White House officials said the installation was an effort to increase internet availability at the complex. They said that some areas of the property could not get cell service and that the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure was overtaxed.
If you live in the DC area, absolutely do NOT sign up for this service.
100% chance that the government, as well as musks companies would be monitoring you directly 24/7.

In any healthy democracy, this would have been seen as a scandal exposing signs of corruption and would have likely resulted in the dissolution of the government and early election.
But the US is not a healthy democracy.

Besides the security concerns, I want to know what they’re using it for, and how much bullshit they’re hiding by avoiding the official network.
It’s certainly not a speed and convenience thing.

Given it’s unrepresentative voting system I think how much is enough to be a democracy. T hot take for people that see democracy. Two parties to choose from is just one more than a clear dictatorship. If neither actually represents you then yeah it’s not healthy .

Agreed, except for one point. It’s in oligarchy. Our “dictator” was just selling cars on the White House lawn. Capitalism won to get to it’s late stages, happy to let racist hatred and russian influence fester for continued capital self-interest
