Sure, you are really a genius. Why didn't everybody else think of this? Why have not the low income populations pounced on such a brilliant idea as this? The ability to waste gobs of money on useless gadgets and trinkets is lost upon the LOW INCOME unwashed.

Well, that was bitchy.

It's my experience that the low income ALREADY HAVE a computer or smartphone. Hell, my 90 yr old granny has two and no one is more frugal than her. Homeless people can usually even wrangle $20 a month. I don't know if you are incapable of understanding how useful access to the internet can be for people who otherwise couldn't get it or if you just think "low income" means "no disposable income" which you would be sorely mistaken...

Even in our rural area, the kids here still use wifi to do homework, and I'm sure this program would help a lot of parents provide that.

If they have such disposable income, why are they grovelling for free government handout phones?
