        The Heartland & rural America is overlooked, ignored & minimized in their own country. Only metropolitan, urbanites seem to matter.

        Nothing like blaming the rest of the country because some people want to keep living in the 50s for the rest of their lives. Not.Sorry.AtAll

        Not all coffee houses are Starbucks and not all stores are Wal-Mart. You are saying large success determines worth of humanity?

        Perhaps if they weren't so culturally backwards, alienated, afraid, homogeneous, and religiously intolerant, they would have more jobs now.

        Exactly. All those coal miners can go pick produce since GOP farmers routinely use undocumented workers. Picking doesn't require a degree👌🏾

        That's their problem. GOP philosophy. Obama was the first president who tried to expend access to these people. And they hated him.

        Because it's really expensive to run the fiber optic out in the middle of nowhere. There's not really a cost benefit.

        Too much latency. I use a big antenna on top of my house that's​pointing at another antenna. It's slow but it's better than nothing.
