The proposal comes after Republicans killed a federal FCC program that provided a $30 discount off the broadband bills of low-income Americans. The Republicans in question claimed they killed the popular program to save money, but a follow up study showed that the program more than paid for itself (by a factor of four) because it helped expand access to remote healthcare, employment, and education.

    Poor people deserve bad customer service, too!

    why did you choose to add “too” to the end of the sentence, instead of writing “poor people too deserve …”?

    Is it a visual choice? Are you trying to balance "O"s as in oo………oo
