      Have you never been to small and poor /s countries like Germany where this sometimes is the best option for getting internet access? /srs

            I think it was the statement that Germany is a “small and poor country” that they were whaaaating about.

              They used that as sarcasm to highlight that Germany has no excuse for having shit infrastructure due to their wealth and economy size, unlike other countries.

                Thanks, at least someone got it. We are the third biggest economy on this planet and still have the shittiest internet connection a developed country can possibly have, and all of that is only because one corrupt politician said (as in “was paid to say”) that Television is the technology of the future. It’s getting better, but holy fuck, how could this happen.

                  People in my state in the US have to get starlink sometimes because our infrastructure is so poor. I overheard a conversation a few weeks ago while working out in the country. A woman was saying she hated giving money to Musk but there was no good option there.
