New computers and free internet in public housing

[L8 Braker]

Full story in link below...

Coming soon to Tampa public housing: Free Internet access

[Amber Lamps]

I agree only because of their children who might be able to use the internet to better themselves and possibly break the cycle.

I am all for making basic internet needs accessible to everyone for absolutely free.

I would be willing to pay for taxes to implement it for everyone. It's almost a necessity nowadays. TVA doesn't even take paper applications anymore. You need internet access to apply with them.

For something like this though where they aren't making it accessible to everyone, put a fucking work filter on it. They don't need to be playing farm town or xbox live on it.

No sympathy here.

$90 for phone, cable and internet? Fuck that.

Turn off the phone and the cable then let's talk.

Talk on what, soup cans and string?

If you don't have basic communication, you may as well be walking in LA.

You mean to tell me that a family with cable television, high speed internet and the computers that hook up to said internet don't have cell phones...

A cell phone without net access, is essentially soup cans and string these days.

Might as well walk to the store for ice, or ask a pretty blind girl to dance.

“Pretty blind” like “better than 50% blind?”
Or
“Pretty blind” like “attractively blind?”

I don’t give a shit if she can see if she is pretty enough.

Besides, last time I was in LA, I had to walk to the store just to make a phone call from a can attached to a string to reach the ice vendor at the dance studio.

Eh....I don't agree. The problem is if you have everyone using the shit for free, the people who actually need it will end up with slow ass internet. So then....they will be paying more taxes and have to pay for a higher speed internet anyway.

If public housing wants internet, then they can pay for it like everyone else.
