When he gets to the point where he needs life support, I hope some child who needed that wi-fi hotspot and couldn't get it, because that loser got his way, is able to block his life support. Nothing of value would be lost.

Why do these fuckers spend so much time and effort trying to make things worse? Like there's scapegoating immigrants because it'll rile up your voter base and get you re-elected and then there's shit like taking away lunch from kids. Like who does that even benefit?

I'm genuinely asking if they just get giddy with excitement at the thought of making things worse for other people.

Misery loves company, and these are very miserable, angry, hateful people. If they can't be happy, no one can.

Because an angry and stupid population votes GOP.

Wouldn't blocking them completely restrict them from "exposure to conservative viewpoints."?

That's what tv is for

Hotspot lending could “censor kids’

definition of censorship is not your access to alternatives to the "state propaganda curriculum". Access to alternatives is in fact the opposite of censorship.

I swear there don't seem to be any decent thing this guy do. I'm amaze why his still elected.

It's simple really. People vote on culture war issues, and respect posture more than reason, we are a weak species that is easily manipulated, moreso when you gut education.

"The government shouldn't be complicit in harming students or impeding parents' ability to decide what their kids see by subsidizing unsupervised access to inappropriate content,"

Like Fox News or OAN.

[–] TheBat 32 points 1 day ago

Inb4 they make it legal for schools to send the pegasus spyware to everyone in a one-mile radius of schools.

I've seen much pointless dumb shit these last days, but this one still manages to shine.
