Get real dude. You try getting out of work and then driving to a library for internet to do some work. Now have someone drive you to the library and pick you up cuz you don't have a driver's license. And pack yourself a snack because you're going to be hungry and after school. Cancel all engagements with your friends. Your library closes at 6:00. But you need to finish this report and it's going to take all night... Should I go on? |

What are my priorities? Education or work?

How did I get to work?
> pack yourself a snack because you're going to be hungry and after school
Not exactly a herculean chore. I mean, I'm hungry every day, it comes up as a problem often.
> Cancel all engagements with your friends.

School is out at 3, though. Or am I working between 3 and 6?
> But you need to finish this report and it's going to take all night
I have to have internet the entire time I'm writing a report?
> Should I go on?
With less hyperbole?
Meanwhile, you want me to believe that a $30 subsidy is all it takes to erase this, and you don't think this strange imbalance doesn't describe a fundamental problem with our entire model for education and internet costs in literally any other life context?
Even within your own example.. how did I get a job without having constant internet access at home?
You think I'm trying to be mean to poor kids. Instead I'm suggesting you stop using them as an excuse to transfer funds and instead solve the actual problems they're going to face for their entire lives.
