She'll doink around driving the new car until it has lost 50% value.
Interesting that our poor are online. I wonder if she's on broadband?
They will also be getting free HDTV converters soon.
My thoughts exactly. I would be surprised if she did not also have cable TV. Maybe I am making too many assumptions, but this trashy culture bugs me. I am a graphic artist at a large company by day and a webmaster from home on the weekends. I am still on dialup and doing fine. No cable. Two kids in a private school. It is a question of priorities.
"Interesting that our poor are online. I wonder if she's on broadband?"
There are three possible explanations of why this woman was online. (1) She was using a computer at a public library where internet service is available for free. (2) She was using a friend's computer. (3) Someone donated a old computer to her. There are many people who do fix older computes for those who are elderly, disabled, or low income.
FYI, that is how I got my computer; a former neighbor and his wife, who are also Freepers, revamped one of their old computers and donted it to me. It's not top of the line but I can get on the internet. I will be eternally grateful to that wonderful family for their old fashioned kindnesses and courtesies to me and those around them. As I become more and more housebound, this computer has become my lifeline.
Don't you remember Congress passing the "Bandwidth Equity Act" last year? She got her Bandwidth Coupons that made sure she wasn't disadvantaged by a plain ole dialup connection. Next year she gets her HDTV Converter coupons.
