And pull themselves up by their bootstraps as usual?
Imagine living in the 2020’s in the developed world and not realizing that internet access is a basic necessity.
Then imagine being the sort of person who would deny poor people basic necessities
cough healthcare cough
Might want to get that cough checked out. …unless you’re in America, in which case you probably couldn’t afford it.
They know full well that internet is a necessity to participate in society.
That is why they are blocking it with every fibre of their being.
To them, poor people are poor because god is angry at them. They deserve to be poor.
Trump 2024, lol
(Edit: just to clarify–if you want all that bullshit, Trump is your man 🙌)
(Edit 2: /s would apparently have been the appropriate indicator of my lack of seriousness. TIL!)
if only there was a way to indicate sarcasm…
I can’t believe I’ve done this
Always have money for war and bloodshed
And whenever they have control, more tax cuts for the rich.
Damn 30$ discount. How much do you pay in the states for broadband access. I pay about 40$ each month for a 500/500 connection.
I pay $100 a month in a rural area for 12down/500kup by bridging two DSL connections, the only thing I can get in the woods. I can’t watch Hulu and browse the Internet at the same time.
just so i get that right, you pay 100$/month for 12mbit/s down?
Correct. Insanity, right? Welcome to rural America.
Fucking poor people!! Have they tried NOT being poor!? Bunch of lazy entitled poors!! /s
Just take it out of the oil and gas subsidies.
It’s what Republican Jesus would do, fuck the poor. We could fund Israel’s war with all that wasteful spending!
brainrot-level take incoming: jesus was a jew, it’s obvious
referring to tax cuts for the rich
Both parties are the same!
We’re is this technology related? It’s completely political - something I don’t want to see, but now also technology cannot be followed anymore, as most things here are political news with a tech keyword in the headline sadly :/
But isn’t broadband access one of the main requirements for using technology? I understand not wanting to interact with politics, but nothing in our life is truly separated from it.
Politics is everything
If your kid is the better player but the coach picks his kid to be on the team then that’s politics
If company puts a paid OS on their IBM machines because it’s made by the son of someone on their board instead of the superior free option then that’s politics
…broadband Internet has nothing to do with technology?
