[1st-mile-nm] Fwd: Aug. 21 - Chattanooga, TN takes on digital divide | Uber, Lyft to stay in CA

[Doug Orr]

Hard not to see this as a simple reinforcement for the power and benefit of
(targeted) socialism.

It's clearly a community good. Kids can do their homework without driving
to some fast food restyparking lot. It's not creating some new silicon
valley (5g claims might be suspect...) Equivalent value is not being
provided by incumbent "competitive" private companies.

So, in particular cases (eg, common, commodity infrastructure), socialism
creates superior outcomes. Eh?
