That said, any program that requires poor people to go online is setting them up for failure. A now-defunct work requirement to receive Medicaid in Arkansas required participants to report work hours online to a portal that wasn't even open 24 hours. In a state where a big chunk of people have no internet access at all.

A lot of people are WiFi only, which is available in cities. Phones are handed down. Half the people I know use fairly obsolete phones that were given to them. I use the same phone I got more than ten years ago. And have you been to a library lately? They are full of people using computers there because they don't have one.

One, it's an idle threat. There are no states that have enough foster parents to use in anything but the most egregious cases of neglect. School boards do not have that kind of power anyway. Two, schools can enroll children in the federal school lunch program if it's that much of a problem. Forty kids who owe ten dollars? Have a bake sale; that should take care of that.

Well, then I'm glad I was so strict with my kids. They send me their college papers and essays to proofread (while I don't know the subject matter, I can still tell them when they are obfuscating or being redundant). Their papers are pretty well written, altogether.

My Dad let me take a radioactive rock and a Geiger counter to school once. He also let us drink coffee and sleep outside, and there weren't any seatbelts to argue about. It's a wonder we survived to adulthood.

I'm afraid this will start a new trend at Disney (and elsewhere). Next March, we could hear "You think you've seen Rise of Skywalker? You haven't seen all of it yet, unless you spend another $12 to see it again in theaters with more footage!"
