And every mobile carrier I’ve seen in the US in my region (the Midwest) has ridiculously low data caps on 4G/5G internet service.

Sounds like a problem the free and open market will solve via the invisible hand, or some other bullshit those farmers keep crowing on about, while collecting their government welfare checks, and covered by that free government crop insurance...

That doesn’t change the fact that virtually every facet of our lives requires internet connectivity.

It also doesn't change the fact that every cancer patient deserves the best possible care, but we're not building mega cancer treatment centers, to service 2 people.

But satellites offer another option for Internet access and acting like it’s completely irrational for these folks to have it is ridiculous.

Cool. Then let the individuals there pay the full cost of the entire service, minus the subsidies. Why do we give a flying fuck about what kind of service the free and open market is providing to them?

And yes, it's completely irrational to expect all the benefits of living in civilization, while choosing to live the farthest away from civilization as possible.

If they want connectivity, let them pay for it. Full cost. They don't want to pay for liburual indoctrinations skewlz in cities that are forcing kids to become trans, well I don't want to pay for their internet access, period. Which includes all of the pollution each satellite causes.
