Don't be distracted by "food" poverty, "fuel" poverty, "period" poverty, "digital" poverty, or even "child" poverty. The problem is that people, even families, live in poverty, and that it casts a pervasive pall over their lives.

The solution to the problem of poverty is simple in principle: give poor people an income that is sufficient for the necessities of life. There are many ways to do that, but a government headed by dooH niboR will fail to see any of them.

There is a specific problem with the term "digital poverty", because it calls for helping poor people to be mistreated by nonfree software and on-line dis-services in the same foolish way that most wealthier people are.
