no worries

Booker's proposal solves that by continuing to allow banks to charge overdraft fees on checks

headline: "Banning overdraft fees: Cory Booker’s new idea to tackle big banks"
article: "Booker’s newly proposed legislation ... would bar financial institutions from charging overdraft fees on debit card transactions and ATM withdrawals."

"No more fees!"

yup. he is seen as “real,” genuinely reflective of his base’s personality and what they think, and he’s seen as an outsider. his opponents are seen as robots spitting out sanitized talking points, which they almost always are.

i think it’s wrong to assume trump has some special gift that makes him impervious to criticism. i think it’s a lot more plausible that your average voter doesnt give a gently caress about the gaffes and slip-ups that rile up the media and always online types.

there's a kind of weird inverse effect too, where dumb people assume that trump must have some secret smart meaning that only huge brains can understand, then pretend to understand it

Yeah it feels like we're not far away from credit scores replacing Chex System or whatever banks use to tell if you should get an account

Schwab already does it

If banks can't make money off the poor through fees then they'll just dump them as customers

there’s that, too, yeah.

i guess my point, if anything, is biden wouldn’t lose because of gaffes. biden would lose because he’s a inauthentic person with lovely uninspiring ideas.

Dialysis dependency is immediately qualifying criteria for Medicare enrollment and there are definitely people aged 1m-26y who are in ESRD/dialysis dependent.

They aren't exactly fatally ill, but it's not a good look.

yah, I should've mentioned that there are exceptions based on permanent illness or disability.

but WJ's premise was that if an old were covered by medicare, so would be his/her dependents, which is never the case.

i watched the Florida Democratic governor primary debate last night (lol) and it was nothing but succ except for Andrew Gillum who is great

https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/08/01/bernie-sanders-endorses-andrew-gillum-for-governor/

a memorable moment from the primary was the unbiased moderator asking each candidate to pledge to Floridians that they would not raise any taxes

Stephanie Murphy. she sucks. this guy is going up against her and he seems good

https://chardo2018.com/

it's Florida though so there's basically no shot at any actual progressives being elected. you'll see a socialist takeover in Oklahoma before here

also in the governor debate the moderator asked Gillum if he identified as a "democratic socialist." Gillum paused and said something like "i'm VERY progressive" :sad:
