Our poor – and mind you, we have little or no abject poverty in the U.S., only relative poverty – have cell phones, game consoles, laptop computers and microwave ovens.

John McCain has a long history of colluding with enemies of the United States… first the North Vietnamese, now the Democrats:
McCain had a unique POW experience. Initially, he was taken to the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison camp, where he was interrogated. By McCain’s own account, after three or four days, he cracked. He promised his Vietnamese captors, “I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”
First, Government is Force. By that I mean that every act of government is backed by men with guns. So the most benign act of government, such as Medicare’s free hospice care, is backed by force. You are forced to pay for it, and when grandma is at end-of-life she is forcibly subject to its protocols. And then there is the tax-collecting side of things, with the noble and virtuous IRS collecting $3.5 trillion from Americans in FY 2017 by force.
And when government uses force, there is a real danger that some people may experience it as injustice.
Yep.

I don’t know the source of this but, based on news stories, I believe it is probably true. Since the NFL is also mostly black, we have some black ‘privilege’ in action.
What causes gun violence in America? Liberalism and ignorance, but I repeat myself.
Obvious.

When I was offered “free” goodies by leftist candidates; when people told me they were entitled to others’ money or time; when parasites of various kinds reared their ugly bloated heads, I thought TAANSTAFL, because that’s the ultimate truth of the universe. There is never something for nothing.
Parasites. Appropriate.
I also read Heinlein as a kid. ‘Time Enough For Love’ was my favorite.
