I guess this is the latest in the bread and circuses phase of our nation.
I want to know when I get my free high-speed internet.

So sick of this ‘free shit’ going to all the Obots. As always, we producers get to pay for it one way or another.

All the new employment opportunities!
Prostitution, drug sales, stolen property sales...
The more advanced users can hack into user cameras and look for worthwhile targets.

If this high speed Internet is free look for it to quickly become useless as all the free riders will use up the bandwidth. There is an old principle in economics called the tragedy of the commons. If a resource is without cost then it will be quickly exhausted.

Get ready for the next step - they’ll need Obamacomputers (with free service plans) to use the Obamainternet

help program participants maximize their use of the new devices and technology. So will these low income Welfare types use the computer to "maximize their potential" by looking for jobs, or will they just look at porn. I know where I'd place my bets.

Look at the bright side—if they’re sitting in front of their computers wasting time, they won’t be on the streets.
To: BBell
Yes, the FedGov bureaucrats want to bring high speed Internet to the poor so they can surf porn sites. I wonder if they'll provide the computers too?
