I think that most people here would reject the notion that 30m-1h of computer time per day isn't a meaningful amount. If you've written your resume beforehand, you can easily transcribe it to the computer and upload it to a free Google Drive account in under 30m without being a fast typist. Most online job applications take <30m (source: gf who recently went on a job search). Getting one or two of those a day would be an excellent start with not that much effort invested. Alternatively, using that time to browse job aggregators could get you a lot of leads to follow up with in-person or over the phone.

Furthermore, perhaps I live in a bubble but every public library I've been to in the last 5 years has also offered free wifi.

I'm not saying this is a panacea, there are plenty of people without reliable access to their transportation or time to visit their local library, or can't leave the house for numerous other reasons. Just something to consider when making the widespread claim that everyone needs a home internet bill.
