The Supreme Court will decide the fate of America’s low-income broadband fund (www.theverge.com)

Summary

The Supreme Court will review a case challenging the FCC’s authority over the Universal Service Fund (USF), which subsidizes broadband for low-income, rural communities, schools, and libraries.

The case questions whether Congress improperly delegated lawmaking power to the FCC and whether the FCC gave too much authority to the nonprofit managing the fund.

This follows the Court’s rollback of Chevron doctrine, which diminishes reliance on agency expertise.

A Fifth Circuit ruling deemed the USF’s funding structure unconstitutional, raising concerns about the future of affordable broadband access nationwide.

its kind of sad. that herd has been carefully curated over the last 2+ generations via propaganda, fear and 'ick' factors.

its very hard to logic people out of something they did not logic themselves into.

when the only way they'll accept information as true is when it comes from great leader, then it's a cult. unfortunately, deprogramming brainwashing is a difficult time-consuming process that's impossible to scale to large numbers of people. it's so fucking bad that they've weaponized the entire concept of "woke" aka aware of the propaganda bullshit

ignorance and blind obedience are praised, while thinking and questioning are demonized.

even when we go to war (and we will), they won't wake the fuck up
