"I can complain about Starlink raising their prices, but it's the only genuine option we have," former Nebraska state senator and Republican Julie Slama told the Washington Post last month. "Once they have rural customers on their service with no meaningful alternatives, they're free to raise prices at will."

Yes, that is what everyone has been warning about for years and why we want the communication monopolies torn down... Fucking leopards running loose out here eating faces and they still just kinda shrug and go "wish there was an alternative to letting all the leopards run free eating our faces".

To be fair, if you've ever had to use HughesNet, a leopard eating your face is a welcome change of pace.

Goddamn HughesNet. I had vehicle dealerships on that fucking piece of shit for their parts system and payroll. What a horrible service, for thousands of dollars a month.
