Let's do the space-time warp again!

What do they do in spain? Being a notary means different things in different countries; in the US it's basically just certifying copies and signatures, but a notario in Mexico is a much more involved and is basically a sort of government-sanctioned law practice - you have to be a lawyer with 5 years of practice to qualify. I assume there's a relation to the spanish version, so you're probably looking at less of a notary and more of a special-function attorney.

Edit: Beaten, I guess, so as compensation I will add that in the US you have people that prey on this difference by advertising themselves as 'Noatrios' to Spanish-speaking or immigrant communities, suggesting that they have a lot more capacity than they actually have as a notary and bilking people for crazy fees.

It's a common and severe enough fraud that South Carolina has made it straight up illagal for an SC Notary to advertise themselves as notario publicos.

I dont know about SC, but the Oregon notary training states it is because "notario publico" implies legal services and such in Spanish speaking countries and that many spanish speaking immigrants will assume it means the same thing here. Perhaps the answer is not racism but trying to protect a vulnerable group of consumers.

Oh god reading that post is exactly what it felt like to catch up with friends from back home who, at 30, still live in the exact same neighborhood they were born in

Just the other day this occurred to me too. Someone who I worked with in high school 14 years ago at Mcdonalds ran into some family that still lived in the small town I grew up in. They moved on up...to Subway, probably making only 3 or 4 dollars more an hour than they did over a decade ago.

That kid's doing the right thing with his life by asking how he can make escaping a lifetime of misery happen. It'll be a rocky start but he'll be in a much better spot to fall into a job with upward potential. If nothing else, the community college system in California is nothing short of excellent and that would help him get an education to boost that change.

I still have not received my $27000 wire reversal from GDAX and it's been almost 40 days.


quote:

I wired $27000 to GDAX, and it was declined due to a name mismatch. They said they would reverse the funds, and that it would take up to 7 days. It's now been 40 days, and I have tried everything. I've made multiple cases, I've tried to reach out to them on Twitter, sent messages to random employees on LinkedIn. I've contacted their bank, and their bank in NY said that Coinbase has not replied to any of their emails inquiring about the reversal, and that the money was received by Coinbase but that they have still not put in a reversal on the money.

lol that post is great stuff. One of the top downvoted comments (that makes no sense):

I'm new to cryptocurrency and I've had my eye on Bitcoin off and on since it started, but never had any money to invest. Recently found an uncashed check and want to invest, yet I see all these exchanges have issues. Does anyone have a recommended place to store? Also easy way to mine Alt coins? I have a strong rig and would like to put it to use while not using it.
How bad at life and money do you have to be to lose loving cheque and then find it later... but decide to "invest" in bitcoin when clearly you loving need it.

The Beachbody "Rockstar" package is the most expensive package they offer. It costs $350 (for distributors to purchase, customers pay more of course). Let's see how a "coach" tries to upsell her downline so she can take more money from them:

It was a $300 class action settlement check from a large bank for shady practices while working for them. And I'm a college student, so I live on financial aid and receive food stamps. So $300 I haven't missed is money I can afford to invest since if it's lost, I never really had it. Plus, I've been meaning to invest in crypto and new weed stocks with California legalizing.

I bought MJX right after they announced the Sessions thing on the dip at 34.50. I really doubt anything is going to come from the Sessions thing since the legalized states aren't going to hand over their new found tax revenue without a huge ugly fight.

Sorry, I was burying the lede again. As others have mentioned it's a very different role, you need to be a lawyer and then sit an "oposición", something like an SAT for aspiring notaries, and hope to get one of the ~200 openings available per year. According to this article it takes 6 years full-time studying on average, after the 4 year undergrad law degree, for the oposición and you have to rote memorize the 1,976 articles of the civil code, keeping up to date with any modifications.

It's probably BWM for 99% of people who try.

Canadian companies doing legal marijuana (mostly trading OTC) as well as some US companies that are likely to have high marijuana exposure with broader legalization, these companies or ETFs are up like 60% YOY. Not quite crypto, but at least they are real businesses with real revenues selling real goods in the real world.

The first news story I heard about it was Cory Gardner saying he was going to block Trump’s Justice Department nominations until Sessions gave up. He said he was against legalization, but the people of the state voted for it, so it was his responsibility to support that now.
