Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
The FCC decided it wouldn’t be the “best” use of limited funds.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Yes it literally is, sometimes.
If I give sales tax breaks on healthy food, guess who that ultimately also helps?
If I subsidize apartments so people can afford a homes guess who that ultimately also helps?
If I just straight up hand poor people money, guess who that ultimately helps?
People become billionaires because they run large companies. Large companies make things people want.
Yes, sometimes it does but that doesn’t make them the same thing. You are quite dense. My literal point is that you took a comment arguing about not wanting to line Musk’s pockets with taxpayer money for Starlink as being republican in nature. Do you like him or something? I really don’t get why you are trying so hard here.

We weren't discussing musk at all. The person I responded to does not support subsidizing satellite internet, whole cloth. The comment they responded to was mine, expressing excitement over competition in this field.
Perhaps you're so angry because you fail to read effectively.

That's what this comment thread is about. Take a nap and reread it.
Seems more like a criticism of billionaires
If you don't like billionaires, tax them.
How do I tax them
Capital gains, luxury sales taxes, taxes on property and holdings, those are all pretty basic and don't even require new taxes, just rate changes.
Then there's new taxes, things like progressive taxes based on value of unrealized gains (currently before SCOTUS), which could include stock ownership over X amount of stock, etc.
There are more ways to tax people than can be listed, realistically.
No I mean how do I tax them. You told me to, lol
Vote for people who will. Do you need me to teach you how America works or are you just intentionally being dense?
The point is the subsidy and the person are different policies. That you see them as the same is very Republican.
