What the heck are you talking man. A cheap computer can't run the modern web, even less so the development tooling necessary to build it. And recommending drug selling as an alternative... Your name is appropriate for your comment. |

You can get a Raspberry Pi 400 and do stuff, for example. With a used computer you could get there even cheaper, presumably.
If you really, really claim you can not even afford that, ask for donations. There are many people who are willing to help, if you are making a credible case of really wanting to learn.
Maybe going into IT is not an option for everybody, but it shows that the broad claim that "poor only get one shot and have now chance whatsoever" is not generally true.
As for tooling, you can still create websites with vim on the command line.
I don't recommend selling drugs. But people growing up in very poor environments got rich selling drugs. Another case showing that poor are not condemned to remain poor simply by virtue of being poor.
Maybe if you are in such a poor environment, and you don't want to sell drugs, sell counselling for drug addicts.
You already seem to have a computer that runs the modern web, or how are you commenting here?
If you can't afford a computer, go to a public library. Or ask at a school. Or ask a local business if you can use their office computers after hour. Or whatever. Do something!
Another idea: since you already seem to have a computer, help out a homeless person by giving them your computer over night, while you sleep. Most modern computers are capable of multiple user accounts. Most computers are idle for 99% of the time (or something).
I'm sure you are aware of the story in India where somebody installed a computer terminal in a wall, and the kids taught themselves how to use it.
Why is it so important to you to believe that everything is hopeless and nobody has a chance in life, unless government rises the minimum wage and instates a UBI?
