NonilexCarr's proposal, which was released on Thursday & is scheduled for a vote on August 7, criticized the previous administration's approach. Carr intends to focus the next <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FCC</a> inquiry on the statute's "is being deployed" phrase rather than looking at whether broadband has already been deployed.

NonilexGenerally, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Democratic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Democratic</a>-led commissions have found that the industry isn't doing enough to make <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/broadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#broadband</a> universally available, while <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Republican</a>-led commissions have found the opposite. Democratic-led commissions have also periodically increased the speeds used to determine whether advanced <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/telecommunications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#telecommunications</a> capabilities are widely available, while Republican-led commissioners have kept speed standards the same.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FCC</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DigitalDivide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalDivide</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Elitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Elitism</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Classism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Classism</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/AccessInequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AccessInequity</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EconomicInequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EconomicInequity</a>

Kat Earthren Liu<a href="https://zirk.us/@jordinn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jordinn</a> I've said this before elsewhere but whenever I think of how we can address <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ClimateDisruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateDisruption</a>, I always run up against our extreme <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EconomicInequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EconomicInequity</a>.

The same for taxes & penalties on any other kind of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/consumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#consumption</a>. Also, to circle back on our earlier discussion about liberals and consumption, lefties do A LOT of traveling, which is ecologically expensive. Whenever I bring it up, it's dismissed.
