      The concept is literally working right now.

      Also, I’ve read the article. I’m not sure why you’re trying to make this chain about musk?

              A poor person doesn’t need an internet connection in the middle of the woods. Free wifi in cities would do INFINITELY more

              This is not a serious response.

                  The fact you cannot understand that literally anything would be better than giving billion dollar corporations more money is pathetic.

                  Let’s actually work through this for one moment.

                  I’m in favor of ending all current welfare programs and just handing poor people money, on a graduated level, until their net income hits a certain amount (let’s say 200% of current poverty line). Cuts the infrastructure, and helps them more than this plan full of cutoffs.

                  How exactly does this not benefit companies they will buy things from? How is this materially different from giving subsidies to a company?

                  If you don’t like billionaires, tax them.

                  You are beyond a joke and wouldn’t know a serious answer if it fucked your mother and made you call it daddy.

                  It’s always the least-informed people who pop off like this. You ever notice that?
