“Three years ago, Biden rolled out the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD), allocating $42.5 billion to bring high-speed internet access to rural America. And not a single home has been connected to the network.
Lawmakers and internet companies blame the slow rollout on burdensome requirements for obtaining the funds, including climate change mandates, preferences for hiring union workers and the requirement that eligible companies prioritize the employment of “justice-impacted” people with criminal records to install broadband equipment. “

After This Failed Program, Does Anything *Work* in Joe Biden’s America?
It’s White House appointments like Tyler Cherry that reinforce my belief that the left isn’t really in charge and that the White Hats are forcing the Biden team to appear as ridiculous/out of touch as possible. The Communications team is often the face of the party in power, and Conservatives and left-leaning normies do not like having what this man (?) stands for shoved in their faces every day.
