John Stewart only realized the madness of $ 40,000,000,000 in the wide range and his reaction is invaluable

Central comedian John Stewart said on Thursday that he was “unable to speak” after the New York Times Ezzra Klein explained the lengthy operation to carry out the rural broadband proposal in the Biden administration.

The broader domain project of $ 40 billion has not started one project in the three years since the BIL Infrastructure Law was signed in 2021 by then President Joe Biden. Klein spent a few minutes to walk in Stewart, increasingly through the 14 -step process for the states to obtain a rural wide range.

Klein said: “Step 12: Countries must manage a competitive process without the grant.”

“O dreaded my God,” Stewart shouted while Klein continued to explain the process. “This is step 12 … After all this was done?”

“Yes, none of this could happen along the way here. We have now lost 17 applicants,” Klein answered. “So far 30 of 56 have completed step 12.”

Klein continued to determine the process, through the last two steps, which included countries that submit proposals to the National Communications and Information Administration (NTIA), and NTIA review the proposals before giving passing programs. Klein said that three of the 56 judicial authorities had reached step 13, when Stewart suffered.

“I am unable to speak, Ezra,” Stewart said. “Frankly, as it is, uh, much worse than I imagined. But the fact that they am amputated their legs on this is what is very amazing.”

The Biden Administration included many regulatory obstacles in the plan, including the request of Internet service providers participating to participate in environmental initiatives, which require the use of union workers from other detailed requirements in 98 pages document.

The Biden Administration has similarly paid more than $ 7 billion for a program that has only established seven electric car charger from April 2024.
