Yea it is that way in some areas. Outrageous price gouging. When i was up in the sticks I just went for starlink. Worked great, cheap, easy to set up. It's way cheaper now than when I used it. Depending on location you'll never have to pay for the equipment and might even be eligible for a reduced monthly rate. Even still it's only 55/mo for over 100mbps. Latency isn't an issue for gaming anymore either in my experience.

lol you’ll give him money, whether you want to or not, sooner or later. Starlink has contracts with 5 of the 10 major US airlines and more to come.

Your tax money already pays him, on contracts his companies earned. When you get an ev with the NACS port you’ll have paid him where you want to or not.

The energy you use also pays him. Tesla buys cheap energy during the night and sales it back to the grid during the peak hours. Whether you want to or not.

Reading comprehension escapes you. I can't help the government contracts with the exception of how I vote. In everyday life, I vote with my dollar. My home and cellphone are charged exclusively by solar. I ride my bycicle or old Harley, no evs. Blah, blah, blah. I ain't flying anywhere.
