      Would they really get the whole world or just the United States? Like, what do these companies hope to gain by giving in to one country while ignoring the other 150+ in the entire world? Getting rid of DEI for an international company makes no sense. Based on republicans own ideas of what DEI is, how does it even work for countries where white people are not in the majority?

      And what the hell would money even do for them if the US goes full fascism? Pretty much all the luxuries that rich people enjoy are built on the backs of regular people doing their jobs.

      I’m not arguing with you, I’m just saying this whole thing is fucking stupid.

      Reminder that Starlink (and T-Mobile via their home internet program) is bringing the modern internet to millions who couldn’t get anything more than conventional sattelite or dial up internet, both of which are comparable in speed to getting in your car and driving to the library.

      My point is that Starlink isn’t just a stupid toy for rich people to put on their RVs, yachts, and now planes, it’s many individual’s only way to connect to the modern internet.

      I hate Elon. I can’t hate on Starlink and the connectivity it’s provided to rural individuals with no other options. It’s really unfortunate that his name is attached to the work of the engineers that made it possible.
