Taxpayers pay for libraries too, despite most not using them. What's the point of the state or taxes if not to push society in a better direction?

20Mbps isn't even a lot.

Federal policy is not targeted at your personal use case. 20mbit up is an entirely satisfactory BASELINE for residential internet access in 2024. You’re so far into a bubble that you can’t even see it.
I personally like libraries, but you have a point, maybe we should put the money that goes toward library taxes to better use.
We’re talking about you saying the FCC should define broadband as requiring gigabit upload speeds minimum.
