Yesterday my 10-year old granddaughter had a Zoom meeting with her teacher, and some of her classmates. The ones who were able to attend, were really excited about school. I fear many of her classmates will not have access, either because they lack devices and internet, or parents that are sufficiently engaged to make sure they're connected. Not to brag, but Addy on her own began studying Japanese on Duolingo, and studying snake anatomy, so she can write a paper.

The first scene of "Parasite" comes to mind, in which the impoverished Korean family living the crummy basement discovers they can cadge some free wireless by holding their phones up in the air.

He sent millions to Louisiana for community broadband. Gov. Jindal refused the money because it wasn't for profit.

Yeah, turns out lack of access to information wasn't the problem. Some people will just use it to watch Alex Jones and QAnon garbage
