Regulations

One of the achievements of the Biden Administration was the infrastructure bill which included $65 billion for supplying broadband to all Americans. Almost four years later not one person has been connected. This illustrates the dyer need for changes in regulations as the country brings back industries from overseas. The government placed so many regulations on the broadband project that no construction company wanted the job. Things like hiring only union workers, aged people and various minority groups like LGBTO and native Americans. By the time they get this project underway fiber optics will be replaced with satellites. This is already done with Elon Musk's Starlink system but the government would not use that because they claimed it would result in a monopoly. Some day in the future the government using subsidies will hire some company to put up a system to compete with Musk. The Bill also contained $7.5 billion for charging stations but only a hand full have been installed. The reason is that the grid is not capable of handling the extra power draw. If a private company had been hired to install these units they would have quickly pointed out that they could put in the chargers but there would be no power to them. Government regulators lack the business experience to properly carry out the request of congress. As the country prepares to double the industrial base there is a need for a review of regulations.
