Mark is ruining it for every upcoming nerd.

It's almost like he's working on being disliked?

Maybe it's his a way of get back at the world for being invisible on so many levels, until financial success?

Not now, she's already blaming that little guy who followed her around like a puppy dog. That whole "woke" thing will work to her advantage.

I predict a no federal jail, or a few months, like a Martha Stewart. She will write her bio.

She will be on the talk circuit the minute the trial is over, and talk about being a victim.

I don't think she will wear the black turtleneck ever.

My wish is they start to fining white collar criminals much more, especially the wealthy ones. Federal prison time for wealthy criminals seems like a vacation. Get them where they worship---their money. Every time I hear the fine, I cringe. Is that all? I would like to see all societal fees/fines tied to assets. She shouldn't feel able to capitalize on the crime either.

Then again I have never understood the logic of making a poor man pay the same fine, as the poor man.

Thanks!

Texas dosen't count your primary residence as attachable in a bankruptcy.

While in CA, you are only provided $250,000 in coverage.

Personally, I don't think anyone should be able to touch your first primary home for any reason.

(I thought all bankruptcy laws were federal. I just assumed they would all be the same in every state, but they don't appear to be? Everyone dumps on TX, but they do some thing right. I heard that if you are arrested for a DUI in Texas. A judge will take into account previous alcohol tolerance. So basically, if you are an alcoholic, and you pass a computer simulation provided by the state, you might be able to get out of that DUI. I think it logical, but I must have miss heard that?)

The difference was you knew you would never be there too long.

It was a transitory job.

Now, it a career for many people.

I agree now as an adult.

I avoid any establishment that is filled up with cheap labor. (I guess it's not PC to say that, but I just look around, and it doesn't take MFCC in psychology, to reconigize miserable low wage employees. Safeway is the exception. I can't afford to shop anywhere else.)

My brother loved working at MD's as a teen. It bought his first car, and CB radio. Plus--he knew it was a transitory job, and not a career. (My brother got lucky in life. He kissed my father's arse when he was dying, and ended up with a million dollar home. Money from 3-4 generations going to my brother. If all likelihood, he would probally be dead, or homeless, without it. I told my brothers story because it's very common America, but won't last.)

America used to fill these positions with teens, and semi-retired folks.

Now---corporations know they can pull in adults who really need the job.

Yes, that seems to have changed since Covid, but I don't think it will last.

No one wants to be homeless, and watch how companies will advertise their lousy jobs in the next few months.

That whole, "Get your side hustle on while we offer a chit part time job, and one day you will be a American Success."

The Republicans started the mantra before Delta, with the whole, "Work brings self worth. A hard days work build character. You don't want to be a slacker."

And it's always from the same politician, or poloticians, whom are nursing a hangover, burping up that steak dinner, with the famous father's last name, has a company that was investigated by federal government for wage/employment violations, who state is near the bottom in every conceivable metric.

So go out there and get your side hussle on. Don't get sick. Wear our app on your wrist, and remember we are always watching.

You probally did this, but take your BP at home.

Just walking into a Dr's office raises mine, and that's before the bill.

Most doctors will have you check your bp daily for a month to see if you are actually hypertensive.

The only hugh abuse of welfare in the USA is what politicians let corporations/employers get away with.

Fired for no reason=perfectly fine.

Severely injured on the job=can't sue the company in most cases, and have to rely on suppar Workman's Comp.

(I probally left out a lot of Corporate Welfare. It's early. here, and I need to go back to sleep.)

I could care less about this tiny problem.

Is there a Mini owner satisfied with the mechanical part of their vechicle after 70k?

They have such a low oil pan, you don't dare not check it.

And every owner complains of things breaking down. A few days ago I was talking to a Mini owner.

Age friend has to go to England for a year, and gave the car to this guy, with the caviet of taking care of maintance.

The car had 50k--so it was new? First week a new Serpintine Belt.

Then faulty sensors, and a list of problems he was listing off.

They are cute though. I'm looking for a salvaged one to electrify.

Same thing with toilet paper/paper towels ar Costco.

I heard on the news Costco was limiting again. Every person had tp in their cart.

Every other store stock is fine.

(I bet a Costco MBA thought this would be a great way to sell more? Let's create an artificial scarcity problem? Anything to increase head count!"

If Jesus reappeared he would probally be in jail in a few day.

fishing in the creek without a license

fishing in a protected creek

Loitering

Could not account for the 3 gold coins found on him. (Cops confiscated, and charges pending.)

Jaywalking (In CA they are getting rid of this one. Cops were using it to harass. I believe it's near Neusome's desk.)

Drinking wine in public.

Suspected drunk in public charge.

