If you aren't smart enough to have an internet connection by now, you don't really think you're smart enough to be selecting the person who might regulate it, do you? :wink:
and this is how class continues to establish divides subtly and unnoticed, because intelligence and amount of flexible income are two completely different entities that are often thought to be indicative of each other.
There are things called jobs, and they are out there for the taking in a good majority of cases.
And if your priority is being able to afford getting your sick daughter or son medical assistance when you can't afford medical insurance...

If your priority is feeding your family on a job that doesn't pay enough but one you absolutely need, and you can't get another one because the economy is shot and people aren't hiring and if they are, they're not paying enough...

If your priority is getting a car and keeping it running even if gas prices are exorbitant and loans are hard to come by...

If your priority is making sure your pregnant spouse has all her vitamins and pre-natal care...

If your priority is being able to afford burying a family member...or taking care of a sickly aging parent...

...

surely having internet and a tool to use it takes precedence, yeah? Again, intelligence and amount of flexible income are two completely separate entities. If anything, you should count yourself as lucky that you are privileged enough to not see the difference, but you owe it to yourself to do so.

if we had a national healthcare system, it would be an amazing relief to everyday Americans who are so afraid of high bills that they'd stay sick until its almost too late. I'm fortunate that I have health insurance. But there are so many people who don't and if someone gets sick, what are they going to do? :cry:
