canyoneer posted:Yeah, it's a reverse mortgage for your car. 100% agree. When I said that I do this every couple of months, I mean I've been a driver for about a year and made about $1000 bucks. It's not about making the most money for me, it's the flexibility. Like, say I've got a trip in a couple of weeks I can go drive for a weekend and have a couple hundred extra for the trip or I can sit around and drink and play video games. I don't have to be held to a schedule. All of these are the reasons people say they like to drive full-time and I did that for one weekend in Atlanta - totally not worth it.

After you cure homelessness the homeless no longer have jobs to keep their houses and then gentrification/hipsters come in and take those homes. What you need is a steady stream of new homeless people to keep the homeless builders working and that's where our new AHCA healthcare reform comes in.

BWM is paying $10 to post on a comedy forum and reading a thread about people bad with money that consistently gets distracted by a right-wing troll and a left-wing troll who both give one cause to remind oneself of Poe's Law.

https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/6n3odo/is_my_personal_investor_taking_advantage_of_me/ Is My Personal Investor Taking Advantage of Me? quote:Back story: my Mom passed away twenty years ago and my Dad won a wrongful death suit which wound up being split amongst her, my sisters and I. At the time I was 12, so my Mom wound up setting up accounts for all of us with my Grandpa's personal investor and put all of the money with him. Full disclosure, I didn't like to think about the death or the suit and essentially just left the money alone for the entirety of my adult life. But now I'm a Dad myself and seeing things differently and recognize this as an opportunity to take care of my own kids. From the comments: quote:He actually does my taxes, as well - I can run through past tax records, but I don't recall ever seeing anything on it. He essentially said to me that I haven't been paying taxes on it, though.

Turns out that its actually much more effective to give people a home and then help them overcome their problems than expect them to overcome those problems on the street before they're allowed to rejoin society. They provide them with case managers to help them out, and that is still cheaper than having to scrape people off the street year-round because they have no where to go and no consistent support.

Additionally, loosening zoning to allow more development would result in a boost to construction employment, which is like manufacturing in terms of blue collar jobs except that you can't ship it overseas!

Seriously. Note how the right-wing troll and left-wing troll manage to basically ignore one another. Talent recognizes talent. While others here dance around like fools.

The ranting shambling homeless guy that we think of when we think "homeless" and the "invisible homeless" who are just extremely poor and living in a friend's shed or in their car or squatting somewhere. The latter could definitely have many of their problems solved via "free house."

Clearly the answer is give the construction workers great health insurance. Good enough that they can get mental help, and good enough that other companies have to step up their game or not get many applicants. Free market

I'd of been on the phone with a lawyer after the second time I asked for documentation of my investments and not receiving them. Think this guy is ever gonna see his 70k again? The tax thing may be OK since I doubt the dude has paid him out more than the 70k he stole so who knows...

To bring this around to BWM, I think it was LA that found it was cheaper to use Medicaid funds to just provide free apartments and occasional home visits to the homeless instead of the inevitable emergency room costs from living on the streets.

TB is more often than not right about things imo. People complain about her 'messaging' but it's not like they'd change their opinion if she was nicer in challenging their lovely opinions so rage on, angry dinosaur, rage on. I recently came across a subreddit entitlted Pro Revenge. Some of the stuff is probably STDH, but there's some entertaining stories about people who go all scorched earth after being wronged. In this one a computer controller manufacturer realizes a competitor who sells a better constructed product was using a broken old copy of their firmware to make it run. This being the late 90s, the manufacturer tweaked their Y2K firmware upgrade in a way that effectively bricked controllers running this old version. BWM: cutting corners in a vital part of your business, allowing this to happen: quote:There was a bit of saber rattling when Competitor started getting complaints about Y2K that culminated in a series of messenger-delivered nasty-grams. Their position was that their outsourced programmers assured them they were compliant and that we should turn off the dialog before they sue us for tortious interference. Our position was that if they didn't want us to complain about the bugs they should have had their outsourced programmers steal a version that didn't have those bugs. In pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered territory, a student residence slumlord skims a small amount off security deposits for bullshit charges when people leave. After realizing it was a deliberate scam, OP gives a heads up to other students in the building. The dad of one of the other tenants was a lawyer who took it personally and started digging. Turned out the guy had a dozen properties and they could prove it it was going on for years, meaning he skimmed enough money to enter criminal charges territory and potentially jeopordize his legal status and ownership of the properties. Oops! This slumlord was a dick that wouldn't do any maintenance, so the tenants kept a leak flowing for months racking up an increasingly insane water bill. They'd shut off the water whenever someone would come by looking for the source of the leak, and in the end the landlord shelled out 25k to fix a non-existent problem that could have been avoided by doing 15 bucks worth of maintenance. It's a nice blend of BWM and schadenfreude  FREE TB

The financial independence daily thread pointed me to this amazing conspiracy theory that sounds right up the thread's alley: The Redemption Movement quote:According to the theory, the government created a fictitious person (or "straw man") corresponding to each newborn citizen with bank accounts initially holding $630,000. The theory further holds that through obscure procedures under the Uniform Commercial Code, a citizen can "reclaim" the straw man and write checks against its accounts. Don't let the Jewish shadow government keep you down! It's your straw man money and you want it now!
