top set boxes pensioners

A waste of $300,surely most pensioners have a $25 set top box by now setup bye some kind person or adult son,(or themselves, like me)
How $300 would have helped with the power bills this winter ,or a $300 docket to go into the supermarket to get some extra food,dont no where these mps get there stupid ideas,they havnt got a brain between all of them.
