It’s always hilarious when people want government to do stuff.  Because not only is government awful at everything?  It is excruciatingly slow at being awful at everything.

People want government to continue wasting hundreds of billions of dollars connecting US to the Internet.  When the government already acknowledged a decade ago that everyone was already connected to the Internet.  The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris Administration has wasted yet another three years and $42 billion on yet another new government program that has connected zero people to the Internet.

How are more and more people actually connecting to the Internet?  Via the private sector, obviously.  And via wireless connections, of course.  Via the networks built in the air rather than in the ground.  And as ever more people connect wirelessly?  Ever more cut their grounded cords.  All by its onesies, wired king Comcast is losing nearly 400,000 subscribers this year.

I’ll bet Comcast noticed that.  I’ll bet their fellow wired Internet providers noticed.  I know China noticed.  But our government didn’t.  Because our government remains dishonest and steadfastly impervious to reality. (more…)
