So there was this little program that I read about on Reddit the year before or the first year of COVID (in the USA) called the "Affordable Connectivity Program".

If you were poor enough or already qualified/signed up for some other government assistance programs, the program would reduce your internet bill by about 20~30 dollars a month. Last year, it seems like Congress decided not to extend funding to this program.

But 95 Billion bucks for Ukraine and Israel instantly passes, just to set the money on fire.

That shit slapped, my family had free internet, and my own was finally a manageable price. But now it's back up to over $70 a month