Federal, state, an local, charges related to the fermentation, and manufacture of wine. He didn't get the right permits, or follow federal regulations.

Supplying alcohol to a minor. (A 20 year old was drinking from his chalice.)

Giving a sermon. (Didn't get/pay for a event permit from the town.)

Bathing in a protected stream.

Exposing himself to a minor. (Air dried because he didn't have a towel, and Cartman saw his thingy.)

And finally, caught urinating in public. (all the wine?)

I don't care about the turn signals.

The mechanical problems are another story.

I have never met a satisfied Mini owner after 70k.

We were stealing, and it felt good at the time.

It would probally feel better now, but the consequences are too stiff.

It felt good to be a gangster at a time when the laws were grey, or enforcment was not as easy as today?

Napster, and The Pirate Bay, were my best years on the internet.

I still think The Pirate Bay was the best website ever, but for degenerate disenfranchised Pirates like myself.

I learned Watchmaking from that site, and I doubt 90% of the stuff I downloaded was copy written.

Oh yea, I ended up buying all the books I downloaded over the years.

My horology library has probally 40 books, and I ended up with a side occupation.

Nope--, but thanks for telling me. I went all day telling this great story, but will read to the end next time.

"It took four days for the Soviet navy to recover it. To everyone’s surprise – and their inestimable relief – the tortoises were still alive."

Today, this is all I wanted to know. The hoax part is good too.

Prevent corporations, non-citizens, from buying up realestate could be a start.

Heavily taxing the third piece of realeste one adult buys. (A guy buys a home, and a getaway pad, fine. Tax the third property a lot to avoid homes being being accumulated.)

Put a unoccupied tax on vacant realestate too.

Or, severely regulate what they can do with your information, and make them pay their users for any material the user contributes.

It could be a few cents for commenting, but anything to stop the growth, and monopolies.

The catch is only on companies that are valued over a billion dollars, excluding credit. A company couldn't borrow heavily in order to stay below a threshold.

This would Only apply to large monopolies that are valued over 1 billion.

The small companies would be free of any regulations. I mean any. Small companies could experment, and maybe have a chance at making it.

I could just see Zucky sitting on a high chair in front of Congress crying, "But it's just not faaaair, and my wife doesn't like it either? You are penalizing Machiavellian success governor--oops--I mean Senator? The one Senator that kinda understand tech, "No Marky--we are just stopping cancer, and giving small companies a chance to get out of your shadow.". Mark, "Do you have any tissue besides this government cotten stuff. I'm used to lanolin apricot infused tissues! And where's my professional nose Wiper?"

"Where do those people live?"

I'm assuming the renters.

Many will find another rental.

What scares me is the homeless clusters I see popping up in my county.

It seems like many just gave up--for good reasons.

I have noticed towns, like Sausalito CA, are doing everything they can to get the homeless to move on.

I have a feeling a lot of towns, seemingly Liberal towns, are are using that Broken Window Pane theory to get the down, and out, out of their lily white upperclass lives.

They vote Democratic, but don't want those people near them.

(In all fairness Sausalito created their own problem before Covid. For years, we had Anchorouts. Sausalito decided to get tough with the Anchorouts. Sausalito claims the numbers were rising, but I feel they pulled those numbers out of their bungholes. I have watched the Anchorouts for years from my office, and if anything it looked like the numbers diminished. They decided to demolish boats they deemed unworthy.

They gave that power to a angry, drunkard, otherwise known as the Harbor Master. (Just a citizen who decided who's going to stay, and who's going to go. No rhyme or reason to his decisions, and wealthy yacht owners could moor in the same spot for months. As to the Drunkard charge, ask anyone at The No Name Bar. (If ever in Sausalito, visit the No Name Bar. You will see some funny very personal pictures of Clint Eastwood scattered about.)

These people's boats were demolished. They had nowhere to go, so they set if camp on the shore. Of course, Liberal Loaded Larry didn't like seeing the free loafers, and complained.

The end result is a bunch of homeless land bound campers are being harassed by local law enforcment, like $500 citations for petty violations. The Cops told the IJ, these people will never pay, so who cares how much the citation is? Cops don't realize citations eventually turn into warrants?

I'm sorry about my rant. I live in Marin County, CA, and my neighbors are unbelievable hippocrates, and this issue has been bothering me for awhile. Marin is home to our Governor, and his spoiled wife. Leave her Gavin. You know you want to.)

He likes to sue.

He did a interview on wrestling years ago. He went in doing his cutesy made for tv interview. The kind of interview that idiots seem to like. That in you face, and I'm going to out you.

He kept on calling it fake, which it is.

