Your reading comprehension level is not as good as you think it is and you did not check the source.
According to the article you cited, that "feeling of powerlessness" is what distinguishes his supporters from supporters of other Republican candidates.
From the original source: 'Among people likely to vote in the Republican primary, people are 86.5 percent more likely to prefer Donald Trump as the first-choice nominee relative to all the others if they "somewhat" or "strongly agree" that "people like me don't have any say about what the government does." '
Many credit unions still have restricted membership to this day. Not universally true I'll grant but plenty do not accept anyone.
I'll take everything you wrote as quite likely to be wrong, since you took my statement out of context and used the lack of context to infer a meaning that was clearly different to the meaning of the complete statement.
2. There is a huge network of ATMs that I can use. Probably larger than that provided by any bank.
Seems unlikely. Most ATMs are owned by banks so unless they are reimbursing you this cannot be true.
I use a credit union for my banking and: 1. The Android app works better than the Wells Fargo app. 2. There is a huge network of ATMs that I can use. Probably larger than that provided by any bank. 3. Membership used to be restricted, The first credit union I joined was limited to one employer and they were so tied into that employer, they could access the HR systems to look up my salary history. But now, credit unions are so open that the concept of limited membership is a joke. 4. Investing services? Do you really invest through your bank and not through a brokerage service like ETrade? 5. Branches? My credit union has more local branches than the big banks, but the only reason to go into a branch is to deposit money in my HSA.
I don't know your circumstances, but if you haven't looked at your options for a credit union recently, I suggest that you look again.
"A concern is the risk that you buy the necklace that your wife wanted and discover it's not the real thing," De Beers strategy chief Gareth Mostyn said.
It's so much more romantic to give diamonds that were mined by people on subsistence level wages in terrible conditions and then used to make massive profits by a parasitic organization that is dedicated to preserving a monopoly through artificial scarcity. What's "real" when the end result is the same, or perhaps even purer when man-made?
Diamonds are not as rare as some other gemstones. It's only the massive market manipulation that gives them their value.
Any time spent on this activity was time that was not available for activities such as persecuting people like Aaron Swartz.
The FBI has been a corrupt organization since its founding. Any real criminals caught by the FBI are perhaps an aberration rather than the FBI performing its primary mission.
But the fear of becoming a laid-off IT worker is strong with this crowd (never mind Trump has used H-1B workers in his own businesses and has no problem stiffing contractors).
Yes, it's not as if Trump married someone who was not only an H1-B worker, but actually worked illegally before she had her H1-B.
Oh, wait, he did. Yeah, he is surely going to crack down on H1-Bs.
That, plus he is still stiffing contractors: did anyone see that he is stiffing a polling company now?
The amount of CO2 emitted per mile driving an EV assuming electricity is generated from coal is about the same as that from a gasoline car that does 40 mpg. How many cars do 40mpg in a real life mix of driving?
Yes, I ignored transmission losses, but perhaps that isn't fair because obviously gasoline gets from the refinery to your tank via zero energy teleport.
Nothing "partisan" or "evil" about it: just a script reading a bunch of finished FOIA requests that were probably started a year ago during the leadup to the Democratic primaries.
So maybe the Twitter account bot is not partisan. What about the processing of the FOIA requests? There is a possibility that the FOIA process has been used for partisan purposes.
In fact, the simple fact that the Twitter process is being investigated while the FOIA process is not suggests very strongly that there is partisan shenanigans going on in the FBI.
How many times should they run it? I mean really what is the point of Democracy if you're going to do a literal vote on "Do you want to do XYX?", and when the result is "Yes" by a small margin you just keep running it again until you get the "No" that YOU wanted and finally say "Ok - thanks - we just wanted to be sure.".
This is just SOP for the EU. When some countries held a referendum on one of the EU treaties, but voted against, what happened was just more referenda until the "correct" result was obtained.

Just like how they assume the best about you when you apply for a mortage and have no credit history because you don't use credit cards, and use a pre-paid phone, etc?
My daughter has only a year of two of having a credit card, no car loans ever, no cellphone bill (I pay it), no history of renting, yet her bank tells her that she has a credit score of 849.
Slashdot Mirror
I wish the residents of Michigan well, when the regulations that Trump and his cohorts are removed and another disaster like Flint happens.
Trump is going to want to increase the H1-B cap so that his future wife can enter the country.
What if the $7,500 Federal tax credit for EVs is dropped? That's going to hurt Tesla, especially with Model 3 sales.
The computer in which our entire Universe is simulated was designed by their version of Intel and has a floating point error.
Which does not contradict my statement that the core of Trump support comes from poorly-educated white men.

Easily refuted
My experience has been the reverse.
I use a credit union for my banking and:
1. The Android app works better than the Wells Fargo app.
2. There is a huge network of ATMs that I can use. Probably larger than that provided by any bank.
3. Membership used to be restricted, The first credit union I joined was limited to one employer and they were so tied into that employer, they could access the HR systems to look up my salary history. But now, credit unions are so open that the concept of limited membership is a joke.

Did you hear that "whoosh" sound?
Read his claims carefully. If you consider use of a database critical to email then he did invent email.
Before anyone criticizes me, the above is humour. Yes, everyone outside of Microsoft realizes that use of a database is not necessary for email.

The end of DeBeers cannot come soon enough.
But thanks for outing yourself as yet another person who lacks critical thinking skills.
Perhaps this isn't wasted time.

Butt-hut Trump supporters with mod points here?
My posting was on-topic. I can find citations to show the proof about who Trump's support comes from.
I'll probably get modded down for this also, but it won't change the facts.
The base of Trump support is poorly educated white men.
They believe lots of easily disproven lies.
It's hardly surprising that they would click on more false clickbait.
The J1772 standard doesn't put out 110v or 240V on the pins until connection with the car is established.
I recently did this calculation.

This doesn't seem to have been reported anywhere other than the Telegraph and the Intercept.

Who invented email? This settlement includes $750,000 to Shiva Ayyadurai and removal of the article that debunks his claim that he invented email.
Does anyone think that part of the settlement is justified by anything except Thiel's money?
I think that you can walk on these new solar tiles.
You really think that websites would not send you an ad if your battery was low?
