America's surprising breeding ground for inequality: The internet

For low-income earners, that percentage is more than double the national average.A Pew Research study published last June discovered a link between household income and home broadband services, as well as access disparities between people of different races and education levels. Lower-income Americans without internet access can often find it at their offices, schools and libraries. But those have been shuttered during the pandemic.

It also dictates that schools and libraries be able to distribute those products for students to use beyond school grounds, something that the FCC previously did not allow. The House bill also includes $4 billion in funding for FCC's "Lifeline" program, which provides low-income consumers with monthly subsidies for broadband internet access. If the bill is approved, that funding would be available for just over a year.

Wow-15 percent won’t have to listen to your bullshit then. Good for them.

That's because it's too expensive for some people to afford either feed your kids are good internet yeah our decision internet should be free

Isn't 15% of the population like 80 years old

Why do you want to give more people internet so you can lie to them and control their minds

No big surprise there. Turns out you can’t eat the Internet.

The internet is a human right

And who's fault is it that 15% of American households do not have home internet? Oh I know, Trump and conservatives. Let's get Nasty Pelosi to draw up another trillion dollar bill so these people can have it for free.

And? Report the facts & not fearmongering please!!

That equates to roughly 49M people in case you’re wondering.

That’s okay

Having internet should be a basic right! 😂

Lol 15%? So they get to avoid seeing your bullshit organization? Good for them.

Is back

Its not about HAVING internet. Its about whether or not it can reach the other side of the house where you like to lounge.
