I struggle with a few general questions relating to the government extending private commercial services to markets that providers elect not to invest in:

Do we make the new potential customers subscribe, use it, and pay a monthly bill? What companies get to collect the bills? Do they pay the taxpayers back for the infrastructure capital improvements?

@HarryCallahan Nobody is going to be forced to internet subscription. That’s a bit silly. The rest can be found on whitehouse.gov

@TonyStark Let me first say that I am a lifelong Independent voting Down Ballot Blue because the GOP is a corrupt, racist bag of clowns wholly owned by American oligarchs. Just so there is no confusion. I pay a lot of taxes & I care how my money is spent.

My observation is that my taxes are used to build internet infrastructure for private companies to gain customers who will use my money to pay their internet bills to companies who had the chance to install lines but opted not to.

@TonyStark How is this not considered transferring my tax dollars to internet companies?

Maybe I missed the part where the internet companies pay back the government.

I think these are legitimate questions many taxpayers might ask.

I also hate the student loan bailout, all bailouts, and all subsidies. The PPP was a huge scam. Tax the rich & end Citizens United.

We can. And it’s a drop in the bucket.
