Starlink For Helene Victims Update

[okfine]

If you order Starlink it may take 2 to 3 weeks to receive the hardware. If the roads aren't open, you're screwed. If you don't have electricity, you're screwed. On top of the supposed free Starlink service, it isn't free. You get 30 days waived, but you will still get a bill for those days in November.
You can thank Elon Musk for all that he offers, but it isn't free.

Hearing from people in the hard hit areas. Samaritans Purse distributed generators. The generators supply the electricity for starlink. There is no charge. Not even a rental agreement. Fuel and supplies are being brought in by pack mules.

The main complaints are the grounding of rescue flights and arrest of pilots. A more bizarre complaint is why the deranged FEMA keeps putting locks on the landfills.

Elon said it would be free to certain areas. But it's not free. It will cost you $400.00. Nice gesture or scamming people who have lost everything.

"Boone, North Carolina resident Kinney Baughman — described by the Register as a local philosophy professor and IT pro — wrote in a Facebook group that Musk's offer of a 30-day free Starlink trial is "a crafty, bait and switch wolf in sheep's clothing scam meant to take advantage of people instead of helping them."
