I can justify this if one thing and one thing only happens:

We finally address the internet as a utility and treat it as such. It's a necessary tool for so many jobs and if that is the last step one needs to get out of poverty and find steady, actual career based work: I'm all for it.

But classify it for what it is: A utility.

Also, this would allow us to tell all social media platforms to BTFO with their TOS due to it being classified as a utility and not a service.

Anybody who went to college 2000-2010 knows what poor people use internet for.

Id glance into computer labs and just see nonsense on screens.

I know the OT is a silly thing.
But, there is valuable, intelligent discussion had here.
Crude or not.

Absolutely not.

Why the frick would you do that when the state of our utilities is shitty? You want to make the internet that bad?

Typical socialist, wants to kill off private enterprise.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

- Alexander Fraser Tytler
