Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, try and survive a month without it.😐

OTOH I gotta admit when a guy on the street in downtown Portland momentarily and cursorily breaks off from his phone conversation to ask me for money, the fact that he's in the middle of a conversation on the same model of iPhone I have turns me downright Republican for the next several minutes.
