Simple set-up and question. It was something he used often. A generalised statement, with presuppositions, and then a loaded question that would lead him to make some kind of assumptions in line with the question.
Porter gave a small, bitter laugh, looking up and Jason with annoyance. "That's life, kid. Doesn't matter. No matter how qualified you are, no matter what you have or who you know. Some people just have it easier." As he said that, his eyes flicked to Jason's face again, as if to say, like you.
