  • 5G is super fast, and wow you Romanians are lucky. But here in America ISPs are grinches who charge you 49.99 for the first year and then increase your price to $80, which is a whole 60% mark-up. So before 5G home Internet was a thing, you only had one provider in the area you lived, and this lack of competition basically allowed them to price gouge us over the years till our bill got to $220 for 100mb. 5G was truly a life saver for my families budget. And you are right about cable Internet being more performant, but 5G did introduce some very much needed competition in the telecommunications space.




  • The war in Ukraine, has much more consequences for Europe and America, if Putin captures Ukraine then he won’t stop there. The war in Ethiopia, while truly heartbreaking was a petty feud between a really small ethnic group (Tigray) and the Ethiopian government, so it barely had any implications outside the horn of Africa. I’m Ethiopian and I’m saddened by the lack of coverage that war received and the lives lost but I understand to a certain degree, but I do also know that major media companies and their consumers just don’t care about what’s happening in Africa.
