But does that mean the government should be worrying about making sure everyone has a good car, a good home, good food, etc.? Seems like broadband is pretty far down on the "basic needs" list.
- GHFigs 18y agoYour point is unclear. Is it your belief that the government ought to only fund "basic needs"? If so, you must be very disappointed with its current spending. If not, I don't understand why funding expansion of access to broadband (something the FCC already does to some extent, by the way) is a bad thing, given that for pretty much everyone that has it already, it's been a good thing. Your prior argument for this seemed to be that poor people who don't deserve it would get it, but that fails for a whole host of reasons. So, I'm not really seeing the downside here.
