Awwwww, no political contributions? What's the point of getting government
money if you can't use some of it for kickbacks?

Already trying to control the money. This is why we opted out of getting
involved in any form of Government program. It just allows them to keep
their fingers up your ass and use you as a puppet.

Internet service providers who accept government funding in exchange for
providing Internet access in rural areas were "reminded" this week that
they're not allowed to use the money for food, alcohol, entertainment,
personal travel, and other expenses unrelated to providing Internet access.
The Federal Communications Commission issued a public notice with a
"non-exhaustive list of expenditures" that cannot be reimbursed. The list
includes all of the above as well as political contributions, charitable
donations, scholarships, payment of penalties and fines, club membership
fees, sponsorships of conferences and community events, gifts to employees,
and personal expenses of employees and family members "including but not
limited to personal expenses for housing, such as rent or mortgages."
