Fantastic article, @sparkyabraham
More thoughts on this piece, âtwas late... @sparkyabraham
1) Itâs really fantastic, very educational, should be free and off any paywall IMO (not sure if Current Affairs does that).
2) I think you should continue it as a series. Youâre a great explainer and writer. And the

2) I think you should continue it as a series. Youâre a great explainer and writer. And the
issue is vital and a perfect example of the US systemâs flaws.
In regards to Part II, Iâd be curious to know how other countries operate their âtubesâ, broken down in simple language the way you wrote Part I... I know Germany, Korea, the rest of the developed world has better

internet speeds and far greater access than the US... so how do they do it? Can we improve on their models?
3) I was stoked to see the ALEC shoutout, since theyâve been fundamental in pushing state preemption on the issue, like they do across issues, across the country;

and Iâd just add that this governing model (ALEC politics and pay-to-play systems) logically leads to inefficiencies and âmoat makingâ for countless industries. Itâs what ALEC is designed to do; and breaking their model is fundamental to moving federal infrastructure legislation,
because companies will respond, as you mentioned, fiercely in a fight for their lives.

all branches of gov and life, including the judiciary of course... the Court, even some of the âliberalâ bloc, would have a field day if a nationalization as you described occurred. Not to mention getting a majority of supporters in Congress.
That would require dismantling

ALEC politics, which is why ALEC and the corporate right spend a stunning amount of resources pushing legislation that either keeps our governing systems in place, or worsens them... not just union busting but all the gerrymandering, Bopp election law, anti-disclosure stuff, etc.
4) In terms of low satellite Starlink, Iâd say Musk has pulled off some remarkable technological innovations and has routinely proved doubters wrong, regardless of his Twitter nonsense and poor labor practices.
Although the concept isnât proven, the physics make sense... and it

Could you imagine if the internet was accessible in the remote/poor parts of the country and world? Think of the minds activated, the progress possible, of having human beings empowered like that.

not sure about ascribing motive to Muskâs expansion into space as being motivated purely by profit.
Does that play a role? Sure, but as with Neuralink, the goal seems to be bigger, or at least more nuanced, than that...
That said, Starlink etc has not yet been proven, and

canât be counted on to distribute its wares equitably, since the networks will be run by private entities... which sort of brings your article full circle?
5) Which brings up my last comment/question, one CA and its fans would prob hate on: Could NASA pull off what SpaceX has/is

I donât think I have the answers to those questions. But theyâre worth considering; and theyâre part of why I consider myself a âmarket socialistâ (I think, pending... frankly, who cares)
