content: Some states/cities do this and make utility lines fiber optic cables for new developments (business and residential). Goes along with the solar panels added to new constructions as well. The problem always lies at the connection to that and the old stuff we paid $300 billion to have upgraded from copper to fiber which the telecommunication companies (phone companies) pocketed (this was part of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, when PAYGO was still mandated in Congress [bill cannot pass unless it is funded FIRST]). Cable companies got their own tax payer funded build outs too which is a separate amount. Let's see... $10 billion to the ITER project over 10 years. ~$750 billion per year for every year in the Iraq "war" which was on top of the normal military budget, not included. Multiple Trillion dollar bank bailout. I don't have fiber based internet for $45 a month with 100/100 Mbit up/down with phone+TV included. My electrical plant is natural gas (in a fucking desert which hosted the Solar I and Solar II power plant, decommissioned because of some bird species it didn't kill off over its lifespan. Successful design used for Solar Tres in SPAIN). I have no fucking clue what a war was supposed to do for my benefit. I never have, nor ever will, use a bank (credit union user since before they were a thing). Someone owes me a lot of money ($84,242.72 for all 330,000,000 US population. I'll call it $100,000 for interest owed).
