Infrastructure is there to service a population. Have you ever played sim city?

You realize that this is exactly what the government does with most communities right?
They spend inordinate amounts to service remote communities of anywhere from 100 to several thousand with postal, clean water, sewage treatment, electricity, communication, etc.
Money that logically based on the userbase they will never recoup ever.
This has been in the news constantly over the last decade, that large swaths of canada dont have access to treated drinking water, or good access to comms/electricity, and the outrage was huge. Here is an article from literally a month ago:

If you google it there is a hundred outlining the exact same thing.
Hell Ontario was about to a hundred million on starlink to service some of these places, cause that was cheaper to the option of having to run trunk lines.
Again I wasnt making the argument that Canada is a third world country, neither for that matter is the US, but what I am saying is there is impoverished and suffering people on both sides of the border.
