The Internet contains information, not education. Even the free academies are not as good as community college.

No, it's not. Claims like "education" should be based on reliable expectations of effects, not "possibilities" that ignore actual human behavior. The Internet has not actually made people more educated, with few exceptions.
Food and shelter are more important than Internet access. Having a house and a steady income in the 1970s is wealthier than sharing an apartment with roommates and working irregularly in the 2010s; we know this because people prefer it, which is the only actual measure of economic anything.
