gwydion* "Trump Florida AG donation timing raises pay-to-play questions:"
* You know that robo poll I keep getting? The latest version added several extra state offices, including the Lt. Governor race I am particularly keen on. I am just weirdly excited about Mr. Habib maybe moving up. I suspect I get polled so much because odds are most of the people in my section of town don't have a land line, this being where a lot of college students, proffs, and affluent types cluster, all good demographics for smart phones.
Look a land line costs $5.00 a month, plus when a phone breaks it costs less than $10.00 to get a replacement at Value Village or goodwill. It also has nice big buttons I can manage despite my issue with fine muscle control. No, I'm not a luddite, and I'm happy for all y'all for whom smart phones work, but I doubt I'd buy one even if I could afford it as I simply haven't the fine muscle control in my hands for things like texting and trying to dial with tiny buttons and I drop things. Like a lot. Odds are good I'd break a phone and since I can't afford AAA any longer, I literally have no need for a mobile phone. Again, I know lots of people for whom mobile phones are a huge help and they do have a lot of accessibility for people with a different set of disabilities, they are just barely useful, too expensive, and super frustrating for me as I generally end up pounding multiple keys at once and dialing is an asshole.
