re: Do you believe low income folks should be given free internet by the gov't?

It's an inefficient tool for alleviating poverty. Without sufficient education, it's not useful in that regard at all, really.

It's extremely efficient, however, in that it has given nearly 100% of the population access to Facebook and Pornhub. While those are fine diversions, few people are able to masturbate themselves into economic success. (Stacked, let us know if you are rich yet. Thanks.)

Oddly enough, your hammer, with scant hours of training, can have an immediate economic impact on someone's life. And, unlike the internet, not every poor person has one. Perhaps we should subsidize hammers first.
