42B in tax dollars seems like a lot, but 8.5 million homes and small businesses works out to just under 5K each. That's not too bad.
Isn't StarLink a much more cost effective use of tax dollars that could be much more rapidly deployed? I understand this is all political horseshit, but it begs many questions.
