  • Holy shit! Wth are those people thinking electing this criminal to office???

    At least he hasn't gotten his law license back after multiple attempts.

    In 2021, Ganim again sought reinstatement of his license to practice law. The Grievance Committee voted, 3–2, to recommend denial of Ganim's request, and in 2023 the Connecticut Superior Court agreed, finding that there was "insufficient" evidence that Ganim was morally fit to practice law.

  • From the article it seems at least some are Americans in politics ... and that not only sucks but it's dangerous as hell for anyone trying to get to the bottom of shit like this.

  • Not much is "normal" anymore. Early/more vicious/more often is the new normal in just about everything.

  • I never used to get the flu shot and rarely got the flu (like twice in 20 yrs or so). That changed in '08-'09 when I got hit with the Norwalk and it kicked my ass for weeks.

    Now I get whatever shots are available.

  • In America all debt does not, in fact, die with the individual. It can be passed down to spouses ... which is about as fucked up as it gets.

    Here is a list of debts that can be passed down.

  • Debt collectors purchase medical debt from banks for cents on the dollar. The fundraiser is going through an agency that's does this so they can help far more people.

    John Oliver on LWT did the same thing in 2016, purchasing $15 million in debt for $60k. Here's that story.

  • To me as well. I mean my nation's is in rough shape, but at least we have universal health care.

  • You don't have to interpret anything. It's clear you're acting like an whiny asshole, and now you're doubling down ... so here's more 🧀🧀🧀🧀

  • It did to me, because I have a locked-in pension from a former union job and after I quit I transferred it to my bank ... who proceeded to tell me I had no choice but to put it into stocks. As of rn it's finally back up to what I had in 2008.

    I fucking hate the stock market.

  • Not sure why you're pushing to be the asshole here, but you're doing a damn fine job of it.

  • An abandoned Detroit warehouse that was once used by the police department to store evidence provides a perfect example of the negligence that rape kits are treated with. In 2009, the deputy chief of the special victims unit in Detroit visited the property and discovered piles of black garbage bags and emptied oil drums filled with 11,341 abandoned rape kits, some of them dating back to rapes from the 1980s—all of them untested.

    This has been going on for years and years and years.
