Fidelity has free checking with atm fee refunds. Also free checks if you use checks. Maybe their tie to investing would be a good feature for you. No mobile pay with their debit cards yet.

KLAVAN: The Racial Matrix

For those of us who truly believe black lives matter, Black Lives Matter is a criminally wicked movement. BLM’s attacks on the police have resulted and will continue to result in more of the felonious violence that claims so many black victims – in L.A. alone, homicides are up 250 percent since the recent riots.

I wonder how that compares to the weeks prior. Is the housing market just booming so every week nearly 20% of listings are new? Might make a stronger point to have the data to compare.

My local dps school is only a few miles from Columbine High. Yet #DPS is banning armed security. Will this makes students safer?

From the actual board resolution : " ensuring that we do not replace school resource officers with or staff our schools with the consistent presence of security armed with guns or any other law enforcement personnel."

Systemic racism is defined therein as black and Hispanic students being ticketed or arrested.

Opinion: A humble request for those of us who believe that black lives matter

If you asked me to pinpoint the greatest problem facing America today, my all-encompassing answer to that would unequivocally be our people's inability and unwillingness to think. For whatever reason, and there are many, we no longer appear capable of thinking beneath the surface of any issue. Instead, we rage with emotion, hurling accusations and launching Twitter bombs. And it's killing us.

I have a love /hate relationship with technology... That phrasing may be too strong. I think that with every technology, it's a trade off. With watches we progressed, but lost things as was mentioned earlier. Everything is like that, isn't it? I'm tapping this out on my smart phone, with which I'm never alone, always tethered, rarely have solitude.

I'm a software developer, I have no microwave. I have a robot vacuum and a reel mower for my yard. I try to be aware and make conscious efforts to think about what the trade off is with technology and make a choice.
