    The fact that only 7% of journalists identify themselves as conservatives (according to Washington Post...you can google it) should give you an idea of what does and doesn't get reported.

    Bernie Sanders would be 78 if he runs again. Not a chance.

    Yeah, as if the Dems aren't voting as a block these days, opposing nearly everything. I get that turnabout is fair play, but it certainly isn't taking the high road, and removes your right to whine about it.

    Except tepublucans don't need Democrats to do any of that. They control everything, and still can't get shit done.

    For 8 years they were the party of NO. Now they have No ideas.

    Unless you hold a fillibuster proof majority, you do NOT control everything. Stop spreading the lie. So, now that the Dems are the ones saying no to everything, are you okay with that?...nothing like taking the "high road".

    Honest politicians are a bit like unicorns. There's been lots of talk about it but so far none have surfaced.

    There's a big difference between lying to the press and lying under oath. The latter is called perjury.

    Maybe it's different with other debit cards, I've never personally had one of my own, but got one from Bank of America for my daughter about ten years ago. I thought it would protect her from spending more than she had in her account, which was basically correct, except every time she attempted to buy something that cost more than she had, BoA would hit her account with a service fee of ~$30. She rang up a few of those before I caught it, and raised hell with them...and her.

    I also don’t know what kind of job you need to have not to have a bank account.

    In this area, nearly everyone pays someone to mow their lawns. I'd lay odds that the vast majority of those doing the mowing don't need one since it's mostly a cash business.

    There's a big difference between being seen in public and being tracked, which is what's happening here. Law Enforcement is required to get a court order to track you, but this subverts that.

    And yeah, I'm well aware that plenty do, that doesn't make them less of an indicator. An indicator doesn't imply that it's a fact, just that it's most likely. Your anecdotal android evidence is not data, nor is the fact that my mom, living on her sub-$1k/month social security checks does have an iPhone.

    I'm all for the hard work, and continued education you mention. And I didn't mean to imply that everyone can get ahead as I was able to do, no matter how hard they work. It's also a matter of choices, preparation, and in many cases being in the right place at the right time (luck). Being prepared to move up is half the battle, so that when opportunity knocks, you can take that step.
