If someone can afford internet access, a phone, computer or smart TV to watch it on and Amazon prime then why are they receiving food stamps?

Good question, but I’ve recently heard AT&T ads for free high-speed internet access for EBT holders. The phone, of course is free. They do have to come up with a computer, and they all seem to have TVs. Food for their kids, well, that’s another matter. But there are now vans passing out free meals now that school is out.

Other businesses cater to EBT recipients too. Internet service is available cheap or free. Older yet capable computers are cheap. Small HDTVs are about $100, lasts for years. Streaming Amazon Video capable player about $30. From there, a person can enjoy cheap/free communication, vast media libraries, and 48-hour delivery of most product needs at competitive prices.

The great thing about all this is how it’s undermining the Leftist demands for more redistribution and more bureaucracy.
