    so you’re saying it takes the same amount of time, money, and effort to paint a room that’s 100sqm vs one that’s 18,750sqm?

      No, they are saying that you have 100 times more resources, so you could do it if you really wanted.

        It doesn’t work that way because of how completely spread apart the US is. It would take much more money per square mile and much, much, longer to do.

          It is exactly how it works - that’s purely american exceptionalism… China, India, Japan (which is REALLY spread out, btw!) are also big and sparse, that doesn’t stop them from doing such things

        100 times more resources? wtf are you talking about? fiber isn’t manufactured in the US.

        manpower has an upper limit of what actually helps. ie: you can’t make a baby faster by getting more women pregnant.

        if you want to talk about money, Switzerland is literally founded on banking establishments.

        so what “resources” are you referring to?

        I don’t know if anyone told you this or not, but fiber and copper network lines have to be connected to function. you can’t just run them in one neighborhood and magically have them connect to another across the state.

          youre right and the only way to cross the desert is connect every square km identically to how you would a suburb, how could I not think of this?

          And those lines, we must put them in new now nothing like this already exists, what have usaians have been doing until now?? poor Cali cut off from the rest of the internet :(

          edit: Now I’m imagining markiplier driving an HDD across the Oregon trail every time he uploads a video so the east coasters can view it too
