Advocates for universal broadband access and internet affordability are lauding Pres. Biden’s American Jobs Plan.
They praise the plan for recognizing the important of internet access, pointing out that broadband has become as necessary as electricity. The push for more access to affordable internet comes as families across the United States are having to adjust to remote work and learning due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

In his announcement, Biden said the plan would create “the most resilient, innovative economy in the world,” through multiple projects intended to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure and create millions of jobs.

That first day of screening was so chaotic that the principal called it “Black Monday.” About 40 active infections have turned up since then, though cases have dropped to zero in more recent weeks. Now things at the all-boys Catholic school in Sacramento have gotten considerably brighter.
