> The other big problem is, a huge part of the country still has basically no internet. Infrastructure isn't free and while it's hilariously embarrassing to have slow speeds in "rural cities" (i.e. actual cities that just don't happen to be on the coast) simply due to capitalism doing it's worst - living in the middle of no where is an expense on society. It falls into the same camp as people who live in hurricane areas - the government bailing you out once so you can move is a fine idea (and the government needs to be providing sufficient funds for these people to actually relocate) but living in remote areas and living coastally in the south east come with lots of benefits to you... and costs for everyone else. I am A-OK with folks who insist on living in the middle of nowhere paying for it. Oh I'm going to add a big old caveat for people who were forcefully relocated - if you're living on Rosebud Indian Reservation then relocation really isn't an option.
