because the government somehow lost its ability to execute any meaningful project especially under time constraints
The government has agreements in place with all of the carriers to reestablish cellular communications. The first phases are around emergency communications for first responders and recovery. The next priority is restoring power to light up recoverable infrastructure.
There a plan, and the people coordinating this stuff are good at what they are doing. That doesn’t mean your uncle will be back watching Netflix - the priority is restoring basic services so that you get closer to normal quickly.
funny cause sergey is building exactly that - private companies for the win :)
Areas in need of humanitarian aid provided by airships is a too-small niche to (re-)develop entirely new flight technology.
Geeks like blimps, and they need a story, that is all that is.
Then came the US around year 2002 and forced the country to a free market, and paradise was lost. Everything is US level now (more expensive, better service is even more expensive, nothing is guaranteed, you get bombarded by advertisements, and other spam types) and the company can no longer provide universal coverage and is now operating at a loss.

It’s modern colonialism.
All of the 25 000 000 000 000 dollars the US generates a year is vacuumed right out of the palm trees of the third world.
All the rest flows out of this.
The US does meddle a lot with other countries, but the main motive IMHO is usually either to further some misguided ideological program or to keep Americans safe (kind of like how Russia's interference in Ukraine these days is motivated by a desire to keep Russians safe in future decades) not to extract wealth.
US meddling is, as you say, a function of them already having a ton of money and trying to use it to pursue their foreign policy.
Well, that's the motivation it pretends/claims to have in any case.
But you're right in that its pretenses/delusions are very similar to the US's in this regard.
