How many Starlinks could you buy for 42 billion dollars? About 84 million, because they’re about $500 each. That doesn’t include a subscription, however, which would cost extra, but it’s also the retail price of the units, which is maybe more then one should pay if getting 84 million of them in one go.

You should make a separate post calling on Trump to replace the broadband Internet initiative landlines with Starlink. Leftist heads would explode.

84 million is close to the population of half the states in the USA. Considering there would only be one Starlink per household. $42 billion would be enough to provide fast Internet to more than half the states in the USA.

Trump talked about this abomination of taxpayer dollars given out during Biden’s administration at many of his rallies. Who got the money? Someone did. I hope that DOGE con figure it out and expose it.

It’s a shame that the people on the left and the Democrats’ willing accomplishes in the legacy media refused to broadcast what actually was said at the rallies. They were only there hoping for a gotcha moment or worse, which almost happened in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Or you could supply one year free for 29 million households.
