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
cough healthcare cough
Might want to get that cough checked out. ...unless you're in America, in which case you probably couldn't afford it.
Best I can do is an aspirin I found on the train and sleep it off.
Sleep? What do you think this is, a spa?
Get back to work, paid sick days are just a myth perpetuated by the evil socialist europeans. Don't look it up.
If you don’t come into work today you are going to put undue burden on all of your coworkers. It’s certainly not my fault for staffing to the absolute bare minimum so that there is no room for people to be sick or take days off, it’s your fault for being a lazy worker
Oh you're insisting you can't come in because you are sick? I'm going to need a doctor's note that will cost you a day's wages.
They know full well that internet is a necessity to participate in society.
That is why they are blocking it with every fibre of their being.
To them, poor people are poor because god is angry at them. They deserve to be poor.
It's not that nefarious, it's more "we're a bunch of wealthy assholes and we know the best way to make the most money without having to actually make something worth a shit is to privatize necessities and then monopolize them. You literally need to buy from me! Also, you lot don't work hard enough."
I hate these people with every fiber of my being.
basic necessity
Did you misspell guaranteed revenue? They know exactly what they were doing.

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
Trump 2024, 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!)
