New Yorker Snob on MSNBC: Trump's White Male 'Lower-Educated' Base Just Too Dumb

For satellite based TV and internet you have to have a line of sight view of the satellite. Not available in all locations. Cell signal, bandwidth are similarly not there in many places, and not just in flyover country states, either.

Do NOT expect to get high speed or streaming bandwidth reliably, either.

Correct!  The latency of a Geo-stationary satellite is outrageous to the point of not being usable.  That's why Musk has, as a project, a planned network of thousands of low-orbital satellites for broad-band internet.  It's an ambitious plan, similar to the failed Motorola "Iridium" venture.

Yeah, well, AFAIC, that is like AT&T telling customers here for years how they were improving their network...(just not past the end of the sidewalk, which is most anywhere there aren't paved roads--a lot of ND)

Isn't AT&T a DHL system?  It's node-dependent.  Performance improves as distro nodes are added.

Not when you are in the badlands twenty+ miles from the nearest tower.

Like I said, they work fine until you get past the end of the sidewalk.

@Cyber Liberty 

I dunno about all that,but what I DO know is if you have a good land line telephone signal,you can stream movies and tv shows with no problem with a ROKU. The only way you will lose a signal is if the phone line goes dead.

The worse ones don't even own cars. They have "car services"  under contract to drive them around town.

One of the "NYC Finest" examples of this is BaBa WaWa,who has never owned a car,or even had a drivers license in her entire life.

Which didn't keep her from doing adds for Esso gas back in the 60's,though. The one I remember showed her at a Esso gas station in a convertible,smiling for the camera,and saying "I only buy Esso gas for my car because.....". She even talked about this once on "The View",and explained that she had to be taught how to start the car and put it in gear as she was seen "driving away" from the pumps.

It never even seemed to occur to her how hypocritial this showed her,a "news woman",to be.

And grow their food. And built the roofs over their heads. And grew the wool or cotton for their clothes.

That said, there are a good number of conservative people in the design and manglement areas at many of the tech companies whose products these snobs rely on. Snobs like that are just stupidly ignorant.

While working in NYC @mortarman  --- we used to call these people the "overeducated and underlaid".

My wife and I are highly educated, and we probably would have voted for him if he shot someone in the street, believing that person well deserved it.

If I had my way, ALL THE FOLKS involved with the coup against Trump would have been publicly dispatched for sedition and treason, and to date, not one person has been indicted.  Justice does not exist in Washington!!!

The people that are deplorable are the so called journalists at these MSM organizations.  I would revoke the license for CNN to broadcast.
