…that the government needs to give out to those on social services to make sure they remain informed about the world. It’s fascinating and yet scary stuff.

You're about 27 years late on making this wildly prescient observation, by the way. The government has had a plan to pay for low income families to have phones since 1996 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Service_Fund

the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) intended to promote universal access to telecommunications services in the United States. The FCC established the fund in 1997 in compliance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Of course all Republicans were against it.

Because it's getting harder to survive without a phone. Like what if society suddenly reverts to pre-electricity. We'd be fucked.

Republicans are against anything that helps the less fortunate, but at least their policies are upfront about it. The Democrats would play pretend and not do anything about the problems many Americans face. It's honestly a case of pussies and thugs.
