President Biden is heading to North Carolina on Thursday to announce $82 million in new investments to connect homes and businesses in the state to high-speed internet.

He will go to the Raleigh-Durham area in the critical battleground state to make the announcement, alongside Gov. Roy Cooper (D). The funding comes from the American Rescue Plan, which was the COVID-19 relief package Biden signed into law in 2021, and aims to connect an additional 16,000 homes and businesses in North Carolina.

The investment, according to a fact sheet from the White House, will also create jobs in manufacturing and construction to produce “Made-in-America fiber-optic cable that will build out internet infrastructure across the country.”

To get votes... from people who vote.

That's a troll, fyi, I've run into him a couple times now. If you drive him into a corner he'll just start name-calling and block you, so you can't debate him in the future. He does not seem to realize this does not prevent us from leaving our own replies to his posts for everyone else to discuss, without him.

Thanks for letting me know.

Echoing this. He's weirdly obsessed with anything that can even sorta kinda be used to shit on Democrats, and bothsidesism is his default response to literally everything. He will never cede ground on anything, no matter how compelling your counterargument.
