Analysis of broadband affordability deemed "extraneous" by FCC chair.

The Federal Communications Commission is ditching Biden-era standards for measuring progress toward the goal of universal broadband deployment.

The changes will make it easier for the FCC to give the broadband industry a passing grade in an annual progress report. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's proposal would give the industry a thumbs-up even if it falls short of 100 percent deployment, eliminate a long-term goal of gigabit broadband speeds, and abandon a new effort to track the affordability of broadband.

Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act requires the FCC to determine whether broadband is being deployed "on a reasonable and timely basis" to all Americans. If the answer is no, the US law says the FCC must "take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability by removing barriers to infrastructure investment and by promoting competition in the telecommunications market."

So you didn’t notice that as soon as Kamala got the nomination from the DNC that her strategy entirely changed because she picked up Biden’s advisors

Nope. I noticed zero changes from her positions as VP.

Things are five times worse for the Palestinians now?

At least that much for Gazans.

Israel attacks kill more than 80 in Gaza as starvation intensifies

Gaza: 875 people confirmed dead trying to source food in recent weeks

Gazans tell BBC of extreme hunger as UN condemns Israel-backed aid system

Israel condemned by 25 nations over "inhumane killing" of Gaza civilians and "drip feeding of aid" as war expands

Terror and chaos for Gaza’s people now entering the ‘death phase’

Stop pretending this is a win

Stop pretending that Trump actively covering up for Israel that allowed things to become 5x to 10x worse is not a massive loss. YOU HELPED MAKE THINGS MUCH WORSE FOR GAZANS. Why don't you care that because of the cover Trump is giving Israel, Israel arranged the food distribution system to kill 875 Gazans? Why don't you care that because of the cover Trump is giving to Israel, Gaza's people are "now entering death phase"?

So here's an article from Newsweek and noting the change in her campaign strategy

https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-campaign-leaning-losing-strategy-opinion-1974332

200,000 people have died in Gaza most of that occurring in 2023 to 2024. Who was president during that time?

Whatever other stats you have are irrelevant since the genocide started with Joe.

What's really fucking awful is that Trump is actually done more to help Palestinians than Biden dreamed of doing and that's just because Trump is fucking around with Netanyahu not because Trump gives a fuck about Palestine.

Here you want to talk about material changes that changed in 2025?

Well Biden restricted funding to UNRWA directly contributing to the death of probably hundreds of Palestinians that desperately needed that Aid.

Biden threatened the houthis to get them to stop bombing Israel ships where Trump did not give a fuck and made a deal with the houthis as long as they didn't attack American ships he didn't care what they did. Israel is currently suffering a major port shutdown due to the houthi blockade which was only possible because of trump.

Trump did secure ceasefire initially when he's got into office Regardless of what he did and how he did it he did get a ceasefire which is something that Biden failed over and over and over and over to do.

And as ridiculous as Trump is in the Middle East is clear that he doesn't want a lot of war in the Middle East because he wants to look like a strong tough president that maintains World stability. That's a whole lot fucking better than Biden's full-throated support for the Palestinian genocide along with taking every single step to ensure that Israel could not be interrupted committing their genocide.

200,000 people have died in Gaza most of that occurring in 2023 to 2024. Who was president during that time?

This sets the number at 60,000 in Jan 2025. So if its up to 200,000, we know that 140,000 of those deaths were in the 6 months of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. So Gazan deaths per month under Trump were about 4x higher than when Biden was president.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Gaza_war

It literally says below that under Trump the "WORST case scenario" of the entire war is happening right now. You are actively defending Gaza's "worst case" genocide scenario and supporting its chief enabler in the USA. You don't give the slightest fuck about anybody in Gaza because you are in reality a right wing fascism supporter.

Gaza experiencing ‘worst case’ scenario of famine, leading aid group warns

[–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Now, it's not my fault you can't read, nor did the proper work to understand the 200,000 number, where it came from, and when it was released.

This is so fucking cute of you to use the Wikipedia number of 60,000, which has been heavily disputed, and then try to claim that this 200,000 number occurred only during the Trump administration. The Lancet had already released before Trump had gotten elected a notice or an article about how the death toll was significantly undercounted. In fact, a majority of the NGOs involved in that area since about 2024 have been screaming about how there is a famine going on and how this is a genocide.

https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/gaza-strip-ipc-acute-food-insecurity-november-2023-february-2024-december-21-2023

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine_in_Gaza?wprov=sfla1

But because you're so wrapped up in liberal propaganda, you wouldn't know that this famine has been ongoing for almost two years and has only just recently moved into its worst phase, phase five. Did you know there are four other phases before that? I wonder which President allowed those four phases to occur.

The fact of the matter is, Joe Biden allowed a genocide to happen, unrequitedly, and then lied to the American public about it.

https://internationalpolicy.org/publications/the-biden-administrations-false-history-of-ceasefire-negotiations/

You might be able to make an argument that for the American people, a Democrat administration might have been better, but for the Palestinians, it would have been the same.

Besides, this goes to my point that if the democrats hadn't been so fucking genocidal towards the Palestinians, they might have won the 2024 election, but who fucking knows?

It's almost like I'm advocating for the position that the majority of the constituents the Democrats represent actually want and not the bullshit they keep feeding us.
