I Want To Know Why Why Why

My brother works for AT&T. He installs internet. and they don't have masks. He has to go in to people's houses to do that. Is internet really a necessity?

In the long run no, but todays world makes it very important. It's how we are communicating now, granted it can be done with phones but not everyone has phones....kids cant do online school on phones, it people working from home need it to help all those who are at home passing their time with anything other than books really.

@lovingdead Good point. I take online classes, can't do that with a phone.

@lovingdead I say suck it up. The elderly don't use internet, some of my cousins have to go to someones house to do homework. I'd like to have internet for a few things that I can't do on my phone. I think considering the Corona virus is everywhere, internet could be postponed for a few weeks.

@melissa001 could yes, but they dont want people going to other people's houses to use internet just because. Granted your brother does that but he gets paid for it (though makes should be provided) but nobody who just wants internet will die without it, nor would people perish without fast food. And with that drive through or not you're handling cash that's been through countless hands. I'd say that's more of a risk than anything.

I'm sick I pay for 3 mcchicken with 4 dollars....that's 4 people who can get sick when they get change, not counting the hand of the cashier, its doubtful they put on new gloves for each transaction.
