 It's days like today that expose the income inequality. I recently gave a 14-year-old ThinkPad to a family who were happy because they couldn't afford a $300 low-end laptop for their kids to do homework on. Today the Internet is full of people who can't wait to drop $2000 on a phone that is marginally better than what they already have in their pocket. 🤯 
 @5f691d52 This past week, our kids teacher informed us that there's a local group that will provide laptops to children whose families can't afford it upon request.
