    Imagine living in the 2020’s in the developed world and not realizing that internet access is a basic necessity.

    Then imagine being the sort of person who would deny poor people basic necessities

      My mom works with internet people. I remember when I was a kid she was making fun of them for saying internet should be a basic human right. Nowadays, it would be hard to find someone who doesn’t think that lol

      (Edit: just to clarify–if you want all that bullshit, Trump is your man 🙌)

      (Edit 2: /s would apparently have been the appropriate indicator of my lack of seriousness. TIL!)
