I don't live in America, but good luck getting by without a PC/phone. No one will accept your hand-written CV, governmental services are accessed online. I'm falling behind too, with my Nokia Lumia that I've had 4 years, because it's a Windows Phone which doesn't have many apps, like an app for buying bus tickets. Fuck me, because if you pay with cash on a bus or train these in Norway, it's close to double the price compared to paying through the app.
Of course, a better soloution to help the working poor and poor to make sure they can have access to medical services like the human beings that they are, politicians can have their salaries reduced, but we can't have that, can we?
