I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

We'll put our expert legal team right on this matter, Catherine. Screw education, healthcare, and food. What poor people really need is Netflix.

Netflix can provide all of those, IIRC.

So can a copy of the Bible, at a cost of much less than $100 per household.

She can propose a law to her State Senate or propose such to a congress-critter at the federal level. In her State she can probably propose the law herself or get enough signatures to put it on the ballot via referendum depending on her local regulations. I am not, of course, a lawyer nor did I play one on television.

True. God provides all, it cannot be denied. You only have to obey him without question.

I think what you're trying to say is that we have to accept Christ's free gift of salvation in order to enjoy the eternal benefits of His Kingdom. Although that is correct, it is not what I meant at all.
The Bible should be provided to every household because it is the most accurate history, law and science textbook available, thusly, by doing so, the government would no longer need to spend billions of dollars per year on education or healthcare, because every household would have access to the finest repository of knowledge available to Mankind: the Holy Bible. Thanks.

No, what I am saying is that we must obey God without question. He gave us free will because ordering around mindless drones would be dull. He wants the satisfaction of making us choose to obey him.

@OP your proposal would go to bid because it would be unethical to just funnel money straight to you
You would lose that bidding process

For all the poor people with Netflix?!
That reminds me of this family that used to live down the block from me. They lived in a hovel, broken furniture, food stamps, welfare, drove barely functioning jalopys but they had $200 a month cable, 50" TV, PS3 (back when that was the thing), Galaxy S3 (ditto). It was terrible.

Looking at your current congressman - Not a chance in hell he will support liberal items like computers for the poor.
Steve Knight has however supported one Small business cause.

It is just obvious. God wants us to worship him and obey his whims- but he also gave us free will. This can only be a sort of morbid sadism. Ultimately, he wants unconditional obedience from his creations, yet he wants it to be given willingly. He wants people to chose that mental slavery.
