No sooner do I write an article about the Democrats screwing up a massive infrastructure build of EV chargers, despite having $7.5 billon to spend, having built 7 out of the 500,000 target, but now they’ve repeated the process in another area, rural broadband, this time despite a $42 billion budget:
FCC commissioner Brendan Carr posted to X a few days ago, “Mostly, the $42.45B is just sitting there. Not even one shovel’s worth of dirt has been turned.”
Zero! That’s right folks. After more than two years the number of rural broadbank hookups under this scheme is 0, zero, ZERO – 👌 for you White Supremacists out there.
The funny aspect is that all this uselessness comes as a direct result of other Lefty obsessions:
The infrastructure act is typical Bidenomics, loaded up with rules and regulations that make it impossible to get anything done quickly. As Carr put it, they include “rate regulation, thumb on the scale for government-run networks, technology bias, union preferences plus many more problems.”
… “many of the broadband builders that would normally bid to do this work are not expressing interest in taking these dollars.”
But the following X-comment best captures the blind stupidity of this particular piece of State Worship:
