Why isn't cyber-technology empowering workers of the world?

I have a vision that socialists will all commit suicide. That will be a great day.

Nothing is free including WiFi. If its offered; its paid for by someone and method to cover cost. Just as those wanting more transfers delude themselves that those taking risk to create wealth are going to take same risk to give away. Greece's situation and now it got there is a example they need to study as well as what it really means for future.

That's because there wasn't free public wifi for most of those 150 years. I know it's paid for by somebody but my definition of something being free is broader than yours

Something is free if in any moment, you can freely access it without restriction.

Free property can be someone else's property if at any time that person doesn't care you are on it.

Free is can you possess it in the now without violating any legality.

So free wifi is free as far as my definition. Owning something is less important than possession and access. Empirically, statistics would suggest someone with wifi would offer wifi to the public or offer a very small condition for access to their wifi, be it you buy a kit Kat bar, you do a chore, etc. that's because your use of their wifi has very little impact on their enjoyment of their utility.
