Just the other day I saw a crackhead swiping their EBT card and Medicaid card with the crack dealer. They were then able to intercept the section 8 check to the landlord and spend it on crack instead (it is definitely illegal to kick out a tenant who smokes crack, don't look this up, just trust me). The landlord was deprived of that money :(
As to the topic... giving poor people internet access is just not a good idea... I've been to the libraries. After walking past the book displays featuring the evils of white poeple, abortion celebration, and pronouns, I was dismayed to see every public computer occupied with poor people researching how to make crack. A few of them even had USB cooktops plugged into the PC to cook crack right there at the PCs. All that taxpayer funding to power USB crack cooktops instead of subsidizing companies who dump GenX and coal ash into our water sources.

Show me the lie. ;) I think the Internet was a better place before Eternal September, when it was the exclusive precinct of relatively affluent white male nerds.
Accessibility has only made it proportionally worse ever since.
