The real good that will come out of Starlink isn't from people like you and I, it'll be from people very poor countries and regions.

The money you and I put into it are bootstrapping bringing Internet access to hundreds of millions who would otherwise not get it.

Not to mention Starlink also indirectly funding Starship, the first realistic attempt on a full RLV. That in itself is HUGE and can bring immeasurable good in the future by opening acces to space for many.
