I wish that gravity fails and sends him into space.

Fiber all the way, especially if it is owned by the community. That would simply ensure that Musk nor TelCos can't fuck around with people. Fast speed, no data caps, low prices, and not being at the mercy of some wealthy jackhole would be wins across the board.
Also, if America has a 2nd Civil War, fiber will be much more safe than relying on sats - those can be shot down, or worse, Musk can cut off the good guys from having internet. It is simply harder to sabotage if the wires are underground and cannot be readily seen by hostile actors. As seen in Ukraine, the fucker has absolutely no compunctions against disabling the internet at key moments.
Watching the children whack off and being judgemental is Yahweh's job, not his ministers.

Hopefully, the Democratic Party will go the way of the Whigs, and take Newsom with them. I want a genuinely good party whose mission is to overhaul America in all ways. UBI, a renewed Constitution, universal healthcare, the extinction of ICE and border patrol with minimized police, ect.
The America we have is a sick creature, that cannot be saved by Geronocrats.
If you drop the "might" that headline would be accurate, I wager.
I wouldn't mind seeing a ValvePay system. 1% transaction fee, available to anyone who wants to use it, including OnlyFans, Itch, Kagura, DLSite, and others. Valve can team up with Japan, the EU, and Brazil to handle their respective ends of the business, so that Valve can focus on the United States.
Be the change you wish to happen.
On my part, I am practicing with my gun. Way I figure, the antifa states will need soldiers, and someone has to be meat for that grinder. I might as well be among them, so that skilled people are free to do what must be done, whatever that may be.
Same. I can talk about combining Socialism, UBI, with a dash of heavily regulated capitalism that has wealth caps, and downvoters crawl out of the woodwork.
Anyhow, toss me a link to one of your most detailed posts about this attention economy thing? I can't promise to like it, but I should see if there are bits that would fit into the "Universal Ranked Income" system that I have been tinkering with.
I legit think that American citizens would flee to Canada and Mexico to escape inflation and ICE. They really would be happier in someplace that wasn't a shithole.
If there is a mutual defense pact, I hope that there is also an agreement to help the good guys in a 2nd American Civil War. Having trade, transport, and military cooperation would go a long way towards making this shitshow end sooner.
I will also make a prediction: Iran and other Middle East nations that have been attacked by America would have agreements with Mexico and Canada to be granted passage and support for operating within the US. It is pretty much Behind the Bastard's universal theory of "fuck that guy.".
Honestly, it sucks that execution of ICE as a class has to be considered: it isn't unlike the cruelty they inflict on people who didn't deserve to be abused nor killed.
That is where the distinction lies: deservedness.
Advocating for almost the same thing is icky. I cannot be said to be innocent, for supporting this method to end the madness. 😞
Like cancer, greed doesn't know that it is killing its host.
