What Do the Most Powerful Get By Cutting Off the Internet

The Digital Equity Act would have expanded internet access to rural, disabled, veteran, and low-income Americans.

And I’m sure we’ve heard Trump called it “racist “unconstitutional” and viewed to kill it.

Republicans also just nuked the program providing hotspots to kids that didn’t have internet access.

So I keep wonder why - why are the most powerful killing internet access to those who infrastructure has left out?

So Starlink gets the contract. I got that.

But is that the whole plan — or just the cover for something more?

What do the powerful gain why keeping millions cut off from the internet?
