I know this doesn't help today but SpaceX's Starlink broadband service is going to be a game changer for oppressed people in the near future.

Since it's satellite internet from low earth orbit, you'll have access to fast broadband that no government can shut off or censor.

It's supposed to have its initial roll out in 2020.

This almost exactly matches my experiences in Mississippi. We also lost power for a few weeks after Katrina. Once in a while power goes out for few hours during a really bad storm.

The difference is your electrcity costs almost twice as much as ours.

What major differences in the government services for the disabled do you see between the two countries?

The US has the Americans with Disabilities Act. Does Russia have anything similar?

I guess what I'm getting at is it easier to live in the US as little person? Were there unique struggles in Russia?
