If we're going to provide any freebies for the welfare class cell phones and internet service should be high on the list. Kids need the internet for school, most places today require you to fill out job applications or send in resume's online and of course you need email to communicate in the modern world.
In the modern world those two things become more essential every day.
The Amish aside, people growing up in this time need the internet to be functioning members of society. That’s just the way it is. Ignoring this will put people further behind like your old stubborn uncles.Does anybody from the Amish or Quaker communities need the internet?
I didn't realize local libraries provided cell phones. When did that start?And those things are already provided at no cost at your local library. The problem is it's not convenient and you actually have to take some physical effort to use this technology.

There's not enough computer resources at libraries for kids to all be doing their homework at the Library and most of them have strict time limits for computer use.
Just not a practical option especially since one might have to travel miles to get to a public library.

So you call everyone who is poor in America 'lowlifes'?WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The Biden administration announced on Monday that 20 internet companies have agreed to provide discounted service to people with low incomes, a program that could effectively make tens of millions of households eligible for free service through an already existing federal subsidy.
The $1 trillion infrastructure package passed by Congress last year included $14.2 billion funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on internet service for millions of lower-income households.
With the new commitment from the internet providers, some 48 million households will be eligible for $30 monthly plans for 100 megabits per second, or higher speed, service — making internet service fully paid for with the government subsidy if they sign up with one of the providers participating in the program.
Biden, during his White House run and the push for the infrastructure bill, made expanding high-speed internet access in rural and low-income areas a priority. He has repeatedly spoken out about low-income families that struggled finding reliable Wi-Fi, so their children could take part in remote schooling and complete homework assignments early in the coronavirus pandemic.
Cheap internet? Biden starts new low income program

So I guess free education, free food, free housing, free school lunches, free medical care, free daycare isn't enough. Now this country at 30 trillion in debt is going to provide lowlifes with high speed internet service thanks to idiots that voted for this moron. This cost is about twice as much as Trump asked for to secure our border which is totally out of control today, and will be much worse by the end of the month according to the Border Patrol.
Oh, and the subsidies will not be enough. The providers will likely increase rates on working people to help pay for their philanthropy.

“The Amish aside, people growing up in this time need the internet to be functioning members of society.”
I wouldn’t say that your old uncles are growing up. They’re, what, 80 years old? 90? I’d say that they’re stubbornly hanging onto their stupid and simple ways until they eventually die off. They lived most of their lives without the internet and they didn’t need to change or adapt. But people growing up NOW need it in order to be productive members of society.
The world that your 90-year-old uncles grew up in is vastly different than the world that a 10-year-old is growing up in now.
Times are different. People need to adapt accordingly to grow up in the world today. Otherwise they’re just going to fall further and further behind. The world today is far different than it was 70 years ago when your uncles were growing up.Yes the world is different, but it doesn't mean you need to be different as well.
The sad thing is, it's not even traditional, taxpayer-funded "free shit". It's corporatist government pointing at corporations and saying - "Do what we say or we'll fuck up your shit!"Free shit for the win!
C'mon, man, she's topped out. Red lined. Doing the absolute best she can.My, how 3rd grade of you.
Does anybody from the Amish or Quaker communities need the internet?

That’s just being realistic about what it takes to be a contributing member of society growing up in this time.
Once again, people need the internet to be functioning members of society growing up in this time. Whether you want to call that a “necessity” or not is irrelevant.And that's fine and dandy. The world is changing. I'm on Facebook, have an Apple computer, an 80" high def television, of course internet, cable and smart phone which I have a remote start application that allows me to start my car anywhere in the continental US. Does that mean I have to have this stuff? No, I have it for convenience like everybody else. If all these things were somehow taken away from me, I would live another week, month, or year.
When we start calling conveniences necessities, then what else could we consider necessities? People need shelter. They need a reliable automobile to get to work and take the kids to school. We certainly can't have these people board to death in the winter with no cable or video games. So what else should the taxpayer also provide?
I know you can't be honest about leftists intent, but the truth of the matter is they want as many people depending on the federal government as possible. The more government dependents, the more likely Democrat votes. That's what this is really all about.
Once again, people need the internet to be functioning members of society growing up in this time. Whether you want to call that a “necessity” or not is irrelevant.
These people are going to get nowhere in life if all they have is a shed to live in and some pointy sticks to hunt lizards. I’m not talking about sustaining life - I’m talking about being a contributing member of society.
That’s the problem with conservatives. They don’t read.
Yea I’m sure access to the internet wouldn’t help them at all. I’m sure they like not having access to the internet.The claim it's going to help people out in the sticks is putting lipstick on a pig. People know quite well the limitations of living out in the middle of nowhere. They like it this way. It's why they moved out there in the first place.
