Trump kills broadband grants, calls digital equity program “racist and illegal” - Lemmy.World

Probably shouldn’t have called it Digital Equity Internet. I could see where the confusion comes in.
They need to keep their base stupid.
Doesn’t seem like they need to work very hard at it tbh.
They already are, but they want the future generations illiterate, and absolutely desperate, via no education.
What would you call making sure rural areas, seniors, and veterans have equal access to digital services as most city dwellers?
The problem isn’t the name. The problem is Trump already hates the letters DEI and the word equity. He’s declared war on anything that attempts to dismantle institutionalized bigotry. And he doesn’t recognize that rural equity isn’t about race, hence him declaring it racist.
