I am considered low income. I do not have internet or TV service in my home, at this time mainly because I can't afford it. I am online though through my work and I have a laptop that automatically picks up open access internet in many places... including in my home.
In my work though, I have to go over the finances of people applying for charity health care. I am always amazed at the people who pay high cable and internet monthly. They always have cell phones too...yet can't pay their medical bills and are on foodstamps.
I have cell phones too, but no home phone. I always say, you put your money where you want it.
Woohoo, FB is a wardriver.... whoduv thunk...
Bold 2: My wife volunteers at the local toy charity at christmas. I went to take her lunch last Monday and there was a ton of people there... they handed out toys for over 5000 kids.
Anyhow, I am standing there and this one guy was getting toys for his kid, dude has on 125 dollar air jordan's, a leather coat that would have been over $300 and about a thousand dollars worth of bling around his neck. I wanted to tell the jerk to go sell a necklace and buy some toys for his kids. Oh, and he was yakking on a cell phone. Gotta keep the crack deals rolling I guess.

It's funny how some groups get bent out of shape if there are negative stereotypes made about them, and yet daily there are thousands who justify the stereotype. Ghetto people wearing FuBu plush jumpsuits with grillz and bling using foodstamps to buy groceries, rednecks with mullets wearing plaid and driving pickups, 15 mexicans crammed in a little minivan living in one apartment working hanging sheetrock or doing lawncare.
They get bent out of shape and scream "racist" yet they live in ways that epitomize the stereotype EVERYDAY!

What was even funnier was this guy was white. And that wasn't even the best, another guy was gripping at my wife saying, "Whats up with this? I got way more toys last year!"
Again I was trying hard to keep myself from maling comments like, "So, a whole year and you haven't done jack to better your kid's lot in life?"
Glad my wife can do that kinda volunteering.

What is a wardriver? There are several people around me who have left their wireless internet open. I wasn't even aware until so many people came over with their laptops and always got online at my house. I live in an old house where they built them 20 feet apart back in the day... my next door neighbor is fairly well off.. big house, nice inground pool, self appointed Grnpa to my kids, has watched out for them the last 8 years... Bekah has been known to go over and sit in his drive.. lol She claims that is the strongest comcast signal.
I live just a few blocks from the hospital and so I go down and sit in their parking lot sometimes and get really fast internet. Their guest services is open access... plus that is my employer.

It's not always the strongest signal, but works. I went to work and asked my boss since he knows everything...lol I asked if that was illegal... he told me that he leaves his open with no password and he doesn't care if his neighbors use it. Some know it is left unsecured, some do not.
A family member told me that they had heard of whole cities being open internet access... I'm sure it would be included in taxes somewhere huh?

One I know of in particular is MT View CA, where google is headquartered, google paid the bill.
