Biden's jobs plan is largely a fig leaf to the poor rural voters that believe America has left them behind. Initiatives like 100% rural broadband are less about making the most efficient use of resources, and more about attempting to bring some money and jobs back to bumfuck America. The author makes the mistake of framing the Jobs Plan as inefficient in the goals it was designed for. It's not. Everybody knows investing in podunk towns that peaked half a century ago is a "waste of money". The Jobs plan contains these measures in an attempt to reduce the vast inequality between these places and wealthy "hub" cities that produce an ever increasing majority of US GDP. Will it work? I have no idea
