This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Another clear lesson that "corporations are not your friends". When someone tells you that public funding of community -owned infrastructure is bad, have a drive down a federal highway and reconsider.
here's one they circulated in local papers falsely claiming that Charter broadband is super affordable and that having the city-owned utility offer cheap fiber is a waste a money
most of the claims of Charter pricing, and the costs of the project they're criticizing, are completely made up

The most insane part of this proposed legislation is that it's retroactive, making past collaborations prohibited.
I'm reminded of how before 9/11, the Bush (Cheney) administration was desperate to gin up a new Cold War with China. That agenda never died.
