Vice President Kamala Harris has announced the formation of a new partnership to help provide internet access to 80% of Africa by 2030, up from 40% now.
Didn’t we just cut programs for all but one battleground state for this?
I remember because they were tone deaf to brag one state got to keep it.

Kind of ironic since Africa would be on par with US at that point. Around 20% of Americans also lack internet access.

I guess in this case it is profitable for the US to “help” Africa, and not so profitable to expand high-speed, reliable internet to rural America.
It feels really gross.
