This is a common Brazilian issue you're dismissing.

Very fitting.

How is it fitting?

A brazilian favela is not a representation for a global satelite network which consumes and produces a lot of energy and co2 to be send up and poisens our atmosphere when theybreak down.

There was no evaluation of the obvouse shitty problem in such areas.

And as i said, metal tubes do break radio signals.

It's very fitting you're dismissing an issue that's not local to you

Im not dismissing the specific usecase per-se. I dismiss the idea that Starlink is a net positive for society because of a very nice use case.

Starlink still produces a lot of co2 and they can poisen our atmopshere when burning up.

I do not live in the favelas, I live in the suburbs you are assuming stuff to satisfy your point
