Obviously 7 million people didn’t move there over the course of this year. If that’s what you thought I was getting at, I’m not surprised you were confused. Conditions have changed, but are people reconsidering their own decisions?

Nope, namely if you suggest they decide to move. But other taxpayers has to pay to help them continue comfortable live as they live now.

People don't decide where they want to be born.

Right, but your point seems to be getting at Starlink owing you a functioning dish in your climate, which is just kind of an odd take. There are dozens of products that are a bad fit for where I live.

If it makes economic sense, I'm sure they'll fix it or someone else will do it better eventually. If not, maybe the municipal governments can subsidize something that works there?
