Government Provides Internet Access To Distract From Joblessness and Homelessness

Biden to unveil broadband expansion projects to boost jobs

How does providing internet access to people without jobs and without homes help the economy?

Maybe it distracts the people from thinking about being homeless and jobless if they are surfing the internet.

Sure this will create some temporary jobs. Laying network cable. In rural locations. But what happens after the network cable is all installed? Those people will soon be unemployed again. And any of the permanent jobs the internet providers have will go to their tech support shops in India.

Aren't you happy your government is providing bread and circuses while the cities burn?
