Friendly reminder that the Obama Administration invested billions in broadband companies, in an effort to encourage them to build out their fiber plants and improve access speeds.

Do you know what they did with that money? Blew it on useless upgrading projects like digitizing their old drafts.

May as well have flushed it down the toilet. I'm perfectly fine with government imminent domain-ing that shit and selling it back to people at fair prices. Business didn't build those networks, government hand-outs taken from citizens' tax revenue built the network in this country.

There will be a point where people strike back against ISPs by attacking the infrastructure itself. If they won't upgrade it, damage it and make them upgrade it.
