month over what I was paying the cable company before."
That's the handshake promise I had, but I'll wait to see the first bill to be sure. "Taxes and Fees," unspecified, and uncapped.
But at least the fiber doesn't have unbundlable cable TV like the CATV company did. So I'm not paying the evil TV industry for crap I don't even watch anymore.
Kill your TVs.

Nah, Cuomo can never be allowed to regain the levers of power, NY and the nation will survive Mnadami, Cuomo can never be allowed to profit from his manifest evil and wickedness.

Survive?
The nation will because we'll blow the bridges leading out of NYC.
NYC? Not so much.

I forgot to mention, we're not really city, either. We're technically county.
Amazing what can be done when government isn't in the way.
Try getting fiber to your door in CA, even in a large city. Good luck.

I moved to rural south MS a year and a half ago and satellite connection sucked. It is slow & didn't work when raining. Last year a company called Conexon ran fiber optic throughout the area & I now have a very stable 1 Gig connection. It costs me about $100/month. I don't know if they got federal money for the infrastructure. The connection here is better than that of my place in the 'berbs of New Orleans.

I am hearing people say Mamdami won't do much damage to NYC because mayors don't have that much power. He's at the mercy of the council and the governor.
That is such a cop out. Look at the power Dinkins and then Giuliani had transform the city! And the health of NYC does impact the nation, whether we want it to or not. If Mamdami wins, all the leftist wanna politician roaches will scatter to copy his playbook. And some of them might actually have a more qualified resume, while being equally as commie insane. So they might actually do more damage.
I keep hoping he is like Eric Adams, got the role as a DEI hire and then cares more about the trappings of the job than actually doing it. But Mamdami strikes me as an actual believer. He will try to infect communism into NYC as much as he can before he leaves office.

After next Tuesday, there will be 'rooftop parties' a-plenty for many (ahem) 'unwilling participants' as 'celebrations' proceed apace. Anyone who isn't in-process of GTFO-ing now is forfeiting their ability to do so after the 'election'. I still don't understand how this MoFo even qualified to be ballot-worthy. I understand even less WHY any New Yorker with the smallest scraps of memory about 9/11 would even consider voting for this mofo. And yeah - Sliwa should GTFO.

Starlink doesn't.
The two times it did, you were running anything electric anyway. That's how bad the storms were.
Regular rain to heavy rain? No problem. Torrential downpours, yeah.

Was that the TV show with Claire Danes? I seem to remember that guy in that role.
Posted by: gp at October 30, 2025 12:08 PM (7imtn)
Yup. The character kept Danes in her job even though he knew she was bipolar cray-cray, was central to at least two of the worst intel defeats in US history (in the show, that is), and despite knowing that she was getting promotions by spreading her legs for every CIA officer and foreign asset she encountered, he never banged her himself.

I think it'll be nukes, not coal. Either way, the AI bubble will pop soon, and then it'll be the long, hard climb back to reality to find out what it's really good for, and what people will pay for.

I'm hoping that it won't be a big burst, because I want those nukes built.
Little known fact: the ease with which the internet has expanded over the last 10 years is a direct result of the dot boom. Thousands of miles of dark fiber were installed in the late 90s, then bought up later for pennies on the dollar. When the demand for long distance megabytes occured, it was already there.
Bui!d the nukes, either the bubble bursts, OR the hardware gets a lot more efficient, and - power for other shit.

Sliwa is not gutless. Plus, he makes sense when you listen to him. NY deserves what's coming.
Ole Curis should cut an ad with people jumping out of the WTC. Scorched earth. I'm sure the GOP handlers might object.

I don't know your costs, so I.can't speak to that, but Star link is not Dish ( or Direct).
My Sat TV goes out in a really heavy snow or rainstorm, and if the dish gets coated in snow, even in a comparatively light storm, it goes out. Starlink, no.
It has to do with how it works. The Dish is aimed at one single point - a satellite 22,500 miles up. That signal can be blocked. Starlink satellites (the plural is important) are lower and run on frequencies that are not as susceptible to water absorbtion as Dish, and the system runs like a cell network, where your receiver grabs the strongest signal from all the satellites in view, and there are usually more than 3 at any one time. This means that when one sat is blocked, it can switch to one that isn't. Plus, the antenna isn't a dish which holds snow, it's a fairly steeply tilted flat surface and it's heated.
Short version - my Starlink has stayed up through periods where my Dish failed.

NC did that in the 80s. A wee bit later the demographics changed a little (white Dems flipped GOP) and suddenly their majority was gone permanently.
