Starlink Internet 3 year Review...is it worth the cost? Thanks alot Elon!

What happens here

The presenter highlights that while Starlink costs $120 per month (or possibly $145-$165 for the mobile plan), it's a worthwhile investment given his reliance on good internet for his social media business and farming activities. He notes that fiber optic internet is now available nearby but expresses skepticism about its reliability based on neighbors' experiences. This leads to a discussion about government subsidies for rural internet and his opinion on wasteful spending of taxpayer money on projects that don't directly benefit American citizens. He stresses the importance of reasoned discussion and unity.

Goal: Josh discusses the $120 monthly cost of Starlink and compares its reliability to fiber optic internet, raising questions about government spending on rural internet infrastructure and broader political issues.
