DACK FAYDEN posted:it got shut down for money laundering, which it technically could have been Some people might not have any other way of getting enough spare change. A lot of businesses don't make change because they maintain low cash levels and people may not have any banks in their areas. Even then, banks aren't required to make change which is some goddamned bullshit if you ask me.

Our work washing machines are smaller Electrolux commercial units and seem to last about 20-25 years of moderate to heavy use. I wish we would replace them like for like but the current management doesn't want to shell out for a $6000 washing machine and we destroy the household units. I think this laundry conundrum has colored my views of the heap of dead residential units I've seen. oh hey maybe I will float buying some used/refurbs, we have a ton of parts and they are easy to fix until the drums rust out of shape: https://www.ebay.com/itm/W620-Wascomat-W-Series-Coin-or-Card-Solid-Mount-Front-Load-Washing-Machine-USED/274682536670 poll plane variant has issued a correction as of 06:54 on Mar 3, 2021 |

My wife bought a speed queen washer and dryer because the ones that were in this house when we moved in both stopped working completely within a month. The guy at the local appliance store told her that all the employees had speed queens at home. I have no idea if that was actually true.

When I worked at a bank, they hid behind some Patriot Act bullshit where very technically making change for a terrorist could be considered doing business with them. In reality, it was just a way to get people to open accounts, and keep ou6r people who couldn't afford to have one. e: We also switched from "free money orders for account holders" to "one free money order a day, $2 each up to $500 after the first" also lost us a decent number of customers who relied on them to pay rent and utilities and who couldn't drive. Working at a bank was really great for seeing just how easy it is to profit from the suffering of the poor or infirm. SpacePig has issued a correction as of 15:19 on Mar 3, 2021 |

At my last apartment the management lady was at least, uh, "nice" enough to tell us multiple times that if we have a criminal record of any kind at all to not even bother paying the $50 application fee because we'd be throwing it away and she feels bad when that happens lmao

Also the application fee had to be a money order for some reason? Like not even cash was acceptable, only a money order, not really sure what the deal with that was. Everything after that (deposit, first/last month, rent, etc) was paid by bank transfer, just specifically this fifty bucks of application fee had to be a money order

I think the idea is that they'll get actual money and not a bounced check.  Also, good luck if you have an eviction on your record, even if it was dropped. You'll have to prove that it was dropped yourself, luckily most of that is in public record, but you might have to go to several different websites depending on where you live. Some places you can just download the .PDF, others you'll have to pay a fee.

Shame Boy posted:I swear there was also some idiot that did this for bitcoin too and was just walking down to the bank, taking out a roll of quarters and mailing them himself, but I'm pretty sure it happened a long-rear end time ago and I can't find it Remember when the us was pushing dollar coins really hard and sold them at cost with free shipping over the internet. People would max out their credit cards on them for the points and just walk the coins down to the bank to pay off their balance leaving the government stuck with the shipping and card processing fees and no new coins actually in circulation

im pretty sure it's just as easy to steal those and get them cashed, but it is harder than pure cash I guess. Less obvious too. the real question is why didn't they just buy a card reader and charge you for the transaction fee like a shady gas station while they're at it. actually now that I say it, probably so they don't have to claim it as income lol

I've never lived in an apartment that would accept cash. Any form of check or money order was typically fine, but never cash.

I met an NYPD officer at a rocket launch once who had to retire after 9/11 gave him horrible PTSD and significant health problems and he was real cool. We hung around after the launch and chatted, apparently he thought it was super hosed up how cops "gently caress with people all the time" now and explained how when he was on the force he'd do his best to not have to arrest people cuz it just meant he'd have to fill out more paperwork. He then shared his real fuckin' good weed with me and talked about how all the cops did cocaine before going on patrol cuz the piss tests they'd randomly have to do were always administered at the end of your shift and it wasn't sensitive enough to detect cocaine if you did it several hours before. I mean ACAB still but at least he was an ex-cop and gave me some real good weed.

We saw what they'd do -- they bring in the military and private mercenaries to disappear people. There's many BLM protesters who were taken and never seen again.

Like it's always super uncomfortable to see someone with a bunch of SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS NO STEPPY PWEASE DEFEND AGAINST TYRANNY OF THE STATE etc. bumperstickers and then right below them is something like this:  Guys what do you think the military is, exactly?

The vast majority of people in the US own exactly zero guns, and then you have the occasional nutjob or whatever who owns thousands because that's all they spend their money on outside of shelter and food, which pushes the average way up.

Armed protestors who never fired any rounds got called rioters and insurrectionists. Then the FBI arrested people for merely being in attendance (with the help of eager-to-doxx citizenry). What exactly does anyone think can be accomplished in this hellhole in the present term?
