Never. There are other public ways to become informed. Even public libraries have Internet connections. It is just silly to classify Internet access as a “human right”.

It is just silly to classify Internet access as a “human right”.

...and INSANITY, once you factor in the finances.

Where does it stop. First you need a structure, then you need electricity, then a computer, then access, phone line (more expense) cable, satellite, DSL, wireless, etc. More and more expense. The above includes monthly bills totaling what could be thousands of dollars depending on the structure. Certainly in the hundreds when house payment, electric bill, internet access, is added up.

For what? The only justification I really have for the tremendous expense, is it is needed for work. My job and that of my wife require access for work orders, job changes, completion paperwork, new job availability, and on
and on. When we aren’t using it for work, there is time for other aspects of the internet, such as a better news source than the MSM. The ultimate when someone asks a question, just a minute, I’ll look up the answer on the internet.

If High speed internet is a right, then so is the house to go along with it, not to mention all the other mentionables.
