  I remember the collective shitfit around a decade ago when Obama give out free cell phones to homeless people. It was such a crazy concept to people who have never struggled that yes, you DO need a smartphone to meet your calling, banking and personal management needs. Everything has an online portal. Every job application requires an online portion. It’s how the world works and has worked since the mid 00s.

        Remember that time Obama realized they were never going to approve any Supreme Court pick of his so he suggested “Ben Ghazi” for the job as a joke?

        That was funny

    The libraries that many of the people who say this are trying to shutter, of course.

    The libraries that will allow me a maximum of an hour, maybe two if I’m lucky?

  It was until Ajit Pai unraveled that.