A idiot wrestler got fed up up with the guy, and slaped him. An open slap that most of us might slough off.

In court, he claimed long term physical/psychological damage from the slap. He claimed his hearing was permently damaged. Just a whiny baby with a monetary motive?

He got a nice fat settlement, from the wrestler, and WWF.

(I don't condone any violence, and never understood fake wrestling, but Stossel got his taste of easy judicial money, and him suing doesn't suprise me.)

I would like to see an international body of scientists from all countries regulating, and monitoring, all biologicals research around the world.

Think of it being an requirement to join the United Nations.

Those countries that arn't in the UN, or don't want moderation; well let's say let the CIA do their dirty work, or outright tariff/humanitarian wars.

(I don't have a clue to the origin of this mutating virus, but letting any lab anywhere experiment on biologicals does not seem prudent.)

That is laughably sad. I've been depressed, but for some reason started to laugh.

I think they should be able to work if they want.

I just don't want private entities profiting off prisoners our taxes house.

I don't think I have ever seen a review of a camera done by a professional, or pretty much anyone else, that didn't include raw photos.

It seemed like it was a few months after the government broke up the telephone monopoly; prices dropped dramitatcilly.

I know this on a personal level.

I had a crazy friend in college who thought BHT (the preservative) could cure AIDS.

His phone bill was $350-500/month. He would call researchers around the country, even Dr. Fauci. (Fauci actually listened to him once, until he found out he didn't have any credentials.) He once called France to speak with a researcher at work, over Rock Hudson's treatment. The small business owner came in steaming. He said, "Who called France. The call cost me $500.00!"

Everyone was complaining about long distance charges.

It literally seemed like in was a few months after the breakup, and long distance calls were dirt cheap.

(It might have been longer than months, but it felt that way. It was then I realized the important antitrust laws, and how monopolies need to be slapped down.)

What country?

"Zuckerberg, Sandberg, and other Facebook directors agreed to authorize a multi-billion settlement with the FTC as an express quid pro quo to protect Zuckerberg from being named in the FTC’s complaint, made subject to personal liability, or even required to sit for a deposition,” one of the suits alleged."

Don't even think about messing with Mark's personal assets.

This will hit poor, and low middle class, the hardest.

We are barely getting by as it is.

The poor don't have the luxury of buying new fuel efficient, or electric cars. Our roads are not safe for motorcycles 365 days out of the year. They buy what will get them to work and back hopefully, at a price that won't put them further into debt.

My biggest fear with Global Warming is they make the poor pay for it in sneaky ways.

When smog checks were required in CA, they made it sound like the low income wouldn't be hit hard financially. It didn't turn out that way though. If your vechicle doesn't pass increasing harder smog tests every two years; you end up paying a lot. (I can work on my own vechicles, but thinking about buying a smoke machine because they are now failing for tiny holes where hydrocarbons might escape.)

"I realized was that hospitals are largely subsidizing the cost of the uninsured by over-billing the insured folk's insurance companies."

1. You have to back up claims like this.

2. I imagine for-profit Insurance companies would love to blame their prices on the uninsured.

3. Many poor people actually have insurance in the USA. Even if they don't apply for it, insurance can be applied for after the fact.

4. The wealthy, and the poor are usually covered by insurance. It's the middle class that needs attention. They have insurance, but it's not great.

I still don't belive our healthcare costs are due to the uninsured. Oh yea, every hospital has a fierce Billing and Collections department.

They are allowed to go after your assets if you can't pay your bill, and they do. Obamacare gave patients some rights, but hospitals blatantly abuse the regulations.

The right to collect in municipal court was never taken away from hospitals.

In my local newspaper, it's not uncommon for a hospital to sue a patient over a bill, and put a Judgment lien on the patients assets.

They claim they only do this as a last resort, but bankruptcy due to medical bills are still the number 1 reason people end up in federal court (Bankruptcy).

Your protections under a bankruptcy are not great either.

There are many hospitals that forced a former patient to sell their home (homestead exemption needs to be higher. In TX, they can't touch your primary residence.). under a bankruptcy.

In CA, for example, the primary home gets a $250,000 protection. (Look up that last figure. I know it's very low in CA, and needs to be raised to at least a million. You have a $600,000 home. You are only protected by $250,000 of it's worth.

So in America, if you do get sick, and can't pay all your medical bills, you have no protections. These for-profit medical companies will come after you with more zest than an unpaid credit card. I think CC companies are less aggressive.

There's still a bit of ethics in some people.

Now--I wish the FDA would revisit approval data on every anti-depressant since Prozac, and including Prozac.

Irving Kirch was the first to look at all the drug trials, and not just cherry pick. His study is in Lancet.
