I have never used the card in a restaurant or a retailer. I have maybe once or twice used it at a gas station maybe 2 times in the last 2 years. None recently. I use it to make cash deposits and these recent charges came before I made a deposit so I am stumped. I don't use it or that account for anything but credit card payments and they are direct bank bill pay. :eyebrow:

It could be a staff member at one of the companies you're paying to. Seriously, it is often very easy to get those types of details as an employee.

Voting rights: I believe that everyone who is constitutionally allowed to vote should be able to do so with no interference. I believe that having states where in some districts the maximum wait to vote is 30 minutes and in others it is 8 hours is criminal. I believe that 'equal justice under law' extends to the voting booth.

Amen
.... especially when the differences are deliberate against certain groups |
Maybe I'm not getting it. Is it just a case of the more densely populated areas are having longer waits? Would increasing the number of places to vote decrease the wait times? It just seems a bit odd (having been through the system in Blighty) that there would be a problem like this.

Ummm, Bloke... Examples are easy to come by
Given two neighboring voting districts, with equal numbers of voters. .. one (Republican majority) has 10 voting machines .. the other (Democratic majority) has 1 voting machine Which has longer wait times ? Given two gerrymandered voting districts where the Drivers License is a valid ID. .. in one (Republican majority) suburban voters drive their cars daily .. in the other (Democratic majority) urban voters do not have cars Which has a more difficult time voting ? There are many different versions of such games being played |

In the last presidential election, there were long waits in Florida and Ohio. |
Ah, right. I see it now. It's quite a bit different from over here.
I can see how people would get pissed at that system. |

Care really hard about those people. Don't have a clue how they live, what their values are, or whether they have ID or not. Guess what. They have ID. In greater numbers than suburbanites. Don't believe me? Ask 'em. I have, over and over and over again. The reasons why this might be true, I leave as an exercise to the reader. As a hint, answer this question: what do you think will happen to you if you walk down your local street without ID? And now, what do you think will happen to an urban dweller? How will your experience differ? |

Take Ron Reagan's Caddy driving welfare queen homily, add the ridiculous welfare ghetto trap, sprinkle with some racism, shaken, not stirred. Then you have the perfect ammo for the rich to convince the middle class to hate the poor.
But not for long, because the middle class is headed the way of the Dodo. While the people fuck themselves by shopping walmart and voting corporate interests, I think most can see what's going on but figure they'll be OK, and screw everyone else. Silly bunnies. I personally feel this explains the decrease in public support for handgun control legislation. |
pissed off that I found mouse evidence this morning. MY house had no mice, but this rental one does.
