The problem is, if this poo poo is still ongoing or flares up after it cools for a bit in the fall like the 1918 influenza pandemic did, it's likely going to massively cripple turnout in states that don't take steps to allow mail-in ballots or at the very least, early voting or curbside voting.

I'm in a weird situation where I'm relieved my mom died last year and isn't living through this poo poo.

Mostly because it would have stressed me the gently caress out on a daily basis because she had a severe drinking problem with respiratory issues to boot and I could easily imagine me having to plead with her not to leave her crappy apartment on a daily basis followed by her leaving and eventually getting sick :smith:

Thankfully my dad and step-parents are all doing pretty well and are taking this seriously. My youngest sister has told my dad and step-mom she'll go do shopping and such since they are older and she's got nothing better to do.

Pryor on Fire posted:

So they're still writing tickets for possession that will ruin people's lives forever because all those civil tickets show up on background checks. Right? Am I misunderstanding the bill?

Why is everything the democrats do some awful convoluted compromise that just fucks poor people more and more.

VA isn't anywhere close to fully legalizing even if Lee Carter or someone else proposed a bill to do so. They're taking steps to get there and this is a good step towards getting there but it's likely the political will to push through full legalization isn't quite there yet. You've also got several state's attorneys who said prior to this happening that they wouldn't let their offices pursue any simple possession charges, so there's that as well.

The alternative is Corey Stewart and the GOP continuing to hold on tight to both houses of the state legislature and none of this poo poo coming to pass. VA has been killing it with good legislation as of late too (just made Election day a holiday and took away Lee-Jackson day, as well as no-excuse absentee/mail in ballot voting), so I'm not gonna lose sleep over this.


Also yes, forums are loading incredibly slow for me right now.

Another interesting thing, most states with medical marijuana have public facing records of who is a card holder.

This is helpful to know if you plan to get a card and buy firearms, because the fed still looks at medical as criminal drug use, so buy your guns before you get a medical card.

Someone here ages ago posted something about some bill in committee that was attempting to rectify that but I can't remember any specifics.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Obviously it didn't pass, but it'd be nice.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:

Most of the "banks took my money" stories are related to overdrafts than anything else. If you have a loan/cc with the bank you use and are behind on those payments, then you can expect it to disappear then, too.

They're not just letting creditors take your money, unless the bank is the creditor you owe.

Though speaking as someone who worked for a large national bank, gently caress overdraft fees. They are predatory as poo poo and they know it.


There is no reason to charge someone $35x5 because your mortgage check overdrew your account by a buck and then you used your debit card for four smaller transactions before you realized what was happening.

And gently caress the excuse that they made us give of "Well if we didn't let you overdraft, what would happen if your rent check bounced!?!"

Also if you weren't aware, you can opt out of allowing your account to overdraft. Or you can link your savings (if you're fortunate enough to have one) to cover any overdrafts.

Ok yeah, 8K is a loving lot in overdrafts. I have no idea what that families particular backstory is but if USAA is using that money to cover just the actual overdrafts (things they paid for while the family had no money in their account) then that is fair game.


IIRC, most of the time once you hit a certain limit, for obvious reasons, the banks stop letting you overdraft (because a checking account is not a line of credit and it's a liability issue for them). So it's entirely possible out of the 8K, USAA is owed like 150-200 dollars in fees and the rest is entirely what they wrote checks for/used a debit card for.

Mr. Nice! posted:

reading the article, the family had an account negative $8000 due to massive overdrafts. The family claimed "some" of that was due to fraud, but could not prove the fraud. I've had a USAA debit card stolen and a friend has had her USAA checkbook stolen. The requirements to prove fraud are nearly nothing.

I don't mean to be that guy, but that family in particular drained their account as much as they could then opened a new bank account with another bank. I've seen that type of thing happen in the past, and I'm not surprised that the bank used the money towards that debt. It's very common in the personal banking world.

This too. Fraud is as easy as "My account has fradulent activity", we freeze your account immediately, get you to file a police report and depending on what it was, you can sometimes get your money back (if you wired it overseas, you are SOL). It's not a slow process by any means.
