The Venn Diagram of people asking how Gazans have phones and internet access and people asking how people in the United States can be poor when they have phones and internet access IS. A. CIRCLE.
YOU CAN HAVE A PHONE AND STILL BE HUNGRY. YOU CAN HAVE A FLATSCREEN AND STILL BE POOR.

The image of poor people is dirty beggars in cardboard boxes
Same as disabled people. They must be in a wheelchair, like the Parking sign says. Otherwise, it is fake
Since when.
Still plenty of prepaid smart phones you can get at a Walmart for less than a carton of cigarettes.
Um, they’re not a subscription. I paid for them back before I got sick.
Some people are very confused by the fact that one can buy a phone today and have their financial situation change tomorrow
…what do you mean, it would cost money you don’t have to do that? You bought them, you should have thought about the cost of returning them when you could no longer afford to keep them…
Oh wait, that’s a shit argument about anything, let alone tatts.
Items typically subject to high inflation (e.g. quality food) are rare.
“Simple. A bed keeps you in the slum. Flatscreen takes you out.”
It’s more literal with things like smartphones due to accessibility of…well, everything— but the idea remains, too.
Internet is something you must have these days, like clothing.
Your words mean a lot to me, and I appreciate you sharing and your kind intentions. Your support is what gives me strength during these tough times. May you always be blessed and well.
there are programs available that provide free or reduced cost cell phones service for those enrolled in certain government backed programs
Appearance and comms are vital, and comms are much cheaper than western corporate parasites pretend they are.
Please explain your reasoning.
For the entire class to see.
Care to expand on the point and clarify further?
If their goal to make me support the victims of the attack NO MATTER WHAT, they achieved it.
CANADA ALLSO SAME WASTE'S OF SPACE AND T@X P@YER'S MONEY, "IGNANT'Ssss!!"
I filmed my daughter’s pain using a phone with 4% battery.
I used a hotspot from a stranger for 5 minutes — just to show the world she’s still alive.
We don’t need pity.
We need people to stop questioning our survival tools instead of the bombs killing us.
We are so sorry for what our country has done, and continues to do 😭😡😤
(just so that you know, Kamala would have been different!!! so many of us have tried !)

We know it’s not all of you — and we’re grateful to those who try.
Love back to you, from the tents of Gaza. 🇵🇸🫶
Don’t tell anyone but one can barely cannot function in today’s society without a phone and the Internet.
They’re human needs and not negotiable, like healthcare.
Isn't the same thing as
"14,000 children will die in 48 hours"
Big fucking difference
I don’t recall exactly when, but waaaay back in the ancient year of 2008 or something
They reported that “99.6% of poor households own a refrigerator”, and you can guess the follow up
