I pulled cat 5 for a while a long time ago. No smartphone required but my pickup truck helped get me the job im sure.

Ok. I disagree with you but whatever. If you think everyone needs cars and phones (even though the argument was iPhones) to get a job, that's fine.

Yes i think its harder (you wont get some) to get a job without a phone or car. And for some jobs where i live, they will ask you if you have a car in the interview.

Yes, I get it. I find it interesting how every single argument or point is ridiculed by the your side.

The point he was making is maybe people should make some common sense decisions or make sacrifices to get the things that are important. I agree with him. If you can't afford healthcare you can afford a fancy high end smartphone or 5 dollar coffees. People used to make sacrifices all the time, now everything is a song and dance about how necessary unnecessary things are.

Everything is an excuse. It's a joke.

Add to me to the pile of people that have had jobs where I've

-had to have a car (including low-wage jobs including fast food)
-had to have a phone (including I.T. contracting jobs that can be great 2nd tier jobs, a lot better than minimum wage but you DO usually need a phone and even possibly a smartphone because you need the internet to sign up for a lot of these jobs and work platforms)

None of that has to do with my point that some jobs require a car and that without a phone its going to be harder. But ok.

You do realize not a single person has argued that good decisions should be made by people in bad situations, right?

Its mostly your side which will be crying about losing their healthcare. For some reason the crazy libs want to save them anyway.

I was exaggerating obviously.

I just don't agree. You do what you have to do to get what you want in life. If having expensive gadgets and buying frivolous things are important to you, don't whine when you can't afford the things that should be higher priority.

It's just part of the victimhood loser mentality of the left.

I don't know what this means.

People I know who desperately need healthcare find ways to get coverage. It's not magic.

Well that's part of the problem. Going without a $700 iPhone doesn't do you much good when the average cost for healthcare for a person in the U.S. is $10,000. You would need to go without 22 iPhones or so a year.

It means people don't CHOOSE to get sick. People are going to get sick period, it's just a matter of when not if. If someone with clinical depression can't get treatment first, they are incredibly unlikely to be able to get a job or do other productive things. That's just a fact. You may not like the facts but you can't hide from them in your safe space, snowflake.

Yep, it is. Cutting back on smaller expenditures doesn't magically make a family able to afford something that costs tens of thousands of dollars when Trumpcare takes their subsidies away. That's why Jason Chaffetz got roundly skewered and walked back his comments when he opened his mouth about iPhones and why your posts here are just as dumb.
