False. Ther are about 5 people in my neighborhood who just signed up. The company providing the service had to run 20 miles of line just to get to town.

Hurricane season has arrived....
- Thread starter The Tradition
- Start date
I'm old enough to remember when a "huge swath of America" was burning up in wildfires, and the POTUS at the time squawked about how "they should have used more rakes".
Still waiting for our current POTUS to claim these areas "should've used more mops".
Of course, maybe current POTUS isn't the complete dumbass that one was.
And if you aren't voting for Harris, you're willing to risk putting that dumbass back in office, again. You do have a choice on that.
I can only presume you have that confused with something else, and that the agency head isn't lying to Congress.

"In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans," Brendan Carr, the senior Republican commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) this month. "Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest."
BEAD is administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the Department of Commerce. NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson told lawmakers in May, "with BEAD, this is really a 2025, 2026, shovels in the ground project."
Not much you're going to do to "harden infrastructure" in areas like this.
Folks like Trad will scream to High Heaven that "we need to do something".
Then, then will sit back and actively do nothing to reduce our emissions that are making these problems worse. They'll simply parrot the Drill Baby Drill nonsense.
Helene blew up from a Cat 1 to a Cat 4 in 12 hours - something we'd never seen for 100 years or more of hurricane monitoring. Now, that's become a fairly common event. If Helene only grew to Cat 2, there would not have been anywhere near the amount of inland flooding we are witnessing.
These monstrous events are occurring with "just" 1-1.5°C of warming. It's gonna be a whole lot worse if we get to 2-3°C.
You never see me say "we have to doooooo something."
Certainly not to prevent climate change, which is a fool's errand.
Yes, we have to rescue people and rebuild from natural disasters.
That's going to happen no matter what happens with the climate.
FUNFACT:
When you run cabling, people can get access from MULTIPLE carriers
Starlink becomes a monopoly in perpetuity.
You literally posted, bitching about Biden and "the army" to get in and "do something", Cletus.
Eliminating our carbon dioxide emissions is not a "fool's errand"
It is an absolute necessity, to ensure future hurricanes do not grow even larger and more devastating.
Climatologists told you for 2-3 decades that warming the atmosphere due to human emissions was going to make weather events more devastating and stronger. You just witnessed that here - another Cat 1 system that "blew up" in just 12 hours to another monster. That most assuredly had an impact here; cooler Atlantic waters would have meant a weaker storm; higher temperatures mean more moisture in the atmosphere - that's all the moisture that happened to fall on NC this time.
Yes.
I did. You bitched about "the army" and "Biden".
Then, you posted again about them 'bringing bridges'.
You're whining about them "doing something" in the immediate timeframe, but you absolutely refuse to "do anything" on the timeframe that would prevent the severity of the storms you're seeing.
blah, blah, blah... we already passed the tipping point. Doesn't really matter what we do or don't do now.
60 Minutes had an eye opening segment tonight about insurance companies screwing their customers in Florida out of payments. Getting an assessment from an adjuster, then slashing the payment by 90 percent or so after another person looks at it, and leaving he original person's name on it.
