Your mother!

I was in Wisconsin spending the long weekend with my girlfriend, you ding-dongs.

First off, I am eternally grateful to all of y'all who gave me some cash to help me float through some tough times.

Second, I'll explain the probe. It wasn't an SA Mart thing, it was a private transaction via another forum. I was literally on the way to mail a DVD set to a fellow, and my bus got re-routed from downtown Madison because of the George Floyd protests. A day or two later, oh, hey, I was hospitalized again. And then spent ages in and out of the hospital. In a drug-induced haze, I sold that set to someone else for cash.

That fellow, justifiably, wanted his money back. I said I'd get it to him by January 1, because I have been working full-time since December 13. My agency pays weekly. I had to cover some utilities before I could do so, so I ate the probe. But then I paid him back, with interest, with money from my own paychecks and nothing that I have been (very graciously) given from y'all.

Does that answer things?

ahh at last, after faffing about and wailing about why they have to do anything they've finally arrived at the glaringly obvious loving solution and it only took them 1 full year and another 400k+ deaths to get there.

they should go one step further and not have people request them, just have the USPS drop 2-4 in every mailbox 3x a week.

Thanks for this!

Throwing another gripe on the pile, you can’t double dip like I tried by ordering them for both me and my kid since it’s 1 order per residential address, which makes sense for she and I, but I also tried ordering for all the families on my caseload, and that doesn’t really fit for a family of 9 people.

That was what made me so mad when they got all huffy with the “should we just send a test to every American?!?!”

Ye… yes? The federal government controls an entire monolithic organization which has as its entire reason for existence providing an easy way to send packages to every American :psyduck: This should have been very easy!

But even still like you note they haven’t taken the easy way. It’s mind-boggling.

I mean, yeah, they should try and get as many as possible to everyone they can, but I don't think most households need 24 tests a week (each order has 4 tests)

I am not sure how they would hijack it since they'll be shipped to your address? Better put some traps in your bushes

24 tests a week for about 120 million households is 2.8 billion.

I don't know what manufacturing capacity for tests is but that seems like an a lot.

Are you in an apartment building? I could see a possibility that someone listed your unit in error if so.

Otherwise they'll just get shipped to your house with someone else's name on it.

And it would go in one of those massive iron boxes so a massive iron mailbox so the chances of that getting intercepted is zero. It's a house.

Makes me think the system has already either crapped out or ran out of tests to allocate.

I committed no fraud. Look it up: The central Madison, WI, post office is on the Capitol Square. It got torched and boarded up. Buses were suddenly getting rerouted. I lived in Fitchburg at the time, which is not exactly a stone's throw from downtown Madison, particularly on a bus route.

I loving paid the guy with money that I can show from a W2. Jesus Christ.
