FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr on Friday wrote that President Joe Biden has not connected one American with high-speed internet with $42.5 billion in funding from the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill.
“In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest,” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner wrote.

Dang that’s a lot of **** right down the toilet.
10% for the big guy!
Does this nation even have 10 years left?
Do we even have 5 years left?
It’s just lies, lies, lies, lies and more lies all of the time.
Don’t forget 10% for The Big Guy.
Even the Washington Post printed this fact:
“President Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years.”💸💸💸💸
Dennis Prager had Ruchir Sharma on his program recently. Sharma has a book called "What Went Wrong With Capitalism." He spoke of how for the past 20 years, there has been a total ot 3,000 regulations per year implemented for a total of 60,000, yet only 20 have been revoked.

42 billion would have bought a lot of ammo for Ukraine. /s
Musk has done more to bring internet to rural America than Biden or any Democrat. The fact that they are still pissing away money on broadband when starlink has pretty much fixed the problem is government in a nutshell
Joe responds, “OOPS!”.
The corruption is so bad that we can’t build anything anymore. We fund a project and 90% of the funding is stolen.
Everything not nailed down is being stolen...
Either we’re at the end of this experiment, or the law is coming... not sure which just yet.
They’ve been working the past two years in our town laying conduit to run fiber through; folks a few miles south of us already are hooked in, never had internet before.
Not taking the bet. None of this largesse is supposed to actually help people. If you actually help them, then they won’t need help anymore, because they’ll have already been helped. And then there won’t be any money in the budget to help them. So you see, appropriating money to help people is compassionate. Using the money appropriated to actually help them is mean spirited.
Bet the “big guy” got his 10 percent, even if not one person got High Speed Internet.
You would think, that this along with the 7 charging stations built for billions of dollars would be a national scandal, yet the lead story is FJB’s star-studded fund raising in L.A.
They probably wrote in all sorts of mandates for small & minority owned businesses to do the work and found out that few firms could qualify to get that funding.
Come on man, times have changed, it’s a brave new world now. You are just going to have to be more flexible, You can’t continue to hold on to those rigid principles. Not everyone can live to your expectations or standards...
This money wasn’t for connecting the interwebs. This was walking around money for the connected.
😂🤣😝🤭
I was gonna suggest just sending it directly there but our idiots here would do just that
