But an iPhone isn’t. There are plenty of lower-end phones which do the job of providing access to the internet at less than $200, without a contract. The idea is that maybe an individual makes a choice between having a luxury item like the iPhone 8, and being able to afford health insurance.

I disagree. As a white-collar middle class American in a tech job, in my opinion, a smart phone, especially an iPhone, is still a luxury item. I got my very first smart phone in 2015 at the age of 27. I had “dumb” phones since I was 16 and they made phone calls and sent text messages just fine. While it is convenient…

Because this is former Gawker and he has an R by his name. Period.

Personal responsibility should not be shunned and he is not all that wrong. It may not be a popular statement, and it may hurt peoples feelings or offend them... but spend money responsibly. I have a buddy that used a go phone for YEARS because that is all he could afford. When he finally got some pay raises and his…

Wait, so $140/month for 2 phones with unlimited through verizon.... I’m paying $132/month for 3 shared gigs.... That’s WITH a 22% discount through work. One of the 2 phones is being paid off within the bill... but still, I feel like we’re getting f*cked.

He was only off by two feet.

Am I the only one that places the blame on the shithead motorists driving too fast for conditions over the top of a hill?

Wait, Russia made Hillary Clinton keep and distribute classified materials on a server located in her bathroom closet? Russia made Hillary Clinton blame an al Qaeda attack on a diplomatic mission on a YouTube video?’ Russia kept Hillary Clinton from visiting the state of Wisconsin even one time during the general…

Glad people are not letting bullshit like this gain traction on Gizmodo... This shit is getting so tired.

Don’t forget that everything that is wrong in this word is due to men. Dropped your coffee? Thanks Obama Men.

Another, “men shut up,” post.

Agreed. The irony is palpable: using the word “redneck” to describe the people Jost is talking about demonstrates his point exactly. Until the Dems can figure out how to engage the demographic that that slur refers to instead of continue to degrade it, we’re well and thoroughly screwed.

I think it is worth noting that Donald Trump is almost certainly not the next Hitler and that I generally find comparisons between Nazism, the Holocaust, and contemporary people and events highly distasteful and disrespectful of all those who lost their lives. There are exceptions of course. It is appropriate to…

I would say more like “Fuck Everyone who voted” but who am I kidding.. It was like choosing which poison to take. The ballot read, and I quote: “You want the red restriction of freedoms or the blue restriction of freedoms? Either way, you will be fucked in the ass. XOXO Republicans & Democrats”

Hey hey, whoa now. Calling neo-nazis “Fecal-Americans” is a disservice to fecal matter. Manure is actually beneficial to the world.

You know what? Detroit is bankrupt. The people of Detroit put themselves into that position by electing morons and criminals to represent themselves over the past forty years. So now you get to pay the piper. Sell the art and close the place. If you think that that place is going to generate a "revenue stream"…
