All true. It would be easiest to lay in heart of the city where it is most dense to attract more customers per square mile.
Ideally, the utilities are made public and regulated by the public, but nationalizing or bringing it under state control is an even harder political sell.
I’ll have to spread the word one way or another, which will be tough when so much is happening these days.
If it could be done, it would be in Seattle, given that the city owns its Utilities already.
I’m in Washington State, but I’m not a native of WA. I imagine they would be at least receptive to the idea.
Edit: WA does allow towns and municipalities to provide their own utilities.
Yeah, I’ve been saying for years that anything that isn’t us sleeping, fucking, or running after our food is just made up by people.
The system can and does change, we just need it to change for the better of the majority, and in a day and age where we are as connected together as we are, we have the capability to actually utilize the advantage we have in numbers.
Laying fiber lines can be done by the city. Building server farms can be done at the city level. The municipality, depending on size, would have the resources to make a MAN. I understand that the most difficult aspect of implementing it is politics.
I ask because I am tired of corporate pig shit finding more and more insane ways of extracting money from every single minutia of our lives. Especially with services like utilities that have a monopoly because of the physical nature of the infrastructure.
We will have claw back our rights one at a time.
I think we are getting to a point in the US where people are just going to start ignoring the government. People don’t subscribe to institutions with no credibility and don’t provide value in return.
So we could make value for shareholders
